Chamberlain K171 Former War Secretary Give Lead In Move To Submerge Personalities For Concertelfictory Effort.

By J. F. Sanderson Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON, Jan. 18—-(CP CABLE) Britain's biggest political incident oi the war, the resignation of Ileslie Hore-Bellsha as War Secretary, was buried deep in the House of Com- mons today by g “let's all get to- gether to win the war" spirit.

'l‘l:e two main characters ill the drama, Prime Minister Cham- berlain and the man who pract- ically remodelled the British Army gave the lead to all part- ieo En a show of unity and mut- ual detcrmnation to submerge personalities rnd political car- eers in a. concerted effort to win the war.

But the great mystery of why Mr. Chamberlain deposed the dynamic ex-hewspaperman ren-alhs almost as big a mystery as beforeEx-Jlnnations cleared the air to a limited extent but the general public still dceo not know the Prime Mnisters reasons for changing Wor Minister; And those reasons mry not be known for years.

Mr, Hcre-Bellsha in a short and mild-toned :‘.".*ment carefully a- voided making an issue of his oust- er from the War Cabinet. He gave no reasons why he wos askzci to resign and ended with the admcnltcn that the wal- syould compel and unliy the whole effort of the nation.

Prime Minister Speaks

Then the Prime Minter spoke. fie emphasized it was not in the public interest io disclose all reasons in connccron with the ouster, which OCClIXTCd Jan. 5. but said “I h>='i hecomg aware of diff- iculties lnlsilzg out of the very great queries of my right honor- able friend which in my view made

it cleslrlzble that a change shoul occur." ‘ But in a negative sort oi way the Fume Mnister clcnr:d sully some oi’ the mys‘crv.
