VIGOUR OF OPPOSITION
CONSERVATIVES DIVIDED LONDON, Nov. 22
Mr Churchill attended a meeting of Conservative members of the House of Commons and discussed whether the Opposition was attacking the Government sufficiently fiercely and wholeheartedly, says the Press Association’s political correspondent. The correspondent adds that it ivas rumoured that Mr Churchill’s leadership might be, assailed. The meeting was divided into - two groups—those who declared that the Opposition required more virility and ginger, and the old campaigners who favoured farsighted policies instead of an immediate “rbugh and tumble.” ,It is believed that there were .crisp exchanges during\the meeting, as when the critics were told that, if they could not .be taught sense, they should at least be taught manners. Mr Churchill gave full arid forceful answers to the critics. The' storm, which was really ' never more than a lqcalised shower, subsided completely.
