LONDON, July 5. In the House of Commons, replying to Lt Col Lestrance Malone and Captain Wedgwood Benn with regard to the report of the conversation of Mr. Winston Churchill with the Russian anti-Bolshevist General Golovin in May last year, in which Mr. Churchil is alleged to have promised help to the anti-Bolshevist campaign in every way, Mr. Bonar Law said that Mr. Churchill had informed him that the report was very inaccurate. For example the statements that Mr. Churchill said that he was carrying out Koltchal's orders and that British reinforcements sent to Archangel were instant. This day bang celebrated as not to assist in withdrawal but to help Koltchak, were obviously absurd and quite untrue. On the other hand, the Government's policy last year of helping the anti-Bekhevists was, well known and had been quite clearly stated.
Replying to a suggestion during the debate on the subject, Mr. Benar Law said that it was difficult to find time but Mr. Churchill would be very pleased to deal with the matter.

QUESTION OF CHINESE INDENTURED LABOUR.
LONDON, July 5. Replying to Capt. Wedgwood Bean, and Mr. J. D. Killy,, who complained of the re-indenture of Chinese labourers in Samoa before the issue of the mandate, Colonel Amery emphasised that the matter was entirely within the control of the New Zealand government. The Imperial Government was never at any time responsible for the administration of Samoz. Bel had no doubt that any representations from the Samoan chiefs against the Chinese would receive the fullest consideration from the New Zealand Government Colonel Amery declined to submit the question of forbidding Chinese indentured labour in mandated areas to the Counci of the League of Nations,

GERMAN ECONOMIC RENAISSANCE.
When this was achieved, continued Herr Fehrenbach, he hoped that the economic renaissance of "Germany would enable them to meet their financial obligations arising from the taxes which were created and enable them to assume in some measure the reparation "charges. He was very satisfied at this opportunity to discuss face to face with the Allies the economic capacity of Germany in connection with reparation. "We are ready frankly to show our books to the Allies," he said "and to submit documents which have not been specially prepared for the occasion.
