Churchill May Raise Issue After Elections

CONFIDENT FORECAST

Strasbourg, August 13.

Mr. Winston Churchill or another Conservative member of the British dologa- tion is expected to raise the question of inviting Western Germany to join the Council of Europe after this week-end's German elections. Most observers believe that the establishment of a free 'government ought to permit Germany to be included in the Assembly by the next session providing everything goes well inside Germany, itself.

Europe in Strasbourg this week have shown that: Europe's first "parliament" does not intend to be a pawn in the hands of its foreign ministers. Viewed by British parliamentary standards, this

Assembly was always intended to be a parlia- ment, "with a difference." The difference is a vital one."
