NATION'S DEBT: Mr. Amery said that Lord Jellicoe had reminded them how much the country depended for its necessities of life on the British Mercantile Marine. A nation which owed so much for its existence, well-being, and development to the work The Chief of the Train is all of those whose livelihood was gained at powerful," said the speaker, and very sea was under a special and personali strict where the bourgeoisie are concern obligation to them.

There were other and more exciting happenings on the same train. A cow strolled on the rails, and caused the second car to be derailed when the engine removed the cow. Then another time, a Russian woman fell off the train, which backed half a mile to pick her up again, unhurt.
Food on the train was expensive and poor, and Moscow hotels were no better." The use of a room for two hours cost ten roubles, and one of the best hotels in the place had only two chairs in the lounge, and one settee on the first floor. It was difficult to make the hotel people under- stand what. bath was, and when that was made quite clear, it took another half an hour to get the water clear. The pipes were all rusted; silent testimony to the passing of the luxury loving bour geoisie.
Chats on the train with Communista, the while waiters strolled through the cars with cigarettes in their mouths, re-. vealed that under Soviet rule, all men are equal. Hence the presence of the aforementioned waiters at the passengers tables. It was also discovered that there was a definite wage limit for all brain- workers, and an ingenious method to discourage any clever man getting more than his legal share, the discouragement consisting of a lack of investments, while to increase the luxury of his existence was impossible as he is forbidden to em- play any one.

The speaker was in Russia for only as long as the journey through, coupled with a brief stay at Moscow. Ee could not, therefore, give a detailed criticism of Russia to-day, but be summed up his flecting impressions as follows:
"With the exception of the Commanists on the train, I did not see one happy face in Siberia or in Russia, The sta tions are crowded with beggars of all ages, male and female. The people look down-trodden and wretched. No one dare look even respectable. The women wear cloth peaked caps and ill-cut blouses of grey material with a leather strap. round the waist and skirts of coarse blue material, No British artisan's daughter. would be seen dead, in the costume. The men ara miserably clothed and filthy. There is an air of suspicion everywhere. The people wander about the streets in. an aimless manner, casting furtive glances at the passers by. There can be no greater autocracy than that, which obtains under Communist rule, the rule of a small minority by revolvers. The Russians are used to nutocratic rule; but that the system can spread to more onlightened peoples is incredible. The capitalistic system has its defects, but under it one does see happy people of all classes. In Russia the same gloom pervades all. It is just a great relief to get out of a country which can be des cribed only as drab, dirty and depress ing
The sac was then opened an incision was made in the auricle (one of the four chambers of the heart) and the gloved Enger of the surgeon was inserted as a plug to stop the immediate fountain of blood.
After examination it was decided not to incise the valve as had originally been intended but merely to dilate it with the
Enger.
