Earlier Recall Sought
LONDON, August 13 (Rec. 11 a.m.).—-The Prime Minister, Mr Attlee, has agreed to discuss with Mr Churchill a request for the earlier recall of Parliament than September 12 to debate defence. Mr Churchill, in a letter to Mr Attlee, suggested recall “in a week or ten days,” as he considered that September 12—the date fixed by Mr Attlee—“altogether too remote and bearing no relation to the crisis and the new facts which are before us.” Mr Attlee’s letter, in reply, suggested that Mr Churchill should see him “to explain why you think this necessary.” Mr Attlee added that he would then be glad to consider what Mr Churchill had to say. The Liberal leader, Mr Clement Davies, also wrote to Mr Attlee supporting Mr Churchill’s request.
