NEWS IN BRIEF.

American reports state that “The Em-
press of Australia” has been torpedoed and
gunned off Dakar. The Admiralty has
denied this, and states that the vessel is
safe in port and has not been attacked.
DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE ON
SUPPRESSION OF “THE DAILY
WORKER.”
London, Jan. 28th.
The House of Commons to-day dis-
cussed the suppression of the Communist
newspaper “Daily Worker.” A Labour M.
P. stated that in his opinion the Home Se-
cretary had gone too far and that an acti-
on should have been taken against the
paper. The Communist M.P. Mr. Gallag-
her, claimed that this was a test case
whether there were really any liberty of
the press in Great Britain. Mr. Morrison
,thought it best not to wait until the pap-
er had succeeded in decreasing people’s
morale, and said that the paper had sabo-
taged the war effort.
Songs of the time.
Jazz, after all, has its uses, as a corre
spondent’s anecdote points out. The vicar
had employed a man to do some painting
in the church, and found him plying his
brush briskly to the whistled air of a syn-
copated song. “A somewhat—er—secular
melody,” said the vicar hestiatingly.
“Could you not whistle something—er
—slightly more appropriate?” Two hours
later he returned to find the painter
whistling the Old Hundredth, his brush
moving slowly in unison. “Dear me,” he
said thoughtfully, after watching a minute
or two; “there was that other tune. Per-
haps, after all, you might whistle that a-
gain!”
