BRITAIN AND RUSSIA
QUERIES ABOUT RESUMING RELATIONS MENTION IN THE COMMONS British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Thursday. The Government has had under consideration the conditions under which diplomatic relations with Russia might be resumed, and it is understood that within the next few days a communication upon the subject will be addressed to the Soviet Government. The Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, in the House of Commons today was asked whether the House would have an opportunity of discussing the question of resumption of diplomatic relations with Russia before decisive action was taken, and whether the communications to and from the Dominions on the subject would be published. Mr. MacDonald said a suitable opportunity for such a debate would doubtless arise, but he could give uo undertaking to postpone all action until the debate took place. The question of publishing the correspondence as requested would be considered, but the matter had not yet reached a stage at which it would be desirable to lay the papers down. The other Governments would have to be consulted before such publication. In reply to supplementary questions, the Prime Minister undertook that final procedure and practice would be followed in bringing the matter before the House of Commons.
