JAMES GRIFFITHS' TRIBUTE

London, Sept. 13.

Sir Anthony Eden's government tonight won a vote of confidence in its Suez policy after the Prime Minister had promised that barring an emergency, the United Nations would be consulted before force was employed against Egypt.

A Labour opposition move to censure the government was defeated by 321 votes against 251 a majority of 70. A second vote, expressing confidence in the government, was carried by 319 votes against 248 — a majority of 71.

After the vote, Mr James Griffiths, deputy leader of the Labour Party opposition, said the promise “extracted... from the Prime Minister has served and saved this nation.”

SOLICITOR TOLD

A LIE

DECLARES KEAY

William Murray Keay, fourth accused in the mines conspiracy trial, said in the third day of his cross-examination by the Crown this morning, that Mr H. J. Armstrong was telling a lie when he said Keay refused to leave certain licences with him at his (Mr Armstrong's) office until the question of compensation had been settled.

Keay said he had been quite prepared to hand over the licences to Mr Armstrong then. "But I wanted to know what had been arranged in respect of the payment," he added.
