Against The Loan

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

Mr. Clement R. Attlee, Labour Op- position leader, insisted the Govern ment had absolutely no peace polley and was merely piling up armaments contemplating war as a certainty.

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."
