one can see exactly where the gov
ernment stands and how far we
can count upon the loyalty Of the
House.
I say this for the guidance of
those in countries abroad: That no
one voting against the government
will be assaulted with rubber
truncheons or sent to a concentra-
tion camp or otherwise molested.
In their private lives the worst that
could happen to them would be
that they might have to make some
rather laborious explanations to
their constituents.
We have reached into the 21st
month of this war and in some
ways have surpassed the deploy-
ment OF national effort at home,
which was not reached after all
the slaughter until the 48th month
Of the last war.
We cannot rest content with that,
and If Parliament by patriotic and
constructive counsel and without
unduly harassing those who bear
the load can stimulate and acceler-
ate our further advance, the House
Of Commons will be playing its part
unyielding, persevering, indomitable,
in overthrow of another continental
tyranny, as in the olden time.

Ethiopia whom Britain offered to
let Italy return to their homes.
The Prime Minister said British
shipping losses for July, August,
September and OCTOBER totaled LESS
than three-quarters of a million
TONS" compared with a total Of
two million tons lost during March,
April, May and June
He declared he was unable to
give figures on the building of new
ships, but that the net loss had been
reduced in the past four months to a
great deal less than one-flfth Of
what it was in the previous four
months.
That has been DONE" he added,
Sin spite of the fact that there never
were more U-boats or more long
range aircraft working than there
are now
The reduction in losses, he went
on, gives solid and sober assurance
that we shall be able to maintain
our seaborne traffic until the great
American ship-building. promised
for 1912, comes into service"
Grain Harvest Better.
He added that the United States
was building merchant ships on a
scale many times what we are able
to do in this island" and said that
If we are able to get through this
year we shall certainly find ourselves
with good supply of ships in 1912.
He said Britains grain harvest
this year had been so per cent
greater than in 1899 and added that
other crops were good"
He declared coal stocks in Britain
were between two and three million
tons larger than a year ago.
I'VE shall be able to come through
the winter with coal all right with
out withdrawing essential men from
the forces"

the Firms shall, over and above their
necessary defense requirements, fur

Germans in their efforts to blockade
the shipment of American and Brit
ish supplies to Russia through such
ports as Murmansk and Archangel.

ton given the Finnish Minister last
August that Russia was willing to

cause of free nations everywhere.
Finn Contribution Important.
Many Americans, Mr.. Hull said,
have not realized the extremely i'm
portant and effective contribution
the Finnish forces are making to
Hitlers cause by participation In
the general war, and the conse-
quent damaging effects their aid to
Germany has on those nations re-
sisting Nazi aggression.
He added that German propa-
ganda in this country has largely
obscured this matter Of vital con-
Germ to American security, remark
ing pointedly that this German
propaganda reaches the United
States before the most rapid news
flashes from Finland itself.
Declaring that the Finnish posi-
ton is not question Of words but of
issues. the Secretary said it ap-
peared to him that the issue was put
most clearly in a press report from
Berlin last night which quoted Ger
man military spokesmen as credit
ing Finnish advances east of Lenin-
grad with helping to cut the Rus
sian armies of from their northern
ports.

viously that the real issue is whether

forth on an indictment OF the de-
fense housing program and Defense
Housing Co-ordinator c. F. Palmer.
THE remedy for wasteful, ineffl-
cient or unnecessary housing agen-
cies is to save space in Washington
by abolisfing them" Mr.. Straus de-
clared. mot to save space by putting
them somewhere else"
Not only is this overcrowding con-
tributing to the overcrowding Of
Washington, Mr.. Strauss continued,
but also to the dangerous over
crowding of our defense areas" He
attributed this to "the breakdown of
the defense housing program-a
breakdown that could have been
avoided by a more sensible organiza-
ton of defense housing activities, a
breakdown that can now be cor
rected by the elimination Of waste,
duplication, overlapping and COM
petition. by orderly treatment Of
the whole problem-through single
trained and competent agency"
Failed to Decentralize.
Mr.. Straus said there are II "du-
plicating and competing defense
housing agencies creating a space
problem in Washington, because
except for the U. S. H. A. they have
not decentralized in the true sense
of utilizing local public authorities. ."
They represent highly central
Eod-
eral effort to dictate the solution
of local housing problems from
Washington" he declared, and
added that this is producing dis
content and dissatisfaction in hum
dred of local communities" and
lowering the morale" of the people
as we'll as holding up to disdain
and ridicule a significant part of
our Governments defense efforts" ."
Unless remedied." Mr.. Straus
said, the situation. represents "a
colossal threat to our national safety
and security"
In urging placement OF the whole
housing program under U. S. H. A.,
Mr.. Straus said that almost half OF
the publicly constructed defense
housing units now actually occupied
were built under that agency's pro-
gram. although U. S. H. A. is only
one of the eight agencies contend
ing" He offered this as testimony
that U. S. H. A. is defense
agency"
Testifies Again Tomorrow.
Mr.. Straus charged Mr.. Palmer
with being deaf to my entreaties"
that private industry was incapable
of handling large part of the
defense housing job, describing him
as having listened to the siren song
of the Spectators"

common people swear by Mr..
Churchill, "even though they swear
at his government"
In one Of the speeches following
the Kings address Sir Percy Harris,
Liberal, said THE Prime Minister
has the complete confidence of the
country. His stock never was high
err"
Richard A. Pilkington, National
Conservative, said some criticism of
the government had personal en-
nifty and sour bitterness" and Lord
Birdwood proposed in the House of
Lords that military decisions be left
to competent authorities.
Must Prepare for Spring.
Mr.. Churchill asserted the de-
struction Of Axis shipping is pro-
ceeding with greater violence than
before"
Nevertheless he warned that Brit
ain must have everything ready for
the good weather of spring so that
we can meet and check" any such
attempt.
In the Mediterranean" he said,
the enemy's losses have been par
ticularly severe. There is evidence
he has found it very difficult to
reinforce or even supply his armies
on African shores"
Earlier he said British merchant
shipping losses we're cut from a
00000-ton monthly average for four
months ended in June to 10000 tons
per month in the four-month period
ended in October.
He declared the last Axis convoy
sunk in the Mediterranean was
particularly valuable one, and its
total destruction, together with the
devastation wrought by our sub
marines. would certainly be some
thing very much to rejoice over"
Expectations Surpassed.
Because Of the British destruction
OF Axis shipping, Mr. Churchill said,
the Italian government has not been
able to send ships yet to remove
10000 Italian non -combatants in
