WEEK'S CLIMAX.
IN GREATEST CRISIS. Strong Criticism Of Rising Of Parliament. LORD LLOYD AMAZED. I'nileil I'rrss Association.—Copyright. (Received 12 noon.) LONDON, July 28. As a climax to a week's criticism of Parliament's rising on August 4, Lord Lloyd, in the House of Jxirds, said: "1 am amazed that in the greatest crisis in history, which is no exaggeration, Parliament should quietly disperse. "Something might break out in Poland any day, instigating disturbances similar to those over Sudetenland. It would require two or three days to summon Parliament, but everyone knows what might happen in Europe in a few hours."' Earl Stanhope, for the Government, replied that to keep Parliament in session "would encourage the dictators to believe that everything they said and did was so important that we must always lie on tiptoe."'
