Richard Holt, which the ministers had
made a question Of confidence. was
rejected in the house of commons by
the very substantial majority of 131.

that continued military effort is to be
the only immediate task of the gov
eminent. It was supported mainly by
pacifists.

prevail and confidence of the war cab

shown themselves to be deeply sym
pathetic for the cause of America in
the war against Germany. They have
not been slow to comprehend the situa-
ton and to lend an eager and helpful
hand to democracy.
The Filipinos, long the victims of
a most brutal and terrifying system of
autocracy-a combination IF political
and ecclesiastical rule under the Span
ish regime, have acquitted themselves
