The Week in Parliament Our Parliamentary Correspondent writes: Will Mr.
Churchill be invited to join the Cabinet? On the whole M.P.s are less sanguine than the political correspondents of the London dailies. If Mr. Chamberlain were disposed to broaden the basis of his Government there is no reason why he should not have done so several weeks ago. Yet it is almost platitudinous to say that nothing the Prime Minister could do would be received with more general approval than the inclusion of Mr. Churchill and his fellow ex- Ministers. Such a move would not only carry conviction abroad: it would rehabilitate the Government at home. At the present time it certainly needs strengthening, a fact of which even its most loyal supporters are painfully conscious. The " tired Ministers " to whom The Times referred remain at their posts while the promotion of Mr. Burgin has failed to allay the general uneasiness.
