In the course of a debate in the Counch on Wednesday, when the Socialists and Communists cabled a motion to establish diplomatis relations with Russia.
Dr. Motta sald that the Federal Council did not want to put any obstacles in the way of trade and commerce. On the contrary it was quite, prepared to promote trade between the two countries. But he was of the opinion that the esablishment of diplomatie re- lations did not influence this at all. He reminded his hearers that Holland... which did not recognise the Soviet Union, did more trade with her than Belgium whom she recognised.
