OF WAR SCENE

و

BRITAIN'S PREPARATIONS for a full-sized war in the Middle East were outlined by Mr. Winston Churchill in the House of Commons yesterday, when he revealed that

the effective strength of the Eastern Mediterranean fleet has been doubled by sending some of our most powerful modern vessels to that area;

that we have been sending a continuous stream of convoyed reinforce- ments to the Middle East,

and that we have every intention of maintaining our position there with the utmost strength and increasing sea-power and control...

t

Mr. Churchill also reiterated Mr. Eden's warning regarding the possibility of an attempted Nazi invasion.

No one, said the Premier, must suppose that the danger of invasion has passed.

However, he added that if the problem of invading Britain was a difficult one

in June, it has become a far

more difficult and larger one- in September.

Raid Warnings

LONDON, Sept. 5 (Reuter). ---Continuing his statement in. the House of Commons to-day, the Prime Minister indiented that arrangements for air raid warnings required very consider- able change.
