ELECTION ON JUNE 13
INTEREST GROWS IN BRITAIN PARLIAMENT’S FIFTH YEAR British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Tuesday. The date of the General Election, which must take place this year, as Parliament has entered the fifth and last year of its allotted span, is now a subject of general interest. The new register, with its addition of some 5,000,000 women to the electorate comes into force on May 1, and it is anticipated that Parliament will be dissolved as soon after that date as possible. The Budget has to be passed, and if the exigencies of other Parliamentary business permit, it is hoped in Government circles that the dissolution may take place in the latter part of May. Friday, May 24, is actually spoken of as a suitable date. If this date were chosen the General Election could take place on June 13. The “Daily Mail” says the Government intends to secure a dissolution of Parliament in the last week in May or as early as possible thereafter.
