HOUSE OF COMMONS
CENSURE MOTION DEFEATED [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, June 24. In the House of Commons, the Opposition speakers moved a vote of censure on the Government, which they based on the continuance of the high rate of unemployment. They alleged that the tariff policy was calculated to maintain the unemployment. Sir Henry Betterton, replying to the debate, said that he had never heard a motion of censure so hollow and so unreal. He said the production of the country was increasing, after a decline in 1931, and now had recovered the whole of the- ground lost last year. Whereas the unemployment had increased under Labour, it had decreased under the National Government, which was now providing one hundred millions a year for the relief of unemployment. The censure motion was defeated by 446 votes to 47.
