GOVERNMENT POLICY
London, Nov. 29.
Visions of a bitter trade war with Japan
were conjured up in the House of Commons to-night during
a powerful onslaught on Government policy by Lancashire interests. Abrogation of the Trade Treaty was demanded.
"It will have to come sooner or later," declared Mr. Hammersley, "and it is better than it should come now when things are more or less normal than when a crisis has developed."
Mr. Runciman counselled caution and said the Government were determined to exhaust all other means before resorting to abrogation. The resolution moved by the Lancashire .M.P.s was passed by the House without a division.

Lord Londonderry, in the Lords, and Mr. Baldwin, in the Commons, said that Britain must insist upon an air fleet as strong as any in the world, but it was hoped to secure parity by a scaling down of numbers in other countries.
Lord Londonderry, If an agreement for reduction could not be obtain- ed; the converse process must take place and Britain would be compelled to build a great air fleet,
