LABOUR PARTY ATTITUDE UNITY IN BRITAIN (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Aug. 25. In the House of Lords, where the Foreign Secretary, Viscount Halifax, yesterday made a statement on similar lines to that of the Prime Minister, Mr Neville Chamberlain, in the House of Commons, Lord Snell said that as far as the Labour Party was concerned, no words would be used which would give any sort of comfort to those who were hoping to see in England a disunited people. When danger threatened, lie said, the British people stood together as one.
The issue at stake in Europe was whether freedom, built up by years of trial and effort and suffering, should be preserved.
