The debate in the. House of Commons on Wednesc121 when

Mr. MacDonald moved a vote of censure on the Government for their mismanagement of the coal dispute, was a profitless raking over of dead bones. The tactics of the Labour Party in trying to censure the Government simultaneously for not acting on the Samuel Report and for not adopting nationalization (which the Samuel Report condemned) was ridienlous on the face of it. The most notable speech was by Mr. Churchill, who showed with phrases that illuminated the scene like lightning how strife in' industry always does and always must cause losses to everybody.
