"LASTING TIES WITH BRITAIN,"
Moscow, May 28. 'M. Zinovieff addressing the congress of the Russian Communist Party said they were justified in viewing the domestic and foreign situation of the Soviet optimistically. The recognition by a pumber of countries had undoubtedly consolidated the international position, but the problem of debts, and claims, was difficult. The Soviet earnestly desired to cultivate lasting ties with Britain. The the home market, promote co-operation, and not chief alms of the Government were to regulārise

Private Capital now controlled 64% of Home trade, State 36%. Russia in the present trade year only exported 200,000,000 poods of grain but in the coming year she would export 400,000,000 compared with 1,000,000,000 pre war,“

Sir, The attention of these Guilds has been drawn to the "Government Gazette" of Friday, May 16th, 1924, in which a "Draft B is published for general; information; A Bill Intituled.

The idea is preposterous, and goes one step further to show the absolute absurdity of legislation for all being drafted by persons who have only one side of the MR. DINSMORE'S FUNERAL object in their purview.
On the point of this wide circle of responsibility will you be good enough to inform us if the penalties of Clause 12 will, re-act on the Honourable D.P.W., in the case of a P.W.D. coolie ill-treating one of his working bullocks?
It is a very homely parallel but will serve to illustrate the farcical nonsense, against which we now protest.
We' huve the honour to be Sir,
