Only a short time before Prime
,Ti,,isto,. Neville Chamberlain had
struck a bargain with Premier
Trnito MussoIini of Italy as Eden,
driven into rcsigning his post, be-
rated his former colleagues in the
cabinet for yielding" to II Duce's
threats. 90 H.
Chamberlain, fighting off the
enraged opposition of IaoorlteS'
liberals and "rebel" conservatives,
defended his snap bargain with
Ttaly as asserting that it was nee
ossarv to avert the threat of war
between Britain and Italy.
As the debate carried on late
into the night, with laborite
charges that Chamberlain's mad
ness" would weaken British rela-
tiors with the United States, the
labor party executive committee
served notice that it would ask a
vote of censure tomorrow against
chamberlain and his cabinet.
Conservatives of the house,
meeting privately after adjourn
ment at 1850 p. m, unanimously
voted their confidence in Cham
! bcrIain who topped off the nights
| debate with a sharp denial that
he sought to make peace at any
m.ice" with Europe's dictators.
The motion Of censure will be
| mt to a vote Tuesday night.
The vote of censure, based on
! Chamberlain foreign policies,
might force Chamberlain to order
general election to bolster his
prestige.
It was learned that Chamber
lain has formally selected Wis
count Halifax. rabid champion OF
close relations with Germany and
italy, to succeed Eden as for
! eign secretary.
The motion Of ccnsure will be
presented by Arthur Greenwood,
| iaborite, who will ask support for
the following resolution:
"This house deplores the cir
cumstances in which the late for,
eign secretary was obliged to re-
SIGN his office and has no conf
dence in his majesty'S present adj
visers in their conduct of foreign
affairs"
