EUROPEAN ARMY
CHURCHILL’S PLAN HELD OVER (Rec. 10.20 a.m.) PARIS, Aug. 16. British Labour and Scandinavian representatives to the Council of Europe at Strasbourg to-day revolted successfully against a proposal to discuss Mr Winston Churchill’s call for a European army. They contended that the discussion of defence was contrary to the council’s statute. Mr Churchill’s son-in-law, Mr Duncan Sandys, withdrew a 20-point plan he had submitted only 24 hours earlier for putting Mr Churchill’s idea into operation, and a sub-committee .was appointed to draw up a fresh compromise text for submission to the full committee to-morrow.—Reuter. .
