(Received July 29, 10.50 a.m.)
LONDON, July 28. Bringing to a climax weeks of criticism of the proposal that Parliament should rise on August 4, Lord Lloyd, speaking in.the House of Lords, said:
"I am amazed that in the greatest crisis in history—that is no exaggeration—Parliament should quietly disperse. Something might break out in Poland any day instigating disturbances similar to that in the Sudetenland. It would require two or three days to summon Parliament, but everyone knows what might happen in Europe in a few hours." Lord Stanhope, First Lord of the Admiralty, replied that to keep Parliament in session would encourage the dictators to believe that everything they paid or did was so. important [hat Britain must always be on tip-toe.
