His long political life he aseribed to ‘‘an innocent l)val eonstituency’”. He represents the Seotland divisions of Liverpool, from which he was first returned in 1885. London, May 15th,—An unusual scene oceurred in the House of Commons, which ended in the suspension of the () )mmunist member Mr. Newbold. The vote suspending him was 300 to 88, Mr. Newbold had spken disrespectfully of a Chairman of a commitice, Captain Fitz- roy, Conservative member for Northamp- tonshire. Captain Fitzroy culled upon Mr. Newbold to withdraw and this led to angry reerimipaticns between the Laobourites and, the Char. 'Tne Labour- ites reproached the Chair for not allow- ing, Mr. Newbold to apologize. Captain Fitzroy p2sisted in his ruling for the withdrawal of Mr. Newbold and cailed upon the sergeant at armsto remove Mr. Newbold who decided not to move from his seat. Thereupon the Chair sent for the speaker, who uphald the action of Captain Fitzroy. This pro- voked fresh scenes of acrimony. The speaker seemingly thought Captain Fitz- roy had acted hastily, but said he could only abide by the rules of the House. He suggested that Mr. Newbold could make a communication to the House to- #horrow and that he beliaved the House Wwould take a cunsideratz and generous Mew of the situation. Finally, amid protests by the opposition, the speaker | put the motion for the suspension of the | member, which was carried amid great | excitemeut. Mr. Newbold then with- | drew, NoO vote was taken on the Rus- { sian debate,. the Labour party, in view ' of the Government’s offer to discuss the | situation with Leonid Krassin, the 80l- | | shevist corimessaire of commissaire of | . commerce and trade, agreeing noi to | . press for a division on labour leader Mac- | ' Donald’s motion for a rediction in the | Foreign Office appropriation, as a protest | - agatnst the Government policy. Loodon, May 15th.—The outcome nf . the eagerly awaited Russian debate to- - night in the House of Commons was the announcement by Mr. Ronald MeNeill, | under Secretary, that there would be no | . immediate break between Great Britain | - and Russia, but that negotiations will be . started through Leonid Krassin, who | | was in the gallery listening to the debare, | | Mr. Mac Neil announced, on behalf of . the Government, that Lord Curzon was | | prepared to enter into discussions with | M. Krassin and that in order to allow the | | la‘ter to communicate with the Govern- | ment in Moscow the time limit mentioned | in the British ultimatum to the Sovist | | would be reasonably extended. But, he | added this should not be taken to mean | thart the British would be satisfied with ’ anything less than compliance with their | demands. Mr. Lloyd George expressed | satisfaction with the announcement nnd j said he thought that the Government had | ’ taken a wise decisicn. Mr. J. Ramsay | MacDonaid opened the debate with 3 strong attack upon the Government’s pol- icy, in.which he attributed all the trou- bles between Great Britain and Russia to the failure to recognize the Soviet Gove ernment. He invited the Government to produce <documentary proofs of its charges against the Soviet and maintained that the Russian veply opened the way for a settlement through an international conference. Mr. MeNeill, in reply. strongly repudiated the suggestion of hostile intentions towards Russia. He declared that the Government might have a ‘‘camus belli’’ of its grievanees, but that such an idea had never for a moment been entertained. The Govern- ment did not desire to destroy the trad- ing agreement between the two coun- tries, but simply to ensure its proper observances. The Governments conces- sion took a deal of the sting out of the subsequent debate, in which Mr, Lloyd George provoked hearty laughter by d.- claring that M. Tlenitenerin, the Soviet Foreign Minister. was ot a revolutionay in the commonly accepied use of the term, but was really ‘'as great an aristo- erat as Ca zon.”” T'he Ex-Premier maiu- tained that Bolshevism was a passing phase, and that the Government ought to realize that there was something much more pern.anent than Bolshevism that theyv were up against. Theyv should therefore take advantage of the present cpportunity for conversation. Mr. A-- quith expressed a desire to associate him- self with everything Mr. i.lovd George had siid. Mentone France, May loth.—Mr. George Jay Gould, who h:%s been ill at Cape Martin vear here for some time, died this morning. Mr. Gould was stricken with pneumonia at his villa on Mareh 20th.
