HOSTILE RECEPTION TO MR CHURCHILL.
* (Received 2.30 p.m.) b 1 LONDON, December 7. S J While Mr Churchill was asking j ■ Mr Baldwin questions in the 1 < House of Commons there were i 2 cries of “Shame,” and “Sit down, J J Churchill,” and there were cries J I of “Speech.” a i The hostile reception to Mr | I Churchill was the sole topic in J J the lobbies after Mr Baldwin’s ■ ■ statement. El was recalled jthat ! [ Mr Churchill turned from side to [ * side, as though seeking encour- ■ i agcment, and finally spread ■ out l ■ his hands helplessly and sat j J down. * ■ Members are unable to remem- < 1 her such a rebuff to a public 2 2 figure. The “Manchester Guard- J ■ ian” says it had been claimed ■ I that at least 50 members of Par- i i liament are associated with Mr \ * Churchill. They did not help J ■ him. Mr Baldwin carries all but ■ 1 the merest fraction of the House 2 2 with him. J
