USE OF SPIES
NOT ALWAYS HUNTED SOURCE OF INFORMATION
RUSSIAN TRADE POSITION
By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 11.10 a.m. LONDON, Thurs. In the House of Commons, Commander J. M. Kenworthy asked why the spy, Anton Muller, was not arrested but had been allowed instead to stay in England for six years. Sir William Joynson-Hicks, Home Secretary, said that they knew he was in England, but that they had not expected to find him cypher clerk in Arcos, Ltd.
It was sometimes very useful if spies were allowed to remain in order that the authorities could get information regarding other people. Replying to Mr. J. R. Clynes, Sir William said that the Government did not desire to place obstacles in the way of trade with Russia, subjects of which had the same facilities as others, but their passports contained a condition that they must not indulge in detrimental propaganda. A Britisher would be appointed to control the passports for Russia. Sir William also informed Commander Kenworthy that there was no confirmation of the report that Russia had closed Vladivostok to British shipping.—A. and N.Z.-Sun.
