Dec, 21 Mr. Chamberlain has called for a report on the progress of rearmament, after which ho will decide upon his course of action regarding the junior Ministers who threatened to resign unless Mr. Hore-Belisha, Secretary for War, Sir Thomas Inskip and Earl Winterton resigned, says the Daily Mail's political correspondent.
It is learned, the correspondent adds, that several of those originally concerned in the "revolt," who included Mr. I{. S. Hudson, Parliamentary Secretary for Overseas Trade, the Marquess of Duffcrin and Ava, Colonial Under-Secretary, and Lord Strathcona, Under-Secretary at the War Office, capitulated to party pressure.
Mr. Hore-Belisha's audience with the King was routine, but it followed a discussion of his position with Mr. Chamberlain.
