THE WAR SITUATION
MR CHURCHILL’S REVIEW EARLY STATEMENT EXPECTED 'British Official Wireless' RUGBY, Od. 6. When Parliament reassembles Mr Churchill is expected to take the earliest opportunity to review the war situation. Political observers expect that he will make a frank statement on the Dakar expedition and at the same time deal with the situation, both military and civil. After the last four weeks of the air blitzkrieg over London members of the House of Commons are likely to raise the whole question of comfort for and protection of the civilian population during the coming winter. Parliament, which is expected to resume its regular sitting on two or three davs a week, will have to pass an Act prolonging its own life. From the point of view of customary procedure it may not be found necessary to go through the formalities of opening the new session this autumn. As there cannot be a legislative programme on normal lines such as is usually outlined at the beginning of a new session, there seems no reason why the present session should not be carried on from week to week to deal with problems as they arise.
