Labor Part^ Says If Prime Min ister and Advisers Stay In Of- fiee» **We Run A Grave Risk of Losing Tlite War.” liondcm, May 8.—His majesty’s Labor opposition formally asked the house of commons today to oust the * Chamberlain government, and the i»ime minister sprang to his feet to declare that he welcomed the challenge. Herbert Morrison, vigorous labor ^ader who is virtual czar of Lon don’s municipal government, intro-j Presbyt^an college annual. Here duced the vote of non-confidence at I seven beauties selected by McClellan The Presbyterian college yearbook. The PaC-SaC, wiU be ilMdy for dis tribution to studmts today if plans for delivery materialize, H was an-j nounced by kHlton Norton, editor, j Several changes have been incorp orated in the book, Norton stated. Pertiaps the most outstanding new feature of the annual, composed of 176 pages, is the pag^^t of beauty which appears lor Oie first time in a the end of a bitter q;>eech in which he declared that if Chamberlain and his principal advisers stayed in of- fiM “we run a grave risk of losing this war.” Rising quickly, the prime minister declared he and his colleagues “will not be slow to accept their respoh- sibUity.” The vote will come at the end of debate tonight, int>bab]y about 11:80 p. m., (5:80 p. m., EST). . ' The government will seek to turn . the vote into a motion ci confidence. r shall see who is wi^ us and who is against us,** Chmnberlain cried. “No government can prose cute the war efficiently unless it has public and parliamentary support.” Morrison especially dentanded the ouster dr Chanbert^, Air Minister Sir Sanmel Hoare and Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir John Simon. He charged too, that the prime minister was putting Wins ton Churchilli first lin'd of the admiralty, “in a shop window” and using him lor a “shield.” “I feel with all genuiness that if these men (Chamberlain, Hoare and Simon) and others remain in office, we run a grave risk of los ing the war,” said Morrison. Chamberiam, almost springing to a position at the d^patch box in front jot file government bench, shouted: “This is a time'of national danger. We are facing a relentless enemy who must be foujght by united action of thik country. “Morrison began his speedh by em- What Morrison has lengh he has thrown out at the^ gov ernment in general and the attack he has made up(m them and uprni me in particular, makes it graver still.” The situation, the prime minister went on, is “grave pot because of any personal ccmsideraQon,” but be cause of the menace of Germany.” “None of us,” he said, “desire to hold onto office for a moment Icmger ' than we retS&i the confidence of this house.” _The prime minister’s intervention was dramatic. He looked up sharp ly, crumpled some notes he had been scribblii^, stuffed them In his pock et and, rising as if he had,been pro pelled by a steel iprifig, acepted the Labor challenge in a few brusque sentences. “It may well be that it is a duty to criticize the government,” he said of Morrison’s declaration. “I do not seek to evade criticism but I say to my friends In the house—and. I have friends in the house—no gov ernment can prosecute a war effi ciently unless it has public and par liamentary support. “I accept the challenge. I welcome it, indeed. At least, we shall see who is with us and who is against tis.” “I call on .'my friends to support us in the lobby tonltd^fT’ Cheers rippled throuf^ the vault like house as he took his seat.

No Valedictiny At College This Year Sixty years’ tradition will bow to the commencement exercises at Presbyterian college to be held oa June 3, when no valedictory address will be made and no salutatorian named. The announcement was made By Dean M. W. Brqwn this week. Also, for the first time in the" history of the school, file cumulative average of all four years’ work will be in cluded in the tabulation for highest scholastic honor. Formerly, only the first three and one-half years of work was included in this tabulation. A medkl will be awarded, as usual, to the student making the highest average. Dean Brown stated that the reason for the change was the crowded pro gram which is scheduled for that day. The awarding of military c(»n- missions accounts for the increased length of the ceremony for com mencement exercises. A Tribute To Motherhood We pause along life’s busy way, A just and noble tribute To one, to all of us the best. The choice of Heaven’s treasure chest, Loaned to us that we might see The meaning of true destiny. And through her love and service scan The model Master Builder's i^n. And as we pause, may we reflect On childhood days, the paths we trekked In search of Life, The tender care Unstinted e’en with snow white hair. And ill repaid, with heart aches given For prayers that wafted us to Heaven. Reflecting, may we not relent Poet haste to see a message sent Or better still, if not too late, A present to our mothers take, A soft caress; a promise giving For just a little better living And in small measure to repay Some of our debt this Mother’s Day.
