LONDON, june A-violent protests were
made by the socialist and labor members
IN the House Of Commons this afternoon
against King Edwards approaching visit
to Russia. The speakers drew lurid pic
lures OF the alleged conditions in the
Muscovite empire, declaring that while they
had no objection to King Edward privately
visiting his relative, Emperor Nicholas,
they had the greatest adherence OF the
idea Of a state visit to Russia with its
horrors, fortunes and prosecutions"
"Fraternizing with the hangmen of lib
erty in Russia they declared to be a
shame and a disgrace to Great Britain,
which could not avoid contamination in
that II mixed in evil"
The labor socialists suggested that the
visit had been engineered by Russia with
the view Of rehabilitating its credit, and
John @. S. MacNeill, nationalist, jointed IN
the protest.
Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey. or
behalf of the government deprecated the
tone and temper OF this attack. He declared
