 CONFIDENCE VOTE
Foreign SeCretary's Actions at Geneva Win Appreciation

London. March ?4 Rl-Slr Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary, has descended the scaffod" in the house Of commons to do penance for his alleged short at Geneva which eliminated in the breakdown Of the League Of Nations sessions at which Germany was to have been elected to membership.
 But there was no hanging. h. stead. notwithstanding the taunts Of the opposition leaders, Sir Austen last night was given what was equl- Valent to a vote Of confidence Of S25 to l36--or a majority of 1S9.
 (The action Of the house Of com mons In London was the second similar one Of yesterday for the Reichstag in Berlin adopted by q show of hands a motion approving the German governments course at Geneva as carried out by Chancellor Luther and Foreign Minister Strese- mann. Only the German national party and the extreme nationalists and communists opposed the motion. Likewise the Reichstag voted down down an opposition resolution Of confidence in the government and a motion demanding the with drawal Of Germanys applications for entry into the League of Nations)
 David Lloyd George and Ramsey Macdonald, former labor premier, led in the attack on Sir Austen, Mir. Lloyd George moved for a reduction in the foreign office estimates in or der to call attention to the proceed ings at Geneva and the action of the foreign secretary. Adoption would have been tantamount to vote of censure of Sir Austen. MT. Lloyd George said that his criticism was that tho Locarno pact signatories were responsible for the breakdown at Geneva and that this breakdown had injured the machinery of peace to such an extent that many of Sir Austcn's best friends despaircd of it's effect.
 Mir Macdonald criticized Sir Aus tens work at Geneva as the most lamentable failure that British di- plomacy has faced for many years"
 The foreign secretary in his re- ply denied repeatedly that he had made Engagements" with NJ. Briand, the French premier, or the Bra gillian or Spanish representatives re- garding the admission of Poland, Spain or Brazil 10 the league. He at tributed the failure al Geneva large ly to advance publicity and cOnse- quent specialization of national as- pirations of countries seeking seats in the council, which made it im- possible to arrive at any compro- mise arrangement for the election of Germany.
