Archange, Aug. 1.

A moving appeal is issued to the western democracies by the Presidents of the Zemstros of Northern Baskia against the withdrawal of troops, thus leaving the popula tion at the mercy of the Bolsheviks, The appeal recads. crimes of the Bolsheviks, their dispersing the Constituent Assembly, the wholesale marder of those demonstrating in favour of it, the signing of the Breathitovsk treaty, the dissolution of the workers' am peasants organisations. their shooting everybody who criticised them, the arrest and expulsion of non-Bolshevik socialists. etc. Despite the terrorim, however, the peasants of various parts of Russia rose up to fight for the Constituent Assembly. Now they have heard that the Allies are learing Russia. This moral and material blow will make the stuggle against Bolshevism beyond our strength. We shall give up the fight, bat we ask you to remember that not only calls forth gratitude, but brings certain responsibilities to the helper. Consider those thousands of exeations of old men and women, those sufferings from hunger, the absence of elementary justice and freedom which will undoubtedly result from the departure of the Allies. We a-E. we demand that the Western Democracies tak what this blow wil We appeal to those feelings of human justice which never can die in the hearts of free Democracies."

its second reading by 253 votes to §.

Sir Auckland Geddes, moving the second reading of the Profiteering Bill, defined profiteering as "making an un- reasonably large profit, all the circumstances, of the case being known, by the sale of an article which was one or one of a kind in common use by or for the community." Sir Auckland Geddes emphasised the paneful effects of profiteering, which included the creation of social unrest which was materially contributing to disturbance and dis- organisation of industrial life. The workers were discouraged from producing freely because they felt they were lining the porkets of their employers He instanced profiteering whereunder boots could be purchased wholesale at 15- to 25-.. and retailed at from 50- to 10- a pair, also a tender for -repairing coltages amounting to £3,500, whereas £2.500 provided adequate profit. The Government intended to stop these things. Sir Auckland Geddes acknowledged that the present high prices were not entirely due to profiteering. greatest difficulties in administering the Bill, but there would be greater dangers if the position was left untouched He stated that Ireland was included in the measure.

Mr. Kennedy Jones moved rejection.. He thought the Bill would be ineffective and positively harmful to trade. It would create another vast expensive department, which was at present undesirable.

The Unionist member, Sir W. Ratherfard, seconded the re- jection and the ensuing debate was animate The Bill was much criticised, but many supported it because its passage. is bound to have a good maral efect, showine that the Government realises the need for speedy action.
