DEBATE IN HOUSE OF

Further light was thrown on Moscow's intrigues, especially in China and Britain, during the debate in the House of Commons yesterday on the Government's decision to cancel the Trade Agree- ment with the Soviet.
The Home Secretary announced that he possessed a photo- graphic copy produced in Arcos Building of the missing War Office document which had led to the raid.
He said he also possessed the names and addresses of most of the Soviet spies in Britain and, in answer to a question, hinted that arrests might soon be made..

The British Government, said Sir Austen Chamberlain, had continued relations with the Soviet until they had become a hollow
sham. The Soviet Government had shown itself incorrigible.
The British Government would no longer take the responsibility of maintaining diplomatic relations which were so abused that they were a source of irritation and danger.
The Government took the Labour motion as a vote of censure.
The motion was defeated by 367 to 118 votes, and a Conservative amendment approving the Government's action was carried by 357
votes to 111.

REDS' WUCHANG TROOPS REVOLT,
To-day's wireless news from Hankow reports further dramatic "developments. The Communist troops have suffered a smashing de feat in Honan, practically the whole of the 8th. army being wiped out..
Upon the receipt of this news, Comrade Borodin and seven of kis Russian subordinates hurriedly left the city for the South Bank and are now believed to be in flight.
Without loss of time a general movement was begun in Hankow to clear out the Reds and a coup on much the same lines as that at Canton was promptly carried into effect.
The. Communist unions in the city were raided, union leaders were executed, anti-Chiang Kai-shek posters were removed, and a meeling of employers was convoked.
The Hankow "Government's" troubles, it is also reported, have been further increased by the revolt of Communist troops at Wuchang. The capture of Changsha by Chiang Kai-shek is now con-
