"DOWN WITH BABY STARVERS!"

DEMONSTRATION IN COMMONS

DISGRACEFUL ATTACK ON PREMIER

London, Jan. 28. One of the most violent disturbances ever to occur In the public gallery of the House of Commons broke out to-night during the debate on the supplementary estimate for £5,000,000 to be voted towards the newly- created Unemployment Assistance Board, in order to standardise throughout the country the rates of assistance for able-bodied unemployed who have ex- hausted their unemployment benefits.

The Government's proposals were warmly criticised on the ground that they were inadequate by the Labourite, Mr. George Buchanan of Glasgow, who started the House by a virulent attack on the Premier, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, who was not present.

Mr. MacDonald was described

as a mountebank, a swine, a low and dirty cur, who ought to be horse-whipped and slung out of public life.

Mr. Buchanan's outburst was followed by an outrageous scene in the public gallery where women rono screaming, "Down with the National Government!"

were

"Down

with the baby-starvers!"

im- The demonstrators mediately ejected by the House of Commons officers, but others who had at first appeared docile enough and had not joined in the shouting, took up the game, and constantly interrupted proceedings in the House..

Pandemonlum ensued for Home minutes. After sixty persons had been taken away and the shouting had not stopped, the Speaker final- ly ordered the whole gallery cleared-Router..

In the opinion of the market experts the fact that the Bank of France has been selling dollars in large amounts and is apparently willing to continue this policy, is taken as a sign of confidence on the part of the French authorities in the stability of the gold value of the dollar.

The Bank of France, It.is point- ed out, would be reluctant to part with any large portion of ita dollar holdings at present If there were any likelihood of the dollar

Moscow, Jan, 28.

M. Viacheslav Molotov, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, one of the most powerful men in Russia, opening the Seventh All-Union Congress of Soviets to-day, at which 2,000 delegates were present, challenged the foreign critics of the recent political executions which followed the murder of the official, Kirov.

He declared the Government would continue to mete out similar punishment to all its enemies of the same order, in spite of the protests from abroad.

M. Molotov said that Russia's relations with China were good. He denied foreign reports that the Soviet Union was attempting to Sovietisë Sinklang.
