WAR SITUATION
No Statement By Churchill At Present (British Official Wireless.) (Received July 31, 7 p,m.) RUGBY, July 30.
At the next series of sittings the House of Commons will debate colonial affairs. Adjournment for the recess will be moved on the third sitting day. Sir Stafford Cripps stated today that Mr. Churchill's view was that he could not make any useful statement on the war situation at present. What might develop before the motion for adjournment was moved it was impossible to say. If the Government considered that there was any urgent necessity to do so, the House could be recalled. Nor did the Government believe that there was justification for another
secret session just now. Whatever the ’ Government’s military intentions might be, it was impossible to state them even in secret session. This was a matter of such gravity and such risks to so many that it was impossible to commit it to 615 separate people.
