The demand of the British Labor
group made in the House of Com
mons that the Chamberlain Govern
ment be ousted has been accepted
by the Prime Minister as challenge
to test the vote on confidence in his
government.
The demand Is supported by David
Lloyd George who led Great Britain
to victory in the World War with
the Allies. He vehemently denounc-
ed the "unintelligent and half-heart-
ed" leaderships and in a tensley
dramatic moment pointed to Prime
Minister Chamberlain, who he said
had spoken of sacrifices. and bitter
ly said: There is nothing that would
contribute more to the cause of
victory in this war than that he
sacrifice the seals of his office"
Herbert Morrison, vigorous Labor
leader and virtual Gar of London's
municipal Government, made the
motion for vote on mo confidence"
in the British Government. Cham
berlain said he was willing to face
the test.

The Netherlands Tightens
Defense as Troops
Near Border
BALKANS STIRRED
BY MORE RUM0RS
Eyes Turned Toward Rome
for Mussolini's
Actions
(By Associated Press)

New fears that Europes war is
on the verge of spreading to new
fronts heightened interest as Prime
Minister Chamberlain's Government
in Great Britain faces bitter test
1t Is reliably stated that the chief
opposition to the Chamberlain Gov
eminent will come from the Par
liamentary Labor group which is
prepared to introduce motion OF
mo confidence" when debate starts
today and a vote will probably be
taken by tonight.
Netherlands Anxious
In The Netherlands, great sus-
pense is felt over increasingly I'M
certain international situation. The
Netherlands has frightened defense
to the utmost following cutting off
telephone communications with the
outsid world during the night.
Germans on Move
A New York source, closely In
touch with the situation, said re-
ports were that one column OF
German troops was moving to-
ward the Dutch border from Bre-
men and another column was
moving from Dusseldorf. The des-
tination of both columns is said
to be Leeuwarden, near the Dutch
northeast coast and Arnheim, 90
miles southeast, which will be
valuable air bases. Official German
sources, however, deny emphati-
cally that any columns are NOV
ing toward the Dutch nation.
Southeast Europe Strain
Southeast Europe is stirred by
reports that Germany has asked
Hungary for right f-way through
her territory for Nazi troops.
A Sofia newspaper, regarded as
Nazi mouthpiece, carries a Ber-
lin dispatch saying Germany and
Italy are ready to send large ar
mics into Southeastern Europe if
Allied action is apparent
Prepare Quickly"
Everywhere in Europe there
seems TO be a watchword Prepare
Quickly"
Chamberlain's statement yester-
day in the House of Commons that
an unexpected blow might be struck
at England, has caused an alarm
that air raids by Germans may be
the next Nazi move in the war
against the Allies.
Eyes on MussOlini
All eyes will be turned toward
Rome on Thursday when Premier
Mussolini stages one of his specta-
cular military reviews on the an
niversary OF the proclamation of
the Italian Empire. Mussolini will
decorate Italian war veterans and
may throw more light on Italy's
future role in the European war.
For days Fascist spokesman and
editors have been making warlike
threats and British diplomats are
understood to have pressed Italy
for clearer statement Of her
intentions.
