EMBARGO BILL PASSED.
SIR JOHN SIMON’S WARNING TO RUSSIA. OUTCOME WHOLLY DEPENDENT ON SOVIET. BRITAIN ACTING IN THE LIGHT OF DAY. (Received Friday, 7 p.m.) LONDON, April 7. The House Of Commons passed the third reading of the Russian Embargo Bill by 291 votes to 41. Sir John Simon (Foreign Secretary), closing the debate, expressed a hope that the powers conferred would not have to be used. That depended on the Russian authorities. Sir John Simon said he trusted this Act, conducted in the light of day, before the world, would bring home to the Soviet the gravity with which the British Government regarded the situation. The Government was not pursuing a selfish, vindictive or incorrect course. It was merely trying to help imperilled Englishmen.
