London, Aug. 7.

In the House of Commons, on the motion for adjournment, re- plying to Mr. A. Ponsonby and other Labour members who criticised the Government's policy towards Russia and China. Mr. Ronald McNeill described the pre- sent Government of Russia as the greatest defaulters in modern history.

He said that Russian intrigue was creating grave difliculties and making much mischier in China, but he did not believe for a moment that Russian propaganda in the long run would succeed in doing any very material damage to the British Empire.

The reported recommendations of the Commission of Enquiry at Shanghai were probably correct. but hot very important in view of the forthcoming judicial enquiry. the whole matter of which would□ likely be established very soon.

He emphasised that any obliga- tions thrown on His Majesty's Government by the judgment of the Judicial Enquiry would ger- tainly be carried out. The Gov. ernment's first, and paramount dacy was to protect the lives and. property of British nationals in China, while not neglecting any. opportunity of helping the Chin- ese 10 help themselves. but scrupulously abstaining from in- terfering with the internal gov- ernment of China.

RUBBER PROBLEM.

AMERICAN AND HIGH PRICES.

EFFORT AT STABILISATION.

(Reuter's Service.)

London, Aug. 7.

In the House of Commons, replying to Mr. Duckworth, Mr. R. McNeill said that the United States Ambassador left with him on July 27 a memoire stating that a critical situation had arisen in the United States rubber indus- try, owing to the high price of crude rubber and the amaliness of stocks in London and the United States, said to be due to the work-¦ ing of the Stevenson Scheme.

The memoire quoted certain proposals, of the Rubber Associa=' tion of America for improving the situation as likely to stabilise the price of rubber at a reasonable figure and stated that such stabi- lisation was essential for the con-" tinuance of normal operations of United States manufacturers and consequently for the encourage- ment of the rubber-growing in- dustry.
