PROFITABLE DEAL.
FURNITURE! RECOVERED FROM SOVIET. BT CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON. Feb .16. A profitable British deal in Russia was mentioned by Mr. G. Locke rLampson, in moving the supplementary estimate for the office of Public Works. He said a mission was sent to Leningrad and Moscow to try to recover the furniture belonging to the British Government and seized by the Soviet during the revolution. The mission cost £3OO and recovered effects worth £12,000. Mr. G. Lansbury (Labour) moved a reduction of the vote as a protest against the foolhardy policy of removing furniture from Petrograd. The motion was rejected and the vote carried.—Reuter.
