the court to the pettiest detail of
weekday existence. The book is writ

with the proviso that che exporter di-
vide with the district mining councils
all the profits over ona shilling per ton.
In replying to some Of the argu-
ments advanced, Premier Lloyd George
argued that 1t would be impossiblc to
have naturalization without bureau-
cracy. It would be useless, he said, to
establish another system unless Mr.
Brace was able to prove that 1t would
be better than the existing system.
He declared there was no guarantee
that under the plan proposed by the
member the present output would be
increased. The Premier ridiculed Mr..
Braces idea that the miners would
work harder for the State than for
private interests.
Premier Quotes from Trotzky
Mr.. Lloyd George created something
Of a scene by quoting from Leon
Trotzky to show that the Bolshevist ex-
pertinent of naturalization in Russia
had failed and that the Bolsheviki had
been obliged to resort to conscription
Of labor. This brought forth excited
shouts Of Thanks to your fighting"
Mr.. Braces scheme, the Premier con-
tended, would discourage the develop
ment Of the mining industry, while it
was impossible to eliminate the specu-
lative incentive except by confiscation,
and that was dangerous game to be-
gin.
The Premier argued that what the
Miners Federation really wanted was
full control Of the coal industry, and
that to hand 1t over thus would be dis
astrous to the community and mis-
fortune to the miners themselves.
Referring to the governments pro-
the government was not opposing a
blank negative to naturalization by
its constructive scheme for improving
the mining industry.

Announcement That Trade
With Russia Will Be Re-
sumed Keynote of Lloyd
Georges Commons Speech
Silences Labor Outcry
Premier COntrives to Make
Policy Which He LongH
FoughtAppear as His Own

From The Tribume's Europeon Bureau
Copyright 1920, New York Tribune Inc)
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE outstanding
question which has been hurled at the
British government for the last two
years has been answered at last
Great Britain has a Russian policy.
This country has definitely decided to
resume trade relations with Soviet
Russia.
The decision was tho keynote of
Premier Lloyd Georges speech at the
opening session of Parliament and was
embodied in King Georges formal
address to both houses. Thus, after q
years futile opposition Great Britain
will follow this country's lead--has
made an economic, if not a formal,
peace with Bolshevism.
That trading would bring an end to
Bolshevism and that Europe needs
Russian grain are the two justifica-
tions advanced by the Premier for the
governments change in policy. The
decision silences labor's outcry, yet
Premier Lloyd George made it appear
that it was his own program from the
first
eve can't refuse grain from Egypt
just, because Pharaoh's on the throne"
putting Russia into circulation" said
Lloyd George, in the same breath, in
sisting that abandonment of the
blockade and resumption Of trade rela
tions do not constitute making peace
with the Bolsheviki.
No Excuse for Change of Heart
The Premier made no attempt to
justify Great Britain's previous policy
toward Russia, nor did he attempt to
excuse the change in heart. Having
failed to restore Russia by force" was
his only comment along this line, 'T
believe we can do so by trade"
The Premier insisted there was abso-
lutely no danger of Bolshevism spread
ing among England's weaker neigh
bors or in the Near East, for two
reasons: First, because however strong
the home Soviet troops might be, they
could not maintain war of aggres-
sion owing to lack Of transportation
suitable for moving ammunition; and,
second, the one reason for all invasions 9
s better off than countries she
might seek to overrun.
livery democracy in the world would
have preferred some other form of
government in Russia than Bolshevism,
Lloyd George said, but it was unthink-
able to consider plunging the country
deeper in the throes of civil war, be-
cause it could not succeed in over
throwing the Soviet regime by force
of arms.
Kaleidoscope Changes of Pace
All parties in the House of Commons
acknowledged the brilliancy Of the
argumentative oratory with which
Premier Lloyd George confounded his
critics, but the substance Of his pre-
pared speech left them rather stunned
as the result of his kaleidoscope
change of pace.
1t was q lively session-this opening
one-with frequent tiffs between lnem-
bers Of opposite views. Twice Sir Ed
ward Carson passed the lie when Ire
land was being mentioned, each time
