began, the House received q govern
ment bill for one-year extension
OF its own life. Thus the govern
ment rejected repeated demands
from critics of the present Commons
for general elec ion.
The House passed the bill bv
vote of 2l5 to 9. prolonging the life
of the House for the third time since
the outset of the war. The bill pro-
vided that the Northern Ireland
Parliament also might be continued
if resolution to that effect were
passed by the Ulster House.
Most of the members were elected
in 1885 for the normal term of five
years but have set on under
political truce aimed at keeping the
parties numerical representation
fixed for the duration.
Capt Randolph Churchill. the
Prime Minister'S son, who said he
had been elected to Parliament with
out opposition through no fault of
my own declared that an election
at the present time would be
farce because many of the best
potential voters were away from
home-serving in the armed forces.
After the war, he said, "old ladies
of politics" should make way for
young minds.
The Prime Minister said British
tanks were held up by the alto
gether unexpected strength" of de-
fense blocks placed at the ends of
Dieppe's streets by the Germans.
1t had not been anticipated, he
added, that the barriers could not
be destroyed by British guns.
Making a statement in response
to questions, Mr.. Churchill said the
military force commander at Dieppe
had described the support given by
the RAF for the opera tions there
as "faultless."
100 Nazi Planes Destroyed.
The Raj fought the greatest air
battle of all time over the coastal
town, destroying nearly 100 German
planes for certain and possibly
bringing down many more, Mr..
Churchill said.
James Henderson Stewart asked
the Prime Minister to reconcile his
announcement of September that
most of the Dieppe force returned
and The Official Canadian statement
that of 5000 Canadians participant
ing there were 1850 casualties, in
Guiding 2,717 killed or missing.

g." Mr. Churchill answered, Il was
referring to the assaulting forces
as a whole, the greater part of
whom were, in fact, brought back
by the Royal Navy.
There is no inconsistency in this
with the statement of the Canadian
Minister Of National Defense who
was referring only to casualties
