Need Emphasised By “Mr. A. Greenwood

LONDON, Apr. 24 (Reutor). -Mr. Arthur Greenwood, De- puty, at a luncheon speech yesterday emphasised the need for freedom of expression.

Stressing that the Labour Party stood 100 per cent. behind any effort necessary for the successful prosecu- tion of the war, Mr. Greenwood sald That litier made his first capital blunder when he decided on the in- varion of Denmark and Norway.

That blunder proved that Corporal Illiler could never have been a sailor, he said.

"Not Very Flattering

"I should like to be able to read) Admiral Raeder's diary," he said, "to see what he thinks of his beloved leader. I should not think the dlary would be very flattering."

Discussing the neutrais, Mr. Green- | wood said that even the United States was having to pay heavy bill for armaments not because she herself was threatened but because no one knew how far this war would extend. He would not plead with the neu- trals to join the Allies as the powers already on their aide were imply sufficient.
