JOHN BULL NOT
TO BREAk With
SOVIET YET

LONDON, March 3.-Sir Austen
Chamberlain announced in the house
OF commons this evening that the
British government does not intend to
hastily sever relations with the Soviet
Union.
The debate was initiated on the re-
cent exchange of notes between Lon
don and Moscow regarding the British
charges of alleged Soviet violation
of the trade agreement by conducting
propaganda campaign against the
interests Of the British empire.
The governments policy toward
Russia was endorsed by a vote of
271 to 146, after lengthy debate on
the subject.
"The British government feels that
a breach between US and Russia must
have reaction on other countries"
said Chamberlain.
Sir Robert Horne, who originally
negotiated the British trade agree
ment with Russia, advocated the sew
erance of relations.
Later in the debate Lloyd George
said that a considerable proportion of
the goods sent from America to Rus
STA for two or three years consisted
of famine goods, while American
bankers conceded credit to Russia in
a way that British banks did not.
Lloyd George and Ramsay Mac
Donald both complained Of the
speeches of the British ministers de-
nouncing the Russian government as
a iunta of assassins and thieves. Mac
Donald declared that such speeches
did the direct harm to the develop
ment Of Anglo Russian trade.
