§ 13. Miss LAWRENCEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the speech of M. Kamanev, referred to in the note to the Soviet Government of the 23rd February, in which M. Kamanev stated that the Soviet Government devoted undue attention to the internal welfare of the union instead of concentrating its efforts upon revolution in foreign countries, is the speech reported in "Tzvestia" of the 5th November, in which M. Kamanev expressed similar views in opposition to a resolution of M. Stalin?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir. The particular speech in question was made al the Conference of the Communist. International in December last.
§ Miss LAWRENCEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that M. Kamanev expressed a similar view on 5th November, and that the resolution in support of it was entirely defeated?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINYes, I know that he has expressed these views more than once, but it is sufficient to cite the one occasion, which I did.
§ 14. Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the reply to his note to the Russian Government, he is now prepared to cancel the trade agreement with Russia?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI understand that there is to be a debate on this subject to-morrow, and I trust that my hon. and gallant Friend will allow me to reserve my explanations of the policy of His Majesty's Government for that occasion.
§ Mr. CECIL WILSONIs it in consequence of the trade agreement that Russian special stout is supplied in the bar?
