 Melbourne, Australia, Aug. 12- (UP)-Prime Minister Robert G. Menzies today announced parlia- ment for August 20 to consider the Far Eastern situation which he feels endangers Australia.
 John Curtin, leader of the labor party and of the governments op- position, said after a conference with Menzies that the nations safety was at stake.
 He pledfged labor'S support in the defense effort.
 His statement came as the cab inet prepared to go back into emer- gency session after nine-hour meeting last night.
 Curtin ard the heads of the armed forces had been called in by the cabinet for consultation.
 Curtin said: T put it as strongly as possible to every Australian: the safety of this country is at stake we have been at war two years and the scenes are mov- ing ever closer to our territory. Our duty is clear. We must do everything humanly possible to or ganize the fighting forces and dis pose them at the right places. They require the utmost in arma- ments and equipment. The man who is not fighting or training can work. The word work concerns the principles of the big business man as well as the man in overalls."
 Those consulted by the cabinet included Maj. Gen. Vernon A. H. Sturdee, chief of the general staff; {; Brig. Gen. Bertrand CombeS, of the general staff; Sir Charles Burnett, chief of the air staff, and Sir Guy Royle, whom the British admiralty lent for duty on the commonwealth naval board.
 MenZieS gave no reason for the emergency meetings but said the situation in the Pacific was more dangerous than ever before. He said Australia's defenses were sat- insfactroy but that it was impossible to ignore the fact that Singapore was part of Australia's frontier. A meeting of the advisory war council, representing all parties, is scheduled for Thursday.

tremely satisfactory.
 Attacks were made In brilliant sunshine today but the Air Minis try said that attacks during the night were made in bad weather. Tn addition to blasting at German industry last night British planes bombed docks at Rotterdam and airdromes in northern France and the low countries.
 All planes returned safely from the night attacks, the Ministry said.
 American built Havoc planes Douglas fighters) participated in the night raids. They were attached to the coastal command.
 An eye witness reported from an east Anglian town that there were more bombers than I have ever seen in daylight before"
 Reports from coastal towns said that the roar of the engines of planes soaring to France had caused large crowds to gather in the streets to wave at the pilots.
 No Sign of Enemies
 During the afternoon observers saw squadron after squadron of British planes returning from the continent. There were no signs of German opposition.
 In the Dover and Folkestone areas throngs stood on the cliffs watching the RAF activity, which was so great as to indicate that big operation had been in prog ress.
 The Havocs, Douglas attack bomb CTS, concentrated their attack on runways and buildings of German airdromes.
 The Air Ministry said that fires were started at both French and Netherlands fields.
 British planes flew over the east coast throughout the morning in waves, 50 high that only Q few could be seen. Observers could tell by the roar of many motors that a considerable force was engaged in the sweep.
 A United Press observer at Folks- stone reported that one big forma- tion of bombers and fighters went over to France after meeting at a perfectly timed rendezvous, over the RamSgate area. The planes cir- cled over Ramsgate, and then went out across the channel. They re- turned 46 minutes later, flying in close formation.
