London, Dec. 2rd.—By the substantial majority of 192 the House of Commons decided against the proposition to Hoat premium bonds in crder that the Gavern- ment mignt raise needed money. Judg- ing from the cheering that greeted the announcement of the figures, the decis- -lon of the Chamber was a popular one. Public opinion, aided by the Avrchbishop of Canterbury. and other prominent churchmen and finaneciers, had express- ed itself forcibly during the past two years against the bornds, and evidently converied maoy of the publie, hither- to at least sympathetic with a lottery bond issue. Mr. Austen Chamberiain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the course ol a speech on the question in the House, confessed that his former advecac: of the bonds was the re- sult of insuficient study of the subject.
