STICKS TO POST

LONDON, May 9-Prime Minister
Chamberlain stuck doggedly to his
post today under blasting fire
of criticism and he limited that he
has no intention of resigning al
though political observers thought
he might leave the post within a
few days.
Chamberlain intimated to his
supporters that he will be Wiling
for further debate on the conduct
of the war in about two weeks
hence.
The vote of confidence given last
night by the House of Commons
to the Chamberlain Government
was only by scant 8l-vote major
ity and came after a day of most
bitter debate.
Trump Card
1t is agreed on all sides that
the trump card, played by Winston
Churchill, in assuming all blame
in withdrawal of the Allied troops
from central and southern Nor
way, stemmed the temporary tide
of disfavor and won majority
confidence vote.
Churchill, in assuming response
bility for the Norwegian campaign,
in his dramatic speech, said there
were $4,000 Allied troops in Norway
at the time of the withdrawal and
they were facing 10000 Germans
1T was question of whether
to withdraw them or leave them
to be destroyed" said Churchill.
Churchill also bore out Cham
berlain's statement made last week
on Thursday, that German air SUI
periority had made the Trondheim
position untenable.
Air Force Superiority
At the opening of his speech,
Churchill said: I'm this war we
are frequently asked why we do
not take the initiative The reason
for this serious disadvantage OF
our not having the initiative is one
which cannot be removed speedily.
1t was our failure in the last five
years to MAINTAIN or regain air
parity with Germany. This is an
old story and it is long story"
Churchill said that there was no
use talking about this war in terms
of the last war. He said air power
had greatly affected warfare. He
added that in some ways air power
had deciSively affected the move
ments of fleets and armies. Said he:
I'VE must not exaggerate this new
factor, but neither must we refuse
to give it its deadly due"
