SOVIET PROPAGANDA.

STRIKES AND RIOTS. ENGINEERED FROM MOSCOW. QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT. (Official Wireless.) (Received March 11, 11.40 a.m.) RUGBY, March 10. A series of question were put to Right Hon. A. Henderson, Foreign Secretary, in the House of Commons regarding the announcement made by the President of the Third International in Mowcow that instructions had been,issued to its agents to organise strikes and riots in Great Britain and the British Dominions ancl Colonies. One member asked whether the Foreign Secretary’s attention had been called to the fact that last Thursday’s unemployment demonstrations m this country were organised by the Communist Party on representations fiom Moscow ? Mr Henderson, replying to the questions, said lie had no doubt that the Communist International were at pains to produce the manifestations of last Thursday in this country, but in view of the exceedingly feeble response to its efforts lie trusted no undue alarm would he felt in any quarter of the House. As he had previously explained the Governmen t would not hesitate to take the House into its confidence should serious cause for complaints arise, but he would again repeat that they intended in the first instance to be the judges as to the gravity or otherwise of particular incidents, and of the action by which it might be expedient and necessary to safeguard the interests of this country.
