OPPOSITION CENSURE MOTION LOST 'Guarding "Government Evading Responsibilities in Europe"-Labour Home Secretary's Spirited Duke, Duchess Of Windsor

Defence of Policy

LONDON, Nov. 8.

INITIATING THE LABOUR opposition's motion "That this House express its grave concern at the admitted unpreparedness to protect the civilian population in September", Mr. Herbert Morrison contended that the country was gravely un- prepared, and that the Government under-estimated vital consideration of Air Raid Precautions in relation to its conduct in diplomacy and defence.

Mr. Morrison also contended that Government was contemptuously evading responsibility. The Government would earn the record of incompetence and indecision, and to sail out of troubles by appointing some new victim (Sir John Anderson) to administer an imperfect policy. For this, the whole Cabinet should be held responsible.

What he wanted was not a British Government was about to double its contribution of £10,000
