Censuring Motion
Against Govt. Beaten
in English Commons

London. Apr. 5-(By A. P.)-Al-
though number OF laborites and in
dependent liberals voted with the
die hards" the motion of Sir Will
liam Joynson-H Hicks censuring the
government, which was debated in
the house of commons lengthily and
acrimoniously tonight, was over
whelmingly defeated. No division
was taken on the motion itself, but
the amendment of the coalition
unionists was carried 2SS to 95.
"The unionist party meeting" as
Joseph Devlin described the discus
sion of the die hards' resolution at
tracted full house. There was much
banter throughout the debate, but
bitterness was discernible below the
surface between the die hards" and
their unionist colleagues. Joynson-
Hicks appealed to the conservative
servative party as the countrys
greatest instrument for political
good.
Austen Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader, who at an early stage
entered the arena. declared that the
government. was anxious for a vote
The ''die hards." he declared, were
either unable to define their prin-
cipies or deliberately rcfrained in orr
der to swell the small section of the
conservative party which they might
be able to split away from it.
Lord Hugh Cecil violently assailed
the government generally and Mr..
Lloyd George and Mr.. Chamberlain
particularly declaring that their ac-
the country's safety. He and Mr..
Chamberlain had several sharp tilts,
ministerial uproars drowning some
OF Lord Hugh's caustic remarks.
If the government cannot follow
their political principles they should
resign" he cried and he added that
he feared the dlscredit of Britain
had affected its commercial reputa-
ton throughout the world.
In speaking to his motion Joynson-
Hicks disavowed any intention of a
personal attack on the prime minis
ter or his colleagues.
Neither do | attack the prcmier'S S
principles he continued. What |
object TO is the application of liberal
principles to conservative policy"
He feared that if the coalition
were perpetuated on the present lines
it would inevitably result sooner or
later in d revolution or an attempted
revolution.
Ronald Mcneil. in scconding the
motion asserted that it was necessary
in Great Britain's Democratic system
to conduct politics OH party lines.
Lieut.. Col. Gerald Hurst of Man
chester moved the amendment de-
claring that lack Of definite and CO.
herent principle in the policy of the
present coantion government is a
myth. engineered by misunderstand-
ing and Misrepresentation Those

not trying either to wreck the gov
ernment or split parties. Nothing in

said and in view Of the great danger
Of socialism and Bolshevism the
coalition was necessary.

TO FIGHT BILL TATE

Chicago, April 5-Jack Dempsey
today announced his Willingness to
meet Bill Tate, his former sparring
partner and claimant of the negro
heavyweight title, provided any pro-
moter will offer acceptable terms.
Dempsey came here from Los An

New York and sail for Europe Tues
day.
Just say l would like to giye Bill
Tate shot at the title" Dempsey
said. Bill was a good sparring part
ner and | understand he has i'm
proved greatly in his boxing. If he
defeated Harry Wills dccisively, then
] cannot see why they want me to
fight Harry.
IF the public is not satisfied which
is the best man, then some promoter
should stage 15-round decision con-
test between the pair and find out
once and for all which is the best
man.
Tate has everything which goes
~ lltdhC IL great uSulti, Dut DCIItN q
| can handle him as easily in a fight
as in the practice ring. Bill would
probably give me a better fight than
Willard, Miske or Carpenter did"
Dempsey said he held telephone
conversation with Jack kearns in
New York today and there are few
bitches in the proposed European
trip which Kearns expects to
straighten out before sailing.
New York, April Jack Dempsey
wants to fight during his stay abroad
but no matches have yet been ar
ranged for him, Jack kearns, the
champions manager, announced to-
night.
Dempsey is anxious to get into ac-
tion," kearns said. Il told him that
he will do a little fighting abroad and
he just takes it for granted that
I've got him hooked up with each and
every man in Europe capable of
holding up his dukes. AS a. matter
of fact l haven't signed Jack to meet
anyone in particular, thought l have
made up smy mind that Europe will
see the champion in action"
Earlier in the day Dempsey while
passing through Chicago on his way
