Against The Loan
London, Feb. 18. During the early debate, Mr. Geoffrey Mander intimated that the Opposition Liberals would voto against the loan.

Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister, re-emphasised that the sole object of the proposed expendi- ture was to bring up Britain's fight- ing forces to the standard' necessary to ensure the safety of Great Britain and the Empire and to enable us to play our part in securing the pence of the world."
