The prime minister's statement
arose from prodding by Winston
Churchill who wanted to know
whether MacDonald would make
It clear that "beforo uny Impor
tant decision of policy reversing
tho naval program for the pres
ent year" parliament would be in
formed and given an opportunity
of expressing Its opinion.
Kxorciso Judgment
"Certainly not," replied, tho
prime minister.'
Tho government
will take lust tho ordinary nowors
or a government In that respect. ,
Tho government will exorcise Its
judgment with full knowledgo of I
Its responsibilities to tho houso
and beyond that It Is impossible to
go at the moment.
MacDonnld characterized as "a
most unworthy suggestion" u
question by Churchill whother It
was to be understood that "a most,
gravo and important decision of
this kind Is being withheld until
parliament has separated
Not Playing Iahio Hand

mnlter wus nut In his hand ulone,
"When one Is denting with intor
iiutiontil affairs It is not with n
cabinet or a department that one
Is dealing, but with a very coin
plicated set of clrcutnstunces," he
said, He then made his unnounce-
ment that ho would do his best
to make a statement boforo thtj
house rose. . . '
"I hope the house will not aslt
me to tin my hands," MacOonald
conoluded.
