CHURCHLL LAUDS - | UL S.VOTE SYSTEM Declares Elections Here Do Mot Endanger Safety of Nation. By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 15—The Express yesterday printed an interview with ‘Winston Churchill, at his country home in Westernham, in’ which the chancellor of the exohequer expresses the opinion that they order it better in America in the matter of government and elections than do the British. Replying to & question about the com- unenl election, Mr. Churchill said: is in the lap of the gods, or perhlps we should more properly say in the lap of the goddesses. (Re- !errlng to the hitherto untried “flapper vote.” It is Impoulhle to foresee what 1s going to happe: “There has never been such a situa- tion in the history of the country. It is not like the old elections, when we had time to examine the constituencies and see what they were doing and then decide whether to moderate or mitigate our tactics. Now all goes on the one stroke. We wake ur early one morning to find a peaceful country suddenly plunged into a series of convulsions, the outcome of which nobody can dare foresee. * * “These thlngs do not happen in the United Btltes. ‘They do not permit such a situation as this to exist. They insure under their political system that the certainty of the existence of a strong Government shall be safeguarded. In our constitution there is nothing to protect us tn this way.” LEAGUE WILL HONOR MAJ. GEN. NEVILLE Tane and Fuller Also Will Be Guests of Detachment, Tonight. Maj. Gen. Wendell C.
