HUGE RUSSIAN SUPPLIES. GROWN BY CONSCRIPTS. ; 11, 1 ifrf.fi Prp«s As^r«*i3T.i^r. —Ky fCleo.trir Teleerapt •oiivriedt’ LONDON, Nov. 26. In the House .of Commons, Lieut.Colonel A. H. Gault. Conservative member for Taunton, directed attention to the dumping of foreign cereals into Britain, and moved a, motion deploring the Government inaction in this connection. He said that out of 71,000,000 cwt. of wheat imported from January 1 to September 30, Russia sent 3,500,000. at half the cost of production in Britain. This was grown on State farms by conscripted labour under a. tyrannic Government. Mr. G. M. Gillett (Labour) said that tlie yearly import of 6,000,000 cwt from Russia, was hardly an important factor. H was probable that all exporting countries were having to sell below the cast of production. Lieut.-Colonel Gault’s motion was defeated hv 224 votes to 139.
