HOPES FOR PEACE
TRIBUTE TO THE PREMIER
(British Official Wireless.!
(Received September 30, noon.) RUGBY, September 29. When the House of Lords met this afternoon Lord Stanhope observed that they would not desire to have a debate on international affairs in view of the new circumstances. "I am quite sure, speaking on behalf of all the house," he said, "I can say with what earnest hopes and prayers we trust that, under the guidance of Almighty God, those four statesmen who at this very moment are meeting
in Munich may bo guided to a settlement which will be just and lasting in its effects, and that our own Prime Minister, who made such tremendous and unceasing efforts to preserve peace, may have those efforts crowned with success." Lord Snell, for the Labour Peers, and the Marquess of Crewe, the Liberal leader, agreed that any debate would be out of place. The House adjourned until Monday.
