Objections To Rocass
Mr. Hugh Dalton (Labour) de- clared that the Opposition strongly objected to members being sent away for an indefinite and long period in recess, as it would have been proper to have had a more constant touch with the Ministers on the inter- national situation.
"The Labour Opposition does not trust the Government either to do the right thing when Parliament's back is turned, or to re-assembic Parlia- ment when or if the need arises." he said,
Mr. Dalton criticised the delays in the Russian and Poliais negotiations, and referring to the staff talks, de- clared that he haped the members of the mission would set the politicians a good example by getting down to brass tucks.

Other Speakers
Sir John Wordław-Milne, speaking in the debate, said that he was de- lighted at the very clear statement made by the Prime Minister, and he thought very satisfactory.
He saw no reason why we should not follow the example of the United States and denounce the Anglo-Japanese agreement,
Referring to the Japanese currency demand, he asked the Prime Minister to consider whether he could go even only a ttle further, and say not that we would do nothing to support the Japanese demand, but we would do something to prevent them from bringing it about.

The Prime Minister declared that Mr. Dalton had been proud of his Insistence in naking questions about the Russion negotiations, and in fact "he had tried for a long time to goar me into recriminations against the Soviet by seeking to put the blame for the delay upon this Government. If I restrain myself, it is measure of the sincerity of any desire to come to an agreement.
"I can assure the House that It required somo self-control from correcting the false impressions which Mr. Dalton sought to convey. I am not going to give to-day a summary of the negotiations for that very

After reference 10 the Polish negotiations, Mr. Chamberlain sald that one must admit the situation in which the accumulation of wea- pons of war was going on en soy many sides and at such a pace must be regarded with auxiety, for It was dificult to see whai resulu- tion to the problem, there could be unless it was resolved by wor it- self.
