ATTACK ON PREMIER. MR BALDWIN ASPERSED. MR CHURCHILL’S STRICTURES. LONDON, May 6. In the House of Commons Mr Winston cnurcnm declared that Britain had encountered great disaster in all her interests throughout the world.

This assumption of all power by one man and failure to face the realities in the House of Commons, had already injured Britain’s affairs and must, if continued, produce demoralisation.
