IMPROVEMENTS NOTED

NO PACT NEEDED

London, April 2,

The suggestion that Anglo- Chinese trade might possibly be improved by means of a trade agreement, was put forward by Mr. Daniel Somerville in the House of Commons to-day.

Mr. Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade, replied that recent statistics showed that there had been, na improvment in Anglo-

White-headed and grim-visaged, the breast of his picturesque blue uniform bright with decorations, Marshal Josef Pilsudski, virtual dictator of Poland in his position as Minister of Military Affairs, to-night Chinese trade and he did not think talked with Mr. Anthony Eden, Great Britain's envoy of peace,

Polish "strong man" and British minister talked in French, and Marshal Pilsudski expounded Poland's viewpoint with respect to bi-lateral and multi-lateral pacts for the preservation of peace and security, and more especially explained Poland's stand in connection with the proposal for an Eastern European pact, embracing Poland, Germany, Russia and other states.

No new position arose from the day's talks, but it is believed that the various suggestions made by both Polish and British spokesmen are being considered, and that no final judgment has been taken by either. It also seems likely that the proposed visit of M. Laval, the French Foreign Minister, will in- fuonce the future developments of Poush policy.

A dinner was given by Colonel Josef Beck, the Polish Foreign Minister, this evening in honour of Mr. Eden. It was attended by: high Polish offelals and

their

wives. Cordial speeches were ex- changed, the speakers dwelling apon, the Anglo-Polish friendship! and the sympathy Great Britain had displayed for Poland's cause.]

This was a reduction of nearly forty per cent, and the imports of liquid egga from China had been conal. derably reduced at the same time.

Capt. Elliot was unable to say what the cause of the reduced im. ports might be, but the Govern ment was carefully watching.

Capt. Elliot remarked that it would not be possible to take dia- criminatory action against a single consignment of eggs.—ficuter.
