CABLE BRIEFS.
Calcutta, March 18. I,a Mirrto, Viceroy of India, states that the loss of fifteen millions sterling worth of crops in the United Provinces of India affects fifty million people. Relief committees are being formed. IyONDON, March 19. Mr Winston Churchill, Under Secretary for the Colonies, addressing the Associated Chambers of Commerce, declared that the insane Socialist idea of controlling the national production is impracticable and unthinkable, and, if attempted, would produce a most terrible shrinkage ot productive energy. St Petersburg, March 19. The Defence and Budget Committee of the Duma, by 19 votes to 14, rejected the credit for the construction of battleships, and approved the votes for torpedoes and submarines. [The Duma Committees have, apparently, vetoed the navyrebuildiug scheme, and confined the vote to defensive,.craft. If they adhere to this stand, trouble with the Tsar would appear to be certain, especially after M. Slotypiu’s warning, cabled recently, that a refusal of the larger vote would be dangerous to Russia’s international status, in view of the competition for armaments amoug the Powers.]
