Laber May Claim Opposition
Head in New British
Parliament
It SECOND IN STRENGTH
By Altertattd Prttl
Londen, Nev. 17. Several of th
ewspnpers derlv'! snlMnotlen from the
fact that the Conservative majority In
tie new Parliament 1 net overwhelm
ingly large, thtiR enabling the opposition
te xerrise n wholesome check upon the
Jredemlnnnt party.
The future of the Laber Party In
Parliament is a matter of special Inter
est. Being the second largest party in
the Heuse, it should, according te Par
llamntiiry tradition, become the official
apposition, and it Is expected it will
claim for Its charman the pest of leader
f what I.-t sometimes facetiously called
Hls Majesty's opposition." This,
fcewevcr, may be disputed, because Mr.
Lloyd Geerge, as the outgoing Premier,
has some claim te the position.

They recognize that the outcome ; Aft .r trying In vain te wash th. murks

and the disappearance of all they most
disliked in the survival of the coalition
long after they regarded Its dissolution
as due.
"We are rid." says the Westminster
Gazette, "of the compromises and
ansterfuces which have made Parlia
ment contemptible," while the Daily
Kews declares the election "has blown
a breath of clean air into our discredited
f-arllamcmurv institutions," and re
joices nt the etablihment of "a

The Dally Herald, exulting ever

eays: "If meantime we play our cards
boldly ami skillfully we ought te have

The Tinier regards the result with
4ecp satisfaction nnd says It demolishes
the lust argument for maintenance of
the coalition. The newspaper would
have preferred that the balance be held
mere evenly between the Liberal and
Laborites, but believes the country Ims
nothing te fe.'ir and much te g.iln from

First Communist Elected
Fer the first time in the history of the
British Parliament a candidate stand

These who expected Mr. Churchill's
defeat little expected Scrymgeeur's vic

was attentive te ether women and said
she did net think the men who at

"I knew one of the men," said Mrs.
Usher. She refused te reveal the
name, but said he was from Waynes
boro. Pa. The enlv clue te Fisher's
assailants were furnished by persons
who saw the kidnapping. They said both
machines were large, dark-colored cars
and bore Pennsylvania license tags and
that the man at the driver's seat in the
first car wa tall and dark.
