After speeches advocating this viewpoint, Lord Templeton. for the Government, announced their inability to accept the motion.
Growth of TRADE,
He explained that British trade with Russia had increased from £2,000,000 in 1928 to £7,000,000 in 1931. The country would only be doing itself harm by cutting off trade relations. The stoppage of trade with Russia would in- crease unemployment in Britain. and would certainly not contri- bute towards persuading the Soviet to pay her debts.
The motion was withdrawn.

In the House of Commons, the subject of discussion was Cause Five of the Ottawa Agree.nent which is designed to prevent the Ottawa Pre- frustration of the ferences by foreign State action, specifically aimed against Russia.

They were not entirely disappointed. A dis- turbance was caused in the House of Commons from the public gallery, the interrupter was ejected, bands of un- employed marchers began to arrive, the pressure of the huge crowds increased, the situation was ripe for a further display of hooliganism. In the face of the threa- tening outlook, orders were given for the clearing of Parliament Square, and this was finally accomplished, the only persons being allowed access, to and fro being members of the House of Commons.
Rowdies got to work among the crowds at several places, minor disturbances occurred at many points, Trafalgar Square again being the centre of a riotous
