MR. SMILLIE AND NEW UNION.

SCOTTISH PROPOSAL TO

EXCLUDE REDS.

A large body of Conservative M.P.s is gravely concerned, writes the political correspondent of the Daily Mail, regarding the revela tions made in the House of Com mons by the Home Secretary,, Sir William Joynson-Hicks-showing that a Russian bank in England is acting as the financial agent of Moscow to foment revolution in Great Britain..

"It is clear from the further state- ment made by the Home Secretary at Leamington that he is in posses- sion of information much more detailed in character than that given to the House.

Sir William will be pressed to publish this information, which, it now appears certain, would show tho, channels through which money from the Russian banks in Britain is being paid to Communist

appears that Chang Tsung Chang would never have escaped across the Yellow River in his fight from Tsinaw if it had not been for his Russian detachment. The gar- rison troops had all gone on ahead without waiting for instructions, the Tupan being among the last to leave with a part of his bodyguard brigade and his Russian detach ment, plus an armoured train. When they got near the Yellow River they found that a small Southern army, moving from the southeast, was already in possession of the railway and the bridge head. The long file of trains came to a halt and the soldiers of the bodyguard brigade tumbled out and looked to their officers for orders. These gentry were characteristical ly non-plussed by the situation and behaveth in a way that revealed their utter helplessness."

Moscow is pouring money into England for seditious purposes at the rate of thousands of pounds a week.

All Foreign Money "The total strength of the Com-that munist Party at the most generous estimate," said a person qualified to speak on this matter, does not exceed 3,000. These Commmiats rarely pay their dues and levies, yet the party has money to run newspapers, subsidise parliament ary and municipal candidates, and even talk of running a daily news paper.
