PREMIER'S POLICY
Sir John Simon Argues
Government's Case
BRITAIN ENDANGERED,

London. October 6.
Amid resounding cheers. Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Ex- thequer, yesterday, moved a motion in the House of Commons ap- proving of the polley of the Government whereby war was averted in the recent crisis and to support the Government's efforts to secure a lasting peace.
Sir John said that one lesson from the crisis, which was perhaps the greatest lesson of all, was that the mass of the people of every country were equally horrified at the prospect of war.
