DEFENCE OF BRITAIN
MR. CHURCHILL'S VIEW
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF NOT
NEEDED
(Received July 5, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, July 4.
Mr. Churchill, in the House of Commons, rejected a suggestion that a Commander-in-Chief should be appointed for the efficient co-ordination of all military and civil departments concerned with the defence of Britain. He added that a closely-knit, elaborate organisation already existed to ensure the effective concert of the whole home defence apparatus. It would be a great mistake at present to liquidate or remould this organisation.
