London, Aug. 22.
Sir Edward Grigg, Under-Secretary of State for War, in moving the second reading of the Allied Forces Bill in the House of Commons last night, said it would enable foreign governments supporting the British cause to play their part, None of them was to be regarded as merely refugee Governments, and everyone had, in some measure and means, to play its part in the war.
The British Government, Sir Edward Grigg revealed, was gladly seeking to give legal sanction to the establishment of no less than six foreign armies on British soil, training under their own flags, commanders and military law.
In principle, these forces would be at all times under the British High Command in its character of the Allied High Command. They would be used as far as possible as operational formations under the command of their own officers within the British Command. Where necessary, British instructors were being detailed io familiarize the forces with British material and British practice.
