LunuUW. June a Uf Prime
Minister Chuirnill warned the
house of commons today to guard
against "over optimism" Iff the
battle of Europe and against the
idea that these things are going
to be settled in a rush."
"Although great dangers lie
behind," he declared, "enormous
exertions lie betore us."
The stream of news from in
vasion reporters temporarily de
prived the stocky premier, once
a journalist hi mseli, or -one.nl thai
roles he likes best tnat of being
able to give a first hand account
of major developments and he
said he did not plan to make any
statement on the invasion battles
during the day "unless something
exceptional turns up."
- The prime minister added that
all points which occurred to him
in connection with the campaign
had been fully covered "in ' the
excellent reports by our "able
press." -
"If this is the last time I speak
to the house before tne week
end," he said, "I earnestly hope
that when the members go to
their constituencies they will not
only maintain morale so far as
that is necessary but will also
give strong warnings against
over optimism.
Churchill was asked by Sir
Joseph Lamb, conservative, for
an assurance "that the reason he
is not going to make a statement
in the near future is not that he
is going to make a visit to the
coast of tTance."
There was no reply.

great as In normal bombard

but a blast from these weapons
