“GREATEST CRISIS”
RISING OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT CONDEMNED BY LORD LLOYD. EARL STANHOPE’S REJOINDER. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day, 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, July 28. As a climax to criticism lasting for several week's of Parliament’s rising on August 4, Lord Lloyd, in the House of Lords, said: “I 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 that occurred in the 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 replied that to keep Parliament in session would encourage the dictators to believe that everything they said or did was so important that, we must always be on tiptoe.
