“CHAMBERLAIN MUST GO”

London Demonstration THOUSANDS MARCH TO ITALIAN EMBASSY (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.) (Received February 28, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, February 27. Three meetings in Trafalgar square contributed to the 10,000 people who marched to the Italian Embassy, accompanied by bands, singing the “Internationale” and shouting, “Chamberlain must go.” The police permitted two men to approach with a letter to Signor Mussolini, conveying a resolution disapproving of Mr Chamberlain’s “surrender to Italian threats,” and condemning Italian intervention in Spain. The letter was pushed under the door, because the doorbell was not answered.

Another resolution demanded the Government’s resignation. Two thousand attended a Hyde Park demonstration organised by the Co-operative Society, which passed a resolution protesting against Mr Chamberlain’s foreign policy, and demanding a general election. A Labour member of the House of Commons, Mr A. Barnes, declared that Lady Chamberlain, widow of Sir Austen Chamberlain, had superseded the British Ambassador in Rome.
