The favorable balance OF trade for
the ten months was $54O,51 900,
as against $671, 100000 last year,

investments are being taken in

The larger imports indicate the

States. While q considerable pOr-
ton Of the imports were In the

BE GIVEN
Locarno Pacts Also Expected
10 Be Ratified, After Some
Discussion
By II. K. REYNOLDS
International News Service


LONDON, Nov. 16.-Parliament
re-assembled today after q three
months recess, to take up the dis
cussion Of vital international af-
fairs.
There was no formal opening
ceremony, the first business being
the questions submitted to MEM
bers of the cabinet concerning
developments in domestic and for
eign affairs since the adjournment
last July.
Irak Mandate Opposed.
There were indications that the
most difficult hurdle which the
government faces in the House OF
Commons is the problem of extern
sion of the British mandate over
Irak. Colonial Secretary Amery
will propose that the House of Com:
mons approve Great Britain ex-
tending its mandate over Irak for
q period Of twenty-five years and
already a request has been made
that two entire days be set aside
for the debate OF this question.
Opposition to the scheme has
been aroused by constant attacks
appearing in the widely circulated
Rothermere and Beaverboork press.
Within the government party there
Is also a division OF opinion as to
the wisdom of this move. As
Amery's proposal has the complete
approval Of the cabinet, there is
but little doubt but what the de-
sired approval will be eventually
forthcoming from Commons, out
only after a. bitter oratorical battle.
LOcarnO Pacts Up.
The Locarno pacts win be brought
up for ratification during the pres
ent session, and while there will be
some opposition voiced, it is not ex-
pected that there will be any seri-
Gus difficulty in securing the rati-
dcation.
The development OF Communism
and the governments attitude to
ward It. and the question Of inter
allied debts will also furnish subjects
for heated discussion In the present
when the House of Commons ad.
journed for the summer recess the
only business left an the calendar
was the tax adjustment bill. the
amendment to the criminal jurfsdlc-
ton bill and the tithes bill. These
measures are all Of great Importance
to the average Englishnnan and will
doubtless result in extended de-
bates. perhaps even to the point OF
curtailing debates on international
affairs, inasmuch as this session
viii last only twenty-five days.
