IN HIS HOME TOWN

MR KIRKWOOD AT DUMBARTON? Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, March 7. Mr D. Kirkwood (Dumbarton), in a remarkable speech at Dumbarton, said that the money of the working classes was not to be wasted on a nincompoop like the Prince of Wales. As their member he did not intend to be suppressed. His interjection in the debate in the House of Commons was pertinent and parliamentary, and ho refused to apologise for that reason. If ever there was an incapable man in the House of Commons it was Mr Austen Chamberlain, who was neither mentally nor physically fit for his job.—A, and N.Z. Cable.

LABOR CHNSURE .MOTION. ' MAY HE WITHDRAWN. LONDON, March 8. (Received March 8, at. 9AO a.m.) Tho political correspondenT of ‘ The 'Times’ says ; “ There is a possibility that the Labor censure motion arising out of Mr .Kirkwood’s suspension may bo withdrawn. Members of all parlies feel that a public discussion should bo avoided, it being realised that it would do little good, and might only increase, the 'nutation which has been aroused. Probably, therefore, before the House meets again informal conversations may have cased the situation.”—‘ The Times.’
