BRITISH COMMONS
SCORES ELLIS ISLE
$50 of Varied NationaIities
"Incarcerated" in One
Room, Is Charge.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 21.-Ellis Island was
denounced in the house of commons
yesterday. and the suggestion was ad-
vanced that Great Britain ought to
retaliate IL the American govern
ment does not change the methods of
OBTAINING British subjects there.
Harry Becker, independent conser-
vative. asked the undersecretary for
foreign affairs, Ronald McNeill. how
many English men and women are
'incarcerated" on Ellis Island, owing
to the British quota of immigrants
being filed.
Asks for Retalia tfon.
Mr.. Becker also asked If the un-
dersecretary's attention has been
called to the fact that sometimes as
many as $50 women and children of
all nationalities and colors are placed
in one room to sleep; will he mako
representation to the United States
government protesting against this
prison-like treatment Of English sub
5ects and in the event Of continuance
of this practice will he consider TAX
ing measures of retaliation"
Mr.. McNenl replied:
Il cannot say exactly how many
British subjects are at present de-
tained on Ellis Island. The attention
of his majesty's government has re-
peatedly been called to the conditions
prevailing there and no opportunity
has been lost of pressing the United
states to effect an improvement. II
would be difficult to devise suitable
means of retaliation, as very few
citizens of the United States come to
this country to settle
Sir Harry Britain asked If the
undersecretary did not agree that no
Improvement had been made and that
within the last few days English
visitors to the United States. with
passports and vfses absolutely in or
der. had been subjected to these in
dignittes and kept in a cage" with
people of all nationalities
Defends United States Position.
Other members also made queries,
including the laborite, C. D. Hardie
of Glasgow, who asked whether steps
would not be taken to indicate to
the industrial centers like Glasgow
that the people should not emigrate.
Mr.. McNeill. making a general re-
ply, said there were extraordinary
difficulties in dealing with the SUBJ
ject.
'As far as 7 am aware" he added,
the United States government are
very anxious to do anything they can
do to alleviate conditions. There are
| very great difficulties in the way"

Ruhr necessary to feed the population
is from $50 to 600 carloads daily,
which must be forthcoming from out
side the valley.
Realization by the French of the
situations seriousness seems to be
indicated by the announcement that
they have decided to evacuate the two

tated the railroad strike.
Fate In Own Hands.
Official information from the French
to the effect that they would transport
foodstuffs for the civilian population
over their militarily operated lines,
provided the Germans would pay the
costs of moving the freight trains and
handling the supplies. caused German
officials of the district to meet today
to discus whether the payment of such
freight charges would entail "co-opera-
ton or abandonment of passive re-
sistance."
The French hold that the fate of the
Germans is entirely in the Germans
own hands, the French declining all
responsibility for the starvation which
the Germans might bring upon them
selves If they choose to interpret
freight charge payments as 'co-opera-
tion.'
