Capt Eden Followers Call for Formation of National Government
A 24-member rebel motion in the British House of Commons, led by Anthony Eden and joined by Winston Churchill and L S Amery, calls for a national government with full powers over industry and manpower to intensify foreign policy and military effort amid European aggression. Prime Minister Chamberlain signals broader talks with allies, while Poland remains neutral and seeks consultations with Britain and France. The push could spark a wider debate on anti aggression measures as Beck arrives from Poland.
