British Liberal and Labour Groups Condemn Government

"Shameful Surrender to Threats of Herr Hitler" Denounced; Mr. Eden Wants Strong Stand Now

London, Sept. 22.

MEETING of the Liberal Council yesterday passed a resolution condemning the Government for "initiating, without consulting Parliament, yet another surrender to force, and reversing the policy announced by the Government: fortnight ago, when a firm lead would have preserved peace with honour."

After Mr. C. R. Attlee and Mr. Arthur Greenwood had interviewed Mr. Neville Chamberlain, a joint meeting of Trades Union Congress end Labour Party executives sent a deputation to Lord Later, the meeting issued a manifesto expressing hum-illation at the "shameful surrender to the threats of Herr Hitler."
