Special Session Of Parliament Opens Tuesday

London, Sept. 12.-The King, 600 Members of Parliament and hundreds of British Peers, are breaking off their summer vacations to attend the special two weeks' session of Parliament opening on Tuesday, which has been called to allow the Govern- ment to push forward the new Parliament Bill.

International affairs, on which the Foreign Secretary, Mr Ernest Bevin, reported to the Cabinet yesterday, will be the subject of a full statement by Mr Bevin on Wednesday, and a debate on the world outlook is a possibility.

The purpose of the Parliament Bills is, to curtail the House of Lords' powers of delaying legislation from the present two years to one year. But the un- determination to derlying reason is the Government's safeguard the nationalisation of the iron and steel in- in Bri- dustry---now breaking all production records tain's recovery drive-within the lifetime of the presen Parliament, which has less than two years to run.

SAYS CHINA IS GOING LEFT

Shanghai, Sept. 12.-Maj-Gen. Chiang Ching- kuo, son of China's President Chiang Kai-shek, said today that China is going left. "We are in the midst of a social revolution," he told 5,000 wildly cheering members of the Youth Armny. "Our new economic policy is a socialistic revolutionary movement."
