(TP) An emergency session of the British parliament was forecast in informed political quarters today as Britain and France considered their positions in the new European situation created by the projected German-Russian nonaggression pact.

Both the labor and liberal parties have made strong representations to the government to call parliament back from recess, it was understood, and a decision was expected at this afternoon's cabinet meeting. If the decision is favorable both houses probably will meet Thursday. Both France and Britain received the news of the proposed Germnn-KiisHum pact as a terrific blow, but they cautiously awaited further details before making any comment. (Under a non-npgrewmm pact, each country would undertake not to fight against the other. Germans tints take the development to mean a heavy blow to Britisti-Freneh efforts to negotiate mutual assistance pact with Russia and a strengthening of their position against Poland in the dispute over Danzig.) Official circles in Paris and London indicated no action was plannedimmediately, at least to break off British-French-Russian military staff talks now going on in Moscow.

The British cabinet was scheduled to meet at 2 p. m. (9 a. ra. c.

Downing Street was packed with curious crowds who watched ministers and foreign affairs experts entering and leaving the prim minister's residence, Hope was expressed in some 1 treaty will contain, these persons also expressed the opinion that it docs not rule out the conclusion of a pact of mutual assistance between Soviet Russia and Britain and France. In some informed quarters it was believed that Germany was delighted to announce a new agreement at this time because of its possible effect in forcing a settlement of the Danzig quesion, Russia, it was thought, might also expect to make diplomatic gains by the announcement in that she might frighten Britain into accepting her demands before con-elusion of the pact of mutual assistance.

From the German viewpoint the outlook shapes up this way: Poland is now "surrounded" by German troop3 from the eastern border of Slovakia via Bohemia and Moravia up to the Baltic. Germany, moreover, has non-aggression pacts with all other neighbors of Poland, meaning that they will not attack Germany in rase she decides to move into Poland. The dream of England and France that Russia might join them in the event of an attack on Poland by Germany is held here to have been shattered.
