Presumably Mr. Hore-Belisha, who asked for the debate, will speak

at an early stage, and Mr. Lloyd George will probably ' take part on the second day. There are rumours that other voices may be heard, which have so far kept a dignified silence. Among the Government speakers Mr. Eden and the Prime Minister are certain to intervene, but who else is there? If the debate is to touch on Cabinet organisation, war-production, shipping and propaganda, who is the right Minister to reply? Few speakers will question the obligation to send troops to Greece, in spite of the terms of the resolution. What then is worrying Members and why is there uneasiness? Unless a faithful answer to this question can be found, the debate will not have achieved its purpose.
