Kitchener, Haig And Jellicoe Accountant, Diplomat And A Soldier

THREE boys born as the great war drew to a close

bore 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 Lord Jellicoe, they plan lives for themselves vastly different from those led by the great men they follow.

SOCIALISM kicked Sir Staf

ford Cripps out recently and banged the door on him.

All the exasperation of the party with the man who has been Its Cosseted pet, chlef embarrassment, and headstrong rebel was expressed in the crushing vote of 2.100,000 to 402,000, by which the Socialist Con- ference supported the executive's act in expelling him for his Popular Front netivities.

An amazing vole this, that annihi- lated Cripps.

Afterwards he told reporters: "1 do not contemplate applying for readmission. The vote show they do not want me now.

"I should be the last person in the world to push myself in those cir- cumstance."

Politically speaking. he has no plans for the future. But he wil exercise his right as an ex-Solicitor- General to sil on the Opposition Front Bench.

STOLE THE SHOW

A thunderous declaration against him had been expected. But the majority gave Cripps an even harder push than most would have forecast, It-means-that-the-mnes-of-Socialists hope that, having been put out he will stay out.

When he had been heard he left the conference through a door marked "Way Out."""A steward held it wide open.

The most terrific speech made in tils grand confrontillon did not come from Cripps at all.

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

He had been infuriated, like mast of the conference, by the reference which a delegate from a Socialist legal society supporting Cripps had made to Cripps's professional ser- vices to the movement, especially the niners at the Gresford inquiry.

9 MONTHS OF TALK

Socialists think that these Iributes to the virtues of Cripps have been badly overdone and shouted fiercely when the Intes! one was made,

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

And with o fine flow of speech, which I can only wish were more Imitated in these mincing days, hẹ erled: "We have spent nine blusted: months, in a pre-general election year doing nothing but argue the loss about Cripps."

The full conference vote is 2,700,- 600. Practically all of that, except- ing 402,000, shoved Cripps out, The constituency parties, which put Cripps did not get anything like that. backing,

End of a hero. Cripps, as on ex- pelled member with no constitu tional right to speak, got his chance to have his say by the surprisingly narrow vote of 1,227,000 to 1,083,000. CHEERS AND BOOS~~
