RECESS DURING GREAT CRISIS
Criticism Of Proposal For Parliament
OPINIONS IN LORDS AT VARIANCE
By Telegraph.-—Press Assn. —Copyright LONDON. July 28.
Bringing to a climax weeks of criticism of the proposal that Parliament should rise on August 4, Lord Lloyd, speaking in the Mouse of Lords, said: “I am amazed that in the greatest crisis in history —that is no exaggeration— Parliament should quietly disperse. Something might break out in Poland any day instigating disturbances similar to that in the Sudetenland. It would require two or three days to summon Parliament,, but everyone knows what might happen in Europe in a lew hours.'’ Lord Stanhope, First Lord of the Admiralty, replied that to keep Parliament in session would encourage the dictators to believe that everything they said or did was so important that: Britain must always be on tiptoe.
