ARMS AND SHIPPING

Profits Of Companies “I am wondering if rearming and preparing to go to war against a mysterious enemy is not part of a financial trick,” said Mr. Anderton (Govern merit, Eden) during the Address-in-Reply debate in the House of Repre gentatives yesterday. Mr. Anderton said that companies dealing in arms and shipping in Great Britain today were making greater profits than ever, and in spite of recent statements abou' controlling such profits, nothing was being done to stop it. “Had Mr. Chamberlain and the British Government allied themselves with Russia instead of tinkering and messing about the peace of the world would be assured today,” Mr. Anderton continued. He said that Britain had followed a policy that showed that it had nothing in common with the people, the workers, or the democracies of the world, but everything in commo" with the totalitarian States. “Mr. Nash had a tremendous job to squeeze £9,000.000. and yet they are proposing to lend £1,000,000,000 to Germany.” he said. Mr. Osborne (Government, Onehiniga) : But we are not Fascists. Mr. Anderton: It means that we can see the new system of international banking showing its head.
