Norman Refers Canadian Min- tmr of mt onal Defence, who is planning to sail soon for home alter an extended visit to the Unit-ed Kingdom and France, said today that he will carry with him " cap consciousness" or the - lied determination "to the war until victory and in peace have been secured." Ml". Rogers told newcpapermen that all he had seen and heard had made him more confident than ever of the ultimate outcome or the struggle. He intimated that he was taking back with him the fullest possible information for Ottomva orl the exact situation of the war in len- eral. and of the progress of Can- ada's lst Division and the Royal Canadian Air Force's first over- seas squadron. Visited Western lront Mr. Rogers, in addition to im-J portant conversations with the Allies governmental and military leaders. went to the western front. and in England reviewed the training programs of the Cana- dians overseas. The Canadian Defence Minister, who was himself a soldier in the last war. said he could disclose no decisions. He indicated his prin- cipal role had been to gather facts and views, and decisions are o. mat- ter for the Dominion Government. He remarked that in the main he had been carrying out [he m- vice Polonius gives in Hamlet: "Give every man thine ear but few thv voice." M1".

He met General Viscount Gcrt and other British staff of- ficers at general headquarters in the field. "The visit has made me more confident than ever of the final outfwme of the struggle on which we are launched." he said. "Britain and France are equip- ping their forces with the best money can buy." He Srlld that “one urpose of the trip was to see tie conditions ulldcr which the Canadian troops may operate in the future. I have berm reassured in this regard." But he did not indicate whether this meant they were destined for the western front. On this point he said during his stay in Eng- land that "Canadian troops have always served where they could make the greatest contribution." [Italy's Plans Concerning War Remain Vague ROME. May 8 —(AP) —Fascist reports today described Italy's attitude toward the war as one of "pre-beiligerency" rather than "non-belllgerency." giving emphasis to Pope Pius‘ newly expressed fears that the "fire of war" threatens to invade other nations. The new statement of Italian polio was made in a report on the inter or ministry's budiget by Sena- tor Maurizio Maravigl a, an out- standing pro-Ally influence in the last war, He said the term non-belliger- ency adequately described Italy's legal stutus, but that the Italian state of mind might more ep- pl-opriately be considered u l. "position of pre-beliigerenoy," in that Italy is “not, disposed to buy the benefits of peace at the price of even the least sacrifice of its aspirations." Pope Pius revealed earlier that he shares widespread fears that the war will spread to other countries. He told an audience of 4.000 pil- grims of many nationalities that "a world poisoned with lies and dis- loyalty has lost the spiritual health of peace." The Pontiff said tihe "earth should be a place of concord but instead, the ine of war has broken out in various nations and is Jhreatcaing to invade others." Chinese Shooting Victim Buried SHAUNAVON.

When the result of the vote was announced Labor members cheered yubiluntly and e small group o hem sang a few ban of "Rule Brit- ann o." The Press Association said tonight that "no immediate resignations or other dramatic developments are expected . ..it seems probable that Mr. Chamberlain will now reconsid- er the position in the light of the criticisms that have been made and the general feeling of the House." Vote Against Government Amon government supporters who vo ed against the government were v Astor. two former first lords of the admiralty. Alfred Duff Cooper and L. C. M. S. Amery. Earl Wlnt/erton, Viscount Wolmer. R. J. Boothby, General Edward Spears, Leslie Horc-Bellsha, former war sco- retary, Harold Nicholson. Harold MacMillan, Quintin H0122 and Ad- miral Keyes. Among the Independ- ents, Clement Davis east ills vote a- gainst, the government. Accepting "full responsibil- ity" for the Admiralty's decision not to attempt lo force Trond- heim Fjord, Mr. Churehillsaid Britain had 12.000 troops foc- ing 120.000 Germans and had the choice of getting them out of Norway. or "leaving them to be destroyed." Britain's surface navy would have invited losses amounting to “dis- aster" from the German sir fleet. he said, had an attempt been made to cut German communica- _tions to Norway ln the Skagerzak. inferiority In Planes Moreover. he warned.

Sir John Simon, for his especial attack, Mr. Morrison said that if his inner circle oi ministers stays in office “we run a. grave risk of losing the war." There were opposition chee s. Vigorous Comeback Mr. Chamberlain, with his vigor- ous comeback, was also cheered. “This is a time of national dan- ger." he told Mr. Morrison. “We are facing a relentless enemy who must be fought by the united action of this country. "What the right honorable gentleman has said . . makes it graver still. . . . - “None of us desire to hold onto office for a moment longer than we retain the confidence of this House. “I do not seek to evade criticism but I say to my friends in the House-and I have friends in the House-no Government call pro- , has a public and parliamanzary support." Before the debate ended the op- position gained the open support of Alfred Duff Cooper, First Lord of the Admially, iol" some time a. Conservative Rebel. He said he would vote azalnst the Government because this was no time for “any man to wash his hands. like Pontius Pilate. and difficulty and suffering and dan- ser which we must endure with firmness until more favorable con- ditions can he established -as they assuredly will be." At no time in the last wet", he declared ominously, was Britain in as great peril as today. Reassurinzly, he said British forc- es now had the Narvik airport. and that. “we now fight for Nar- vik." Germany's air preponderance must. be given "ts, deadly due." he solemnly declared. as a result of Britain's failure to keep up in the last five years. He stzesscd the perils of naval occupations in waters teeming with submarines and destroyers each with its "bouquet of torpedoes" and dominated by German aircraft op- erating from nearby bases. Earlier the tense drama had seen the sudden decision of the Labor party to follow the debate with a motion amounting to a ques- tion of confidence which would force Mr. Chamberlain to resign if he lost. Bitter Words Stung ‘by the bitter words of Her- bert Morrison. Labor Leader. Mr. Chamberlain crumpled his notes in his pocket and sprang from his seat to cry: "I accept the challenge, I welcome it. indeed! at least we shall see who is with us and who is against us. I call on my friends to support us in the lobby tonight!" The vote contrasted with the Government's 292-129 victory on the first of five wartime motions of censure. That was on the ques- tion of restricting the sale of Pales- tine land to Jews, however. and did not represent in any way the test of today's ballot. Mr. Churchill's speech by its very mildness and frankness dis- armed the opposition which had expected thundering blows. He made no attempt to minimize the British defeat. Lloyd George Ilito Bord David Lloyd George. hitting u vigorously as of old, supported the Labor motion. Mr. Lloyd George brought his prestige in Parliament as prime minister in the last war to bear upon Mr. Chasnberlain by declar- ing the greatest contribut on Mr. Chamberlain could make to e war effort would be to "sacrifice his seals of office." Warning that the nation stands tn “greater jeopardy" than tn the last war. Mr. Lloyd George crled:-- "The Prime Minister has met fllis formidable foe -Hitler— in peace and l"n war. He has always been worsted! “Everything that has been done has been half-hearted, ineffective, without drive and unintelligent. "Britain's promissory‘ notes now rubbish in the market!" Conservatives plucked in the strep Government bmchcs behind the Cabinet mutt-cred, "shame! shame!" Mr. Churchill got. 11p in all effort to stem the tide of Mr. Lloyd George's opposition. but the veteran shouted him dotvnz- "I hope he tMr. Churchiili will not allow himself to be. converted into an air-raid shelter to keep the splinters from. hitting ills col- leagues!"
