Press criticisms of the altitude of the allies towards the Polish offensive were voiced in Parliament this afternoon by Col. Wedgwood Benn, who suggested that the government should refer the question of the Polish advance to the League of Nations under Article Eleven of the covenant. Mr. Bonar Law replying, emphasised that the government was unable to advise countries adjoining Russia with regard to their course towards the Soviet government or to accept responsibility for their actions. The government was at present unprepared to adopt such a suggestion. He pointed out that this was not the beginning of a new war. There had Hon. Mr. Pollock, K.C., before his Messrs.

It says the close alliance of the shell com pany and the Royal Dutch group has been the factor of all discussions in the question of its participating in such development. It emphasises the view that in view of the powerful interests involved, and the great national importance of oil, these. arrangements must be most closely scrutinised publicly. In connection with the above, it is noteworthy that the Shell company claims to hold Turkish concessions in regard to Mesopotamian oilfields.

REPARATIONS.

LONDON, "May 4,

The Chancellor of the Exchequer states he is preparing reparations claims, whereof an admitted amount is notifiable to Germany by the reparations commission, before May 1 next for discharge within thirty years. The goverment would set aside from the first reparation received, £5,000,000 for payments in certain cases to private individuals on account of Josses for which there might be claim for reparation, although no legal claim might exist.
