GERMAN REARMAMENT

GRAVE VIEW TAKEN BY BRITAIN RETALIATION MAY BE NECESSARY TENSE DEBATE IN THE COMMONS By Telegraph—Press Assn.—CapyrisMLondon, November 28. q’HE atmosphere in the house of Commons has seldom been so tense as it was to-day during the debate on German rearming. The House was packed from the moment Mr., Winston Churchill rose until the conclusion of Mr. Lloyd Georges speech three and a half hours later. The House was hushed as Mr. Stanley Baldwin made his disclosures. There was not a single interjection or an Opposition attempt at a controversy during Mr. Baldwin’s slow and solemn statement. His concluding remarks were regarded as a grave warning to Germany, though not an ultimatum, that Britain will take even more drastic rearmament steps than at present contemplated if Germany continued to violate her obligations.
