LONDON, 16th' March.
In the House of Commons during the Committee stage of the German Reparations Recovery Bill, the Opposition unsuccessfully tried to make the Bill not come into force until every Power signing the Treaty of Versailles had carried out the same scheme.
Mr. Austen Chamberlain pointed put that this would be equivalent to saying that the scheme would not be enforced at all.
Commander Kenworthy then moved that importers make no payment until the Legislatures of .France, Italy, and Belgium have agreed to the scheme. The amendment was defeated by 218 votes to 70.
