Much argument took place in the Commons to-day arising out of the question as to whether the Commons would have an op- portunity of debating the question of diplomatic relations with Rus- sia before decisive action is taken and whether a White Paper would be published showing the Govern-

The question as to publishing the correspondence would be considered, but the mat- ter had not yet reached the stage in which it was desirable to lay papers. The Government of the United Kingdom would not pub- lish correspondence without con- sulting His Majesty's other Gov- ernments.

Sir Austen Chamberlain asked if the House of Commons would have an opportunity of consider- ing whether the Soviet replies to the conditions laid down were satisfactory before relations were resumed.
