eff only we had used our

in bitterness other attacks
such as Labor Leader Gle
ment R. Attlee's that the
failures" in the cabinet be
dismissed, and Liberal Chief
tain Sir Archibald Sinclair's
taunt that Britain is fight
ing a one-shift war"
Parliamentary strategists,
who only an hour before had
said only IAN unexpected de-
velopment" could overthrow
the conservatives, saw in the
speech of a man who is a
national hero and an admiral
of the fleet something re-
IulS.
"WOrth Some Risk"
Sir Roger declared that in his
opinion the cost of forcing Trond-
helm with the fleet would "have
been trifling compared with other
operations I have organized and led
"It was surely worth some risk
to win so great a prize" he con-
tinued.
He revealed that the admiralty,
which under Churchill is supposed to
be devoted to the principles of at
tack, told him the forcing of Trond-
helm ford was not considered
necessary as the army was making
progress and the situation in the
Mediterranean made it undesirable
to risk ships"
He declared he was "astounded'
that the naval staff could not realize
the attack was doomed to failure I'M
less British ships sunk German de-
stroyers in the ford.
IIlCSS dIlu Ol1lC1 "OloS VI oSSuoo-

in reply to Chamberlain's hour-long
statement in which he offered only
one remedy for the nations faltering
war effort-Churchill.
Motion Withheld
Despite it's vicious attack, the Ia
Dor party ~generalship decided not to
move for a vote of censure, in the
belief that it had the government

real test was to come in six weeks,
when "other shortcomings" are re-
vealed.
A conservative ginger group" op-
posing the government with the sup
port of former War Secretary Leslie
Hore-Belisha and other men nor
mally in sympathy with the admin
istration, decided likewise to defer
a motion of censure, pending devel-
opments.
What finally emerged from the
houses of parliament shortly after
1870 p. M, vas a government TO-
faced with an aroused and active op-
position and confronting a defiant
house which apparently is backed up
by the nation on every measure it
debates from this pont on.
The government, which apparently
had ridden out the barrage of criti-
from Attlee and Sinclair, fairly
shook as Sir Roger, stung by La
borite Colonel Josiah C. Wedgworth's
that the fleet had gone to
the Mediterranean to escape German
bombs, turned his battery of scorn
and bitterness on his superiors.
Our general advancing from
Steinkjer to Trondheim expected
British ships to support him not

years standing with Churchill over
the Norwegian campaign, spoke for

of strategy.
AS the house listened silently and
soberly, Sir Roger answered Cham
berlain's plea not to consider tne
Norwegian withdrawal another Gal
lipoli' with the carefully spaced SEN
tence:
1.-The Gallipoli tragedy has been fol-
lowed step by STEP"
The campaign to which he referred
was the Allied effort, designed by
Churchill, to force the
during 1916. 1t took a terrific toll OF
men and ships.
The German destroyers in Irond-
hemi ford could have been destroyed
with little risk, Sir Roger declared
He assured the house the defeat
fought never have been allowed to
happen"
The man who, in the last year OF
the World war, hoisted the signal
"St. George for England n let's
give the dragons tail a damned good
twist" bitterly told the house If
only we had used u fleet coura-
geously'' the Germans would now be
holding losing cards in Norway.
Asks For Action
He implored Churchill to steel his
heart and take the steps which are
necessary to ensure that more vlgor-
Gus naval action in Norway is 10
longer delayed"
The only reference in Chamber
lain's speech to Sir Rogers declara-
ton that he had pleaded for a direct
attack on Trondheim was the prime
minister's admission that such an at
tack had been carefully considered"
The land attacks on Trondheim from
| Namsos and Adalsnes were made,
Chamberlain said, at the urgings CT
the Norwegian government.
Lieut.-Col. Leopold Stennett Am
cry, rebel conservative who once was
first lord of the admiralty, added his
barbs to those of Sinclair and Attlee
by crying out somehow or ether we
must get a government of fighting
men of fighting spirit"
II do not feel there is a sentence
in the prime minister's speech which
suggests that the government fore
saw what Germany meant to do, or
came to a clear decision when it
knew what Germany had done, or
acted swiftly or consistently in the
whole of this lamentable affair."" he
went on.
He demanded a supreme war di-
rectorate" and a really national

Attlee, hitherto regarded as "co'
operative and SAFE by the %conserva-
tives, struck first as the leader of
the labor opposition after Chamber
lain had closed with an impassioned
plea for cooperation "in the hour of
England's peril"
Attlee threw the cry of failure"
in the face of the aged prime minis
ter from his opposite bench 20 feet
away and demanded different peo-

conscious of the federal Anti

House through the sale of buttons,
Mrs. Daisy Lampkin, field secre-

ector of the drive, announced to-
day that 10000 buttons have been
distributed in seven states.

$4,000 stop lynching" buttons"
Mrs. Lampkin said. 1--WE believe
that citizens everywhere will well
come this opportunity to carry in

against lynching, as long as this
bill is up for action in Congress.
We want all organizations, frat

Force Better
Social Security

WASHINGTON, D. C. - On
January 1, 1910, new provisions of
the Social Security Act, brought
about by Republican members of
Congress, went into effect. Some
100000 wage-earners and their
families will receive greatly in
creased benefits.
An analysis of these new provi-
sions indicates that most of the
changes made by Congress last
August relate to Old-Age Insur-
ance and Survivors benefits.
Summarized in simple terms, the
most important of these new pro-
visions are:
1. Monthly benefits to insured
wage-earners reaching the age of
65 will begin in 1910. This is two
years earlier than was provided in
the original Act.
2. Monthly benefits will be paid
to aged wives, aged widows, minor
children and orphans of annuitants
and, in some cases, to dependent
parents of insured persons who die.

A weekly banking habit,

John w. Rentie ia Oath Ave. No.
A. H. Wilson was elected presi-
dent; Mrs. Burnside, vice-presi-
dent; Hutchin r. Hutchins, secre-
tary and John w. Rentie, treasur-
err. The treasurer is covered by
bond, a copy of which is on file at
the Banking Dept. of Olympia.
Mr.. Sidney Jordan reported that
Negroes in Seattle had actually
gone into the banking business and
had lent their members money to
modernize their homes, bury their
dead, move their families, pay
types of debts, open businesses and
host of other useful purposes.
"This was done because we saw
that such a service was needed
and went right on and created it"
In the last few months the CO.
operative bank has handled several
hundred dollars and their account
ant, Hutchin R. Hutchins, had their
report ready for the state bank
examiners.

surplus money that we have" said

We believe Mr.. Dies has gone far enough His conduct
of Investigations thus far has smelled strongly of political

the practice of ynchng which is certainly contrary to the

report The national Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, reported five ynchngs two of the victims
it reported white.)
Walter White, secretary of the NAACP, who has been
Washington since Saturday said statistics do not tell all
the facts about lynching during 1889.
"We of two things when we look at present
day lynching statistics. First, while ynchngs have de-
creased in number they have increased in barbsm Second
the statistics which have the number of ynchngs
today do not tell all of the story by any What is
not brought out the fact that mob leaders have adopted
the technique of sprng their victims away quietly and do
ing their dirty without benefit of crowds attendant
publicity"
He pointed to the attempted lynching of two coored
in Meadvile Miss Thursday January a. by mob of
100 whites example of the fact that the call to stop
ynchng must become articulate among people
Two attempted ynchngs also reported at Prentiss
