SHOULD RESIGN.

PREMIER'S POSITION. "Chamberlain Must G.ol" Shout London Crowds. LABOUR LEADER'S VIEW. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 12.a0 p.m.) LONDON, March 20. Mr. Herbert Morrison, chairman of the Labour party's national campaign, declared that Mr. Chamberlain must perceive that the country, and a growing number of members of Parliament are against him. The honourable course, said M*r. Morrison, was to resign in favour of a Prime Minister more fully corresponding with the nation's outlook.

Britons did not desire continuance of the present nightmare but wanted to organise peace.

Twenty thousand people assembled in Trafalgar Square to protest against the bombing in Spain and the British Government's refusal to grant arms to the Loyalists. Thousands marched to Bermondsey shouting: "Chamberlain must go!" Madame Tabouis, the well-known French writer, in an article in the "Sunday Referee," declares that she is informed from a semi-official quarter that Signor Mussolini sent a message to Herr Hitler that the time had come to finish off Spain and start on Czechoslovakia. "NO ADVICE GIVEN. ,, Canada's Attitude to Britain's Foreign Policy. NEWSPAPER POLL. (Received 10.30 a.m.) OTTAWA, March 20. "Canada was not requested by London to express an opinion on her foreign policy, and no advice was given," stated the Prime Minister, Mr. Mackenzie King. The newspapers are urging war caution. In the "Toronto Telegraph" poll, "Do you want Britain to go to war?" 81 "noes" were recorded against 10 "ayes." Mr. M. F. Hepburn, Premier of Ontario, stated that Britain was not now fully prepared to go to war and it would be foolhardy and unjustified to do so. Canada would want to know the circumstances before public opinion would support Britain in a war.
