HOUSE OF LORDS
[United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] LONDON, Feb. 20. Lord Cushenden expressed the opinion that the breaking off of diplomatic relations with the Soviet was the only policy offering a hope of improved intercourse. It was the only policy reconcilable with dignity, In's lory and instinct of British people. Lord Newton said Bolsheviks differ in mentality from the whole people of the world. They were like boa constrictors. The only proper way to deal with them was to keep them at arm’s length. Lord Ponsonby replied that Russian propaganda in Tsarist days consisting of clever intrigue in India, Afghanistan and Turkey, was far more dangerous than an insignificant newspaper circulating in London’s slums. Lord Birkenhead had allowed himself to become the leader of anti-Bolshevik hysteria, the only motive of which was to embarrass Mr Henderson’s negotiations.
