DAKAR AFFAIR
+ STATEMENT EXPECTED FROM MR CHURCHILL REVIEW OF GENERAL WAR SITUATION. EXTENSION OF THE LIFE OF PARLIAMENT. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, October G. 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 also deal with the situation, both military and civil after four weeks of the air blitzkrieg over London. Members of the House, of Commons are likely to raise the whole question of the comfort and protection of the civilian population during the coming winter in the latter part of the statement. Parliament, which is expected to resume regular sitting on two or three days 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 a 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 to be no reason why the present session should not be carried on from week to week to deal with problems as they arise.
