LONDON

BRITISH REPRESENTATIVE'S POSITION.
TOO MANY SPIES AROUND.
(Reuter's Service.)
LONDON, August 22. There is considerable discussion in London with regard to the reported humiliating treat ment of Mr. Hodgson, British Chargé d'Affaires
at Moscow.
Il is learned in well-informed circles that the report that Mr. Hodgson is practically a prisoner is incorrect, but spies infest the British Mission, rendering it most difficult for Russians to have any continuous relations with the Mission. The atten tion of M. Rakovsky has been called to the matter. It is hoped his representation of the complaint to Moscow will lead to an improvement in conditions.

STORM IN REICHSTAG
COMMUNIST SCHWARZ SUSPENDEL
IGNORES PRESIDENT'S ORDER.
BERLIN," August 22. ›
There were stormy scenes on the re-assembly of the Reichstag. The Communists demanded the immediate discussion of the Communist motion as "being more important than the 'Government- declaration on the surrender of the German people to International capital." They also demanded immediate dissolution and a plebiscite on the Dawes report.
Herr Marx was prevented from beginning a statement on the London Conference by prolonged Communist shrieks of amnesty for political: prisoners. The President ultimately was obliged :: to adjourn the sitting and suspend the Communist › Schwarz for twenty sittings of the Reichstag, 144
Schwarz was still in his seat on the resumption of the sitting. The President, readjourned: the Reichstag until tomorrow, saying that standing orders did not authorise the fusible removal of the deputy.zip to NU
INDUSTRIALISTS' FIRM STAND.
At a meeting of the executive of several big associations of Industrialists and merchants, a solution, recommending the adoption of the onddo Agreement, was carried by 100 votes to 3.
ANOTHER ELECTION POSSIBLE.
After sitting for several hours, the German People's Party in the Reichstag unanimously decided to accept the decision of the London Con-” ferance, despite the burdens imposed on Germany. But it added that it was the duty of the Government to clear up the diplomatic situation by all means in its power. The German Nationalist Party in the Reichstag unanimously decided to adhere to its resolution of the July 22, demanding the immediate evacuation of the Ruhr and the restoration of the German railways, etc.
All the papers interpret the Nationalist Party resolution as meaning that the Party will vote against the Dawes Bill in the Reichstag and that this will ensure their rejection. This will mean the immediate dissolution of the Reichstag and another general election, which is tantamount to a plebiscite.

(Reuter's Service.)
PARIS, August 224.-
At the resumption of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies, M. Herriot-stated-that-Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's letter, regarding the evacua tion of the Ruhr, had been handed to him in. London, before the pact had been concluded, be- fore Mr. MacDonald's, speech and before the Ruhr question was settled.
M. Herrlot pointed out that the Germans and French ad submitted their own viewpoints on the Ruhr Question and Mr. MacDonald, quite rightfully, submitted the British viewpoint. Therefore, it was unjast to Interpret idr. MacDonald's action as a wrongful proceeding, or a disavowal of the agree ments reached in London.***
THE EARLIER STAGES.
The Chamber has begun the debate on M Herriot's statement. Although there is no doubt that the Premier will obtain a substantial majority there is a prospect of a series of long speeches în both the Chamber and the Senate. Thus the discuss sion will probably not end before the middle of next week of the earliest."
The Chamber yesterday evening adjourned till this morning. A Communist motion, which was rejected, proposed the adjournment until the Senate. bad discussed the Amnesty Bill
