Kitchener, Haig And Jellicoe Accountant, Diplomat And A Soldier

THREE boys born as the great war drew to a close

bare names destined to become famous. The men who created the names are dead, but those three war babies are now young men, ready to serve their coutry in another war.

They are Earl Kitchener, aged twenty, grand- nephew of the soldier who raised an army of over 1,000,000 volunteers;

Earl Jellicoe, aged twenty-one, son of the famous admiral, and

Earl Haig, aged twenty-one, son of the British Commander-in-Chief in France.

They are all undergraduates. As for Lord Kitchener and f Lord Jellicoe, they plan lives for themselves vastly different from those led by the great men they follow.

The most terrife speech made in this grand confrontation did not j come from Cripps at all.

It was young Mr. George Brown,

a previously unknown speaker at the conference, who stole the show, gat the biggest cheers, summed up all Socialist anger on the Cripps affairs. Mr. Brown comes from, St. Al bans.

He had been infuriated, like most of the conference, by the reference which a delegate from 1 Socialist

legal society supporting Cripps had made to Cripps's professional ser- vices to the movement, especially the miners at the Gresford Inquiry.

MONTHS OF TALK

Socialists thinit that these tributes to the virtues of Cripps have been badly overdone and shouted fiercely when the latest one was made,

Mr. Brown shouted; "I don't want to be accused of attacking Cripps. But I do think it is me somebody pricked this bubble and pricked it once for all. If Crippa gave every penny he has got and worked from how.until he dies for the movement, he would not give anything more than my men and women members in Hertfordshire."

And with a fino flow of speech, which I can only wish were more Imitated in these mincing days, he cried: "We have spent ning blasted months in a pre-general election year doing nothing but argua tho toss about Cripps,"

The full conference vote is 2,700,- 000. Practically all of that, except- Ing 402,000, shoved Cripps out. The constituency parties, which put Cripps did not get anything like that backding.

Then he waited by, the steps lead- ing to the stage, as the conference, assembled. When he took the stand some booing was, mixed, with the spatter of cheers a new and un- settling experience for Crippa- He rend his speech to a cold and unfriendly house.

This was his claim: "I assert my right in a matter of this importance to attempt, by 'avery method avali- able to me, to convert my comrades in the party to my point of view. One of these methods, was the Pon: |pular Front memorandum.”.
