declared that 1t was one Of the most
formidable challenges ever given de-

A Labor member shouted: I'VE hope

But the Premier went on 'unperturbed

league could not work unless the big

silence by friends of the league like Sir
Robert Cecil who shifted uneasily in his
seat, but did not attempt to interrupt
the Premier.
The move of the Laborites, through
their council, for direct action gave
the Premier just the handle he needed
to swing an oft repeated challenge by the
Coalition that II (the Coalition) was the
only barrier against an outright Labor
Socialist government upon principles
subversive 10 the foundation OF the Brit

avidity and swung out right and left,
bitterly chiding Mr.. Clynes. Mr.. Thomas

their bold defence OF what they had done.
