LESSONS FROM SOVIET
NOT GOOD FOR BRITAIN, HOUSE OF LORDS SAYS TRADE PACT CRITICISED LONDON, Tuesday. In the House of Lords today Lord Newton inquired why the Government was giving diplomatic privileges and immunities to Russia’s trade representatives in London, and to their premises, though these were withheld in other parts of the Empire. Lord Ponsonby, in reply, started that there was nothing new in the Anglo-Soviet trade agreement. Partial diplomatic immunity was granted in the trade agreement of 1921, even before the recognition of the Soviet Government. He deprecated the continual suspicion of a foreign Government which Britain had recognised. Viscount Brentford (formerly Sir 'William Joynson-Hicks) declared that the Government apparently had not benefited by the lessons of the Soviet’s actions in the past. The London Gazette contains the names of 40 Russians who have become naturalised British subjects. They are mostly refugees who fear the infliction of penalties if they return to Russia.
