Cries Of Order

Mr. Woodburn (Soc., Clackman- nan): Is there any suggestion that Austria at the end of the war? we are going to impose him on

Mr. Silverman (Soc., Nelson and Colne): Does the Under-Secretary suggest that Prince von Starhem- berg is more worthy to fight for democracy than many of our in- ternees in this country?

Captain Balfour: That is a different question from the one on the paper. If this man is willing to fight in our cause and risk his life, he deserves our gratitude.

Mr. Wedgwood, speaking with some warmth, asked, "Why will you not allow other allens from Austria to fight?"

Above loud cries of "Order," Mr. Wedgwood continued: "You keep them in prison, but allow a Scoundrel like that to fight for democracy. I want

from the Government."

No reply was given,

*** Prince von Starhemberg was one of the early disciples of Hit- ler, and took part in the abortive beer-cellar puisch of Munich. Soon afterwards he and Hitler became estranged, and the prince forined his own Fascist-like Heimweh in Austria, He fled from Austria before Hitler marched in, and an-; nounced that he had consecrated his life to wiping out Hitlerism and restoring the freedom of Aus- tria.

DAMAGES FOR SPITFIRE FUND

More and more property own- ers are giving to the national cause the sums awarded them as compensation for damage due to forced landings by R.A.F. aircraft. In the Isle of Wight a bomber came down in the grounds of a Preparatory School near Ryde, damaging the turf near the cricket pitch.

Mr. K. S. Mitcheson, the owner, has generously suggested that the sum awarded to cover the dam- age should be paid to the Spit- fire Fund.
