A motion which has been tabled in the House of Commons by Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Sir John Simon, and Mr. Malcolm Mac Donald will be moved tomorrow, as follows: — That this House approves the policy of his Majesty's Government by which war was averted in the recent crisis, and supports their efforts to secure a lasting peace. (Received October 5, 1 p.m.) LONDON, October 4. Mr. Arthur Greenwood will move a Labour amendment as follows:— The House, while being profoundly relieved that war has been averted for the present, does not approve the policy which led to the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia under threat of armed force, the humiliation of Britain, and its exposure to grave dangers, and, realising the intense desire of all peoples for lasting peace, demands active support of the method of collective security through the League of Nations and the initiation by the Government of immediate proposals for summoning a world conference to consider the removal of economic and political grievances imperilling peace.
