Labour's motion of censure in the House of Com-territory. mons, according to reports from London to-day, was defeated by a vote of 424 to 79. The censure was in respect to the Government's defence plans, which envi- slon the expenditure of more than £10,000,000 over last year's defence estimates, largely to be used in strengthening the country's Air Force.

Sir John Simon, explaining the Government's policy, said that they had not departed from their trust and belief in the efficacy of a League of Nations in which every major power was represented, and that they were labouring still for conditions which would allow the return of Germany to Geneva.

Women who scattered pacifist pamphlets and shouted against the Government's defence policy, were expelled from the Strangers' Gallery during the debate.

London, March 11.

The House of Commons to-night passed a voto of canidance in the Government by 424 to 79,

r.

The vote was on the Government defence policy, which demands an in- creaan of £10,500,000 in the Army estimates, envianging an iner ass of the Royal Air Fores and other defence units. The House rejected the Labourite motion of cousure of the Government's plan. Labour Government's charged, that the policy was a "repudiation of the League of Nations."-United Press.
