If only people care to fol- low our rules they may, but prim- arily the board is being formed to control dog racing on our tracks.
Mr. E. Baxter, who is a leading owner

Mr. Locker-Lampson said it had already been stated not in any way to interfere with the legitimate trade between this country and Russia, but it would be very un- usual to give passports to a coun- try with which we had broken off diplomatic relations, and even if we were to give them we could not possibly guarantee the safety of people in Russia.
