POLITICAL ISSUE

CALL FOR BRITISH MINISTER’S RESIGNATION. MADE BY “DAILY HERALD.” LONDON, September 2. The “Daily Herald” says that Lieu-tenant-Colonel Moore-Brabazon’s resignation from the Government is likely to become an immediate political issue. The matter will certainly be raised in the House of Commons as an urgent public issue when Parliament reassembles. It adds that the Minister made a statement to which Mr Tanner referred in a speech in Manchester. He was speaking at a meeting presided over by Sir Ernest Simon, of Manchester, and attended by two officials of the Amalgamated Engineering Union, one of whom, Mr Blackburn, subsequently sent a letter to Sir Ernest about the Minister’s statement. The letter was passed on to Lieutenant-Colonel Moore-Brabazon, who wrote to Mr Blackburn expressing regret for having made the statement. At the Trades Union Congress, Mr Jack Tanner, president of the Amalgamated Engineering Union, linked the name of Lieutenant-Colonel Moore-Brabazon (Minister of Aircraft. Production) with that of “people in high places” who had, Mi’ Tanner alleged, declared and hoped that the German and Russian armies would exterminate each other and so leave Britain the dominating power in Europe.
