THE LABOUR PARTY.
A SPLIT IN BRITAIN. ATTITUDE TO RE-ARMAMENT. LEADER IN THE MINORITY. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Gopyrlynt. LONDON, July 22. The decision of the Parliamentary Labour Party, in view of the international situation, not to vote against the Defence Estimates, followed a heated discussion, at the close of which a serious split in the party was revealed by the vote of 45 to 39. The minority included Major C. R. Attlee, leader of the party, and Messrs. Arthur Greenwood and H. S. Morrison, who favoured voting against the Estimates. One member told Major Attlee that if the Labour Party voted against rearmament it would take 10 years to live it down.
