IF NAZIS SURRENDER
(Received August 3, 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, August. 3. Mr. Churchill’s speech in the House of Commons was somewhat delayed by a debate on the Government’s proposal that the House should adjourn for seven weeks. Mr. Shinwell, supported by other Labour members and several Independents and Conservatives, opposed the proposal, giving as their reason that many important tasks still awaited the House and that important, development might occur during the vacation. The Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eden, replying, said that should it happen that unconditional surrender of the enemy should come during the .recess. Parliament would at once be recalled. But he thought that in a matter affecting the reassembly, the Government must be left, with certain measures of discretion.
The House approved the motion for th adjourn ment.
