GREEN PASS.
CHURCHILL IN HURRY. . LEFT TRAFFIC STREAM. LONDON, January 20. j The Home Office states that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Winston Churchill (who. while motoring to Downing Street, was stopped by a police man for taking a wrong turning), was not guilty of a breach of the new traffic regulations, as he showed the constable the green pass issued to all Ministers to facilitate uninterrupted passage; but in view of experiments in regulating the traffic the Home Office is considering whether privileged holders of passes should be permitted to contravene the regulations. The motoring rank and file point out that Mr. Churchill's urgent appointment at the Treasury did not justify his action, a- be would have lost only a f-~>w seconds by following the stream of traffic circling Parliament Square in obedience to the regulations. It is useless to attempt to remedy the traffic chaos, motorists declare, unless the new rules are rigidly applied to everybody.
