Commons Alters Date
OF War Debate; Big ;
Meeting Held Reason
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Jan. l3.-The govern
ment announced today it had de-
cided to hold full-dress debate or
the general war situation a week
earlier than previously planned, and
this led to speculation that a date
already had been set for the impend-
ing conference of the big Three.
Prime Minister Churchill will open
debate next Thursday with his re-
port to Commons reviewing the war
and the Greek crisis, and the debate
will continue through Friday.
With President Roosevelt's inaug-
uration January 20, there is little or
no chance of the big Three" meet
ing before then, but there is a gen.
eral feeling here that the President
Mr.. Churchill and Premier Stain
will meet either late this month or
early In February.
BritainS whole military and diplo-
matte position faces full airing
after the return of Commons from
the holiday recess Tuesday.
Questions Drawn Up.
Already Laborites and Independ-
ents have drawn up list of sharp
questions to fire at the Prime Min
lister in an attempt to clarity the
situation in Greece.
In the face of admitted difference
among the Allies, diplomats here
looked for the Presidents inaugurel
address and Mr.. Churchill's war re-
view to give a possibly further ex-
position of both American and
British policy.
The two-day Commons debate
also will give Mr.. Churchill oppor-
tunity to sound the temper of mem-
bers. The minority Labor bloc al
ready has called a caucus for the
day before the debate in an attempt
to draft united party policy, es-
pecially on the Greek issue.
Despite truce between the Brit
ish and Leftist ELIAS forces, many
members are voicing uneasiness and
demanding that Britain-possib1y
with the help of the United States
and Russia-press for immediate
elections and a plebiscite in Greece
to decide the fate of the monarchy.
Election Trouble Feared.
Two members have called on Mr..
Churchill to give assurances that
the Greek elections would be "as
free as possible from all forms of
intimidation or corruption" and
that there be mo interference with
the voters by known Royalist SYM
pathizers."
A possibility that the whole Al
lied attitude toward Germany and
the touchy Polish issue would be
raised was suggested by a motion
offered by Laborite Rhys Davies.
Without mentioning anything
specific, Mr.. Davies asked the Prime
Minister whether in view of recent
complications in international af-
fairs, the government, in conjunc-
tion with the Allies, had reconsid-
cred the policy of unconditional
surrender against the Axis powers. I"
In apparent reference to the fu-
ture of Poland, Mr.. Davies asked if
Mr.. Churchill still stood by the
proposal "to transfer from their
homes millions of people in Central
Europe"
The Prime Minister has suggested
that Poland be given a slice of East
Prussia and the Germans living
there moved out as compensation
for the Poles conceding territory to
Russia up TO the Curzon Line. s4~s

Blame Strike on Steward.
The Regional War Labor Board
said the United States Cancellation
Service reported the refusal Of a
single union steward to accept as
|signment from day to night work

strike. The WLB said it was in
formed the employe was not dis
charged.
Leonard e. Palmer, president OF
local 270, CIO Utility Workers Or
ganizing Committee, said he dis
cussed with management apart from

Of demands which included these:
Immediate adjustment of a 7-cent
hourly general wage increase: i'm
mediate reinstatement Of Victor
Stemberger, the steward, with retro
active pay, and return to work of
all involved in the stoppage with
no loss in pay.
Mr.. Palmer and Harold j. Straub,
national chairman Of the UWOC,
said the wage adjustment demand
was withdrawn to be reopened dur
ing forthcoming contract negotia-
tions and that Mr.. Stemberger is
scheduled to return to his job. They
contended Mr.. Stemberger's time
card had been taken from its rack,
indicating dismissal. They said the
company did not agree to pay strik-
ers for time absent while on strike.
Union Hopes for Peace.
The union leaders submitted a
statement to Col. Lynn expressing

be done in the future by both par
ties to prevent a recurrence of the
conditions that brought about the
existing dispute"

Had Britain fallen, an expeditionary force from the United States and Canada would have been confronted with the almost impossible job of recovering Europe by attacks across the Atlantic.
 Now, with Britain still standing, the Allies had an advance base from which to battle Hitler's armies in the Mediterranean, aid Russia and ultimately invade western Europe.
