BRITAIN'S TRADE.

London, March 2. The President of the Board of Tre, Mir, Stanley Baldwin, M.P. apeaking at Carios Hall, ssid täststrido was beginning to slowi emerge from the abyss. The expert trade of last year was "sixty- mine per cent of the pre-war trade compared with fifty per cent in) 1920, while für the last quarter af last year it was seventy,diya part cent. If peace could be maintained he hoped to see the figures) slowly and surely approximate pre-war figures, but prosperity would be impossible without complete resumption of international trado and final settlement of the debts and reparations of Europe. It would be the first endeavour of the Government whenever oppor tunity offered to do its utmost to achieve that end,

TURKEY AND PEACE.

Constantinople, March 7. A message from Angora states that the Assembly has decided that the Lausanne draft of the Treaty is inacceptable and contrary to the national pact. It disclaimed responsibility in the event of the Powers insisting on acceptance of the spirit and letter of the Treaty. A substantial majority authorised the Government to continue negotia- tions on the following conditions: The Mosul question must be settled

CONSERVATIVE CONSTERNATION.

}

London, March 1.

In view of the Government's confidence that the stat at Edgehill was absolutely safe, also the fact that the housing question is not so acute in Liverpool as in London, the latest bye-election result has created consternation in Conservative circles. The unprecedented happening of three successive defeits of Ministers at bye-elections demands the most serious consideration of the Cabinet, which anti- cipated a recast of the housing plans, while the Premier is forced to take early steps to strengthen the Cabinet.

UNITED STATES OF RUSSIA.

New York, March 7.

An alleged new plan to overthrow the Soviets has been brought to light in connection with the trial of a man charged with larceny A witness stated that thirty-seven prominent American manufacturera had contributed one million dollars each to finance a corporation for." trading with Russia after the Soviet had been overthrown. The CityTM Prosecutor stated that the accused told manufacturers that a group of Russians, formerly associated with the Czar's Government, had joined with "a number of Japanese diplomats" and planned to organise a United States of Russia.

RUHR OCCUPATION.

London, March 7.

Contrary to previous announcement, Reuter's Cologne correspon- dent learns that no. agreement has been reached regarding the transport of French troops through the British zone. On the contrary, discussion has resulted in a complete deadlock. M. Payot bas announced his intention of taking the matter to London if the British authorities at Cologne do not give way.

CUSTOMS SCHEME FOR CHINA.

London, March 7. The Daily Telegraph understands that in accordance with the Washington Treaties the British Government has elaborated a draft customs scheme for China. The draft will shortly be submitted for consideration to the Washington Treaty Powers.
