Stanley Brings Lab. Party Sec's Name Into Bribery Probe

BANK OF ENGLAND DIRECTOR IN THE WITNESS BOX London, Dec. 7-Sidney Stanley, the key wit ness, told the Tribunal inquiring into alleged corrup tion in Government circles today that he had seen a great deal of the Secretary of the Labour Party, Mr Morgan Phillips. Stanley said: "If Mr Morgan Phillips was at my place once, he was there 20 times. We went to bottle parties together. We went every- where together.”:

Stanley's own counsel asked: "Was there any kind of advantage you ever sought or desired from him?" Stanley: "I have not joined the Labour Party yet."

He said he had given Mr. Phillips a few cigars "and a bottle of whisky now and again."

Stanley burst into laughter at a suggestion that ho had been barred from entering a big London départ. ment store. Counsel for Mr Francis Cecil Price, man. aging director of the store, had suggested that Mr Price bad given his doormen instructions to keep Stanley out.

To Discuss Austrian Peace Treaty

Washington, Dec. 7.-The United States notified Austria today that it is ready to resume four-power negotiations for an Austrian peacy treaty.

Austria has asked the United States, Britain, France and Russia for the resumption of the talks. A note handed to' the Austrian Legation in Washington today said the United States Government is "fully prepared" to take part in re- other powers newed discussions and that as soon as the

reply, the American chairman of the Foreign Ministers' Deputies will act.

Whether he does so presumably will be determined by Russia's reply.
