LONDON. July 27.-Parliament rose

after the new Labor government had
weathered its first month of life and
emerged unScathed from q stormy at

policies during this mornings session
Freedom from attendance at the
House Of Commons will give Prime Min

sires to get down to work" unham-
pered by parliamentary duties.
Foremost in his plans Is the trip to
the United States In October to confer
with President Hoover for the purpose
of advancing the causes Of disarmament
and world peace. Parliament reassem-
bles on october 20.
brought forth heated debate over the
resignation Of Lord Lloyd, high COM

former chancellor Of the exchequer,

Is his personal friend.
Churchill Grows Fiery.
do you want to have puppets,
trained to sing tunes which you think
are popular?" Churchill asked with
great emphasis. This remark was
tack. Criticism by Churchill in the
House Of Commons and by Lord Salisbury
and Lord Birkenhead in the House Of
Lords yesterday, however, in the opin-
ion OF moderate observers has been
somewhat overdone.
When Foreign Secretary Henderson
came to answer the criticism FIRST
voiced by Stanley Baldwin today he
was able to show that on four major
occasions in the life of the previous
Conservative government Lord Lloyd
had been in direct conflict with the
home administration over Egyptian
policy, Lloyd sometimes being over
ruled and sometimes overriding his SUI
periors M London.
Henderson maintained there was no
real change Of policy contemplated in
Egypt, but that 1t would be practically
impossible to carry out the policy Of the
governments declaration of 1922 while
Lloyd remained as high commissioner.
Has Conversed With Premier.
Henderson did not 60 into particulars
regarding how the new government pro-
posed to deal with Egypt but he ad-
mitted that he had been in converse
ton with the Egyptian premier and
that the government had Just appointed
a subcommittee of the cabinet to con-
slider Egyptian policy.
The excitement Of the concluding
sitting Of the House continued with de-
bate on reparations and the Young
plan. Describing the report as lin
credible" former Premier Lloyd George
raised the issue. He declared he was
amazed that the Young report should
be proposed to the British treasury as
q fair settlement Of British reparations
claims.
Lloyd George said he hoped Chan
cellor Of the Exchequer Snowden would
use his influence to obtain substantial
modification before the plan was ap-
proved by Parliament.
Lloyd George went on to say that
since the war England had lost at the
very least $4,000. 900 900 of trade directly
owing to war devastations. I'VE are pay
ing f34 ,000, 900 annually the war debts
incurred really to finance the allies but
for which we should not have needed
to borrow from the United States"
Lloyd George DenOunces Plan.
Criticizing the Young plan in detail.
the fiery Liberal leader pointed out that
practically nothing would come to Great
Britain out of the payments Of uncon-
ditional annuities, but still we are
obliged to pay our 1874 ,000, 900 to Amer
lea. The f25 ,000, 900 paid to France
had the best security in the world, but
we had none. Our payments would be
precarious and would ultimately vanish.
