Mr THORNE (Lab Plaistow) asked whether in the event of this meat being held up for a con sideruble length of time the Board of Trade had power to see that it was put on the market Mr BALDWIN My information is that it is not being held np imperial conference agenda Mr LLOYD GEORGE informed Mr Ormsby-Gore (CU Stafford) that if there was a general desire for a discussion of the agenda of the Imperial Conference he would endeavour to arrange for it but tuna was very limited FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE Sir A BOSCAWEN in reply to Captain Redmond (Nat Waterford) said he was informed that on the

EMPRESS OF JAPAN for Vanmnvor left Kobe 24 reason of tbs want of capital and the difficulty in raising fresh capital to carry out the alterations and improvements neoeacary the interests of economy And efficiency It was with those problems that ti bill had to deal It had been sard the bill offered no incentive but if it were shown that a railway company earned revenue over and above the standard revenue the company would be empowered to enjoy the standard revenue plus 20 per rent of the surplus He would have thought that was good incentive He had listened with great interest to the speech of Sir Banbury and in criticising the speech of so experienced a railway authority he felt he was committing a crime equivalent to brawling in church (Laughter) But there were matters in the bill upon which they were entitled to form judgment even though they had not the special advantage of railway experience The right hon baronet attributed to the Government the whole of the senous condition in which the railways found themselves but from 1696 to the outbreak of the war there had been an almost continuous deolme in the price of railway stock In 1914 the Government took a particular kind of contrcfl of the railway companies and guaranteed them an income equivalent to their receipts of 1913 which were in fact their highest rear pts for any year The Government did that notwithstanding two or three strikes of -the first magnitude the rising east of almost everything on the railways and the rising payments to almost everyone employed on them The temporary powers of the Ministry of Transport acd under the hill the powers oonfererd on tlie Ministry by the measure being strictly limited and necessary in their character The interposition of a Committee on which the comjiaiiaee were to have a majority secured the oom panics against tho arbitrary exercise of these powers and it was proverbial that no orders could be made winch prejudielcially affected the interests of stockholders It was obvious that where a regulated monopoly was to be substituted for unlimited composition there ought to be a Government department charged with the duty of seeing that the monopoly was not abused Sir Banbury had described the hill ns a bastard sort of nationalisation" It would be interesting to know whether the right lion baronet intended to vote for Mr amendment Sir BANBURY (CU City of London) pointed out that it was competent for any member to vote against the second reading without oommatling himself to the amendment Sar HE WART said that as to the £60000000 which ti had been agreed should be paid in settlement of all claims the Government regarded it as a fair compromise It was said that the Government was holding litigation over the heads of the companies That was a mistake The sum of £51000000 was in settlement of claims at the ond of the period of control and it had nothing to do with any claims that might arise because of excess payments already made to the companies in respect of excessive maintenance rolling stock overseas other items The great mas of the railway companies of the oountry approved tlie bargain that had been made The traders also approved It was a careful and well-ooneidered attempt to deal with the problem with fairness to the public to the men to the traders and to the shareholders (Cheers) Colonel MILD MAY" (CU Totnee) said that while the bill contained certain provisions which wore distasteful and would have to be amended in Committee he was convinced there was in it a basis on which couxd be built a settlement which would be to the advantage of all the people of t-he land The Government were being urged to arrange that in Committee a provision should lie inserted which would place the men upon the boards If that was done it would endanger the whole agreement arid! the majority of the railway companies would be I forced to oppose the hill if the agreement arrived at were disturbed In dealing with wages the railway companies lied shown much more wisdom than had been shown in the coal industry and in work ing out the details of the arrangement that had been arrived at tho following clause had already been agreed to: There shall be no sudden withdrawal of labour nor are employees to hamper the proper working of tho railway on account of any unsettled question falling within the "purview of the Central Wages Board before the expiration of one month after such matter has been referred by that board to the National Wages Board" The opposition of Labour to the bill because it did not' embody the principle of nationalisation was not worth while discussing because the public would not have nationalisation at any price The oppose tion of the Scottish companies to lateral grouping could be dealt with in Committee There remained the opposition of Sir Banbury But was Sir Banbury sure that he had the support of his constituents the City of Ioudon in opposing the second reading of a bill which contained such an advantageous labour agreement a that to which he had just referred Mr WILSON (Lab Dudley) welcomed the grouping arrangement as a step in the right direction but deplored that the Government had not been bold enough to make a clean sweep of the whole system and to adopt the principle of nationalisation He asked for an assurance that there was no in-ton tion to deny the workers on the railways the right to strike and that to make this clear the bill would be amended in committee No ground had been shown for tho railway oompatrw-as receiving £60000000 gross If they were entitled to any oonipensatkm it should be a very small sum indeed The debate was continued RAILWAYS BILL The House resumed the debate on Mr amendment to the Railways Bill as follows: That this House cannot assent to tile second reading of tail which not nulr fails to provide for the public ownership and control of the railways but would prejudice tlie future acquisition of the railways by the State on a fair and economic basis which provi lies for the payment to the railway companies of a um far excess of the amount due to them consequence of temporary State control and which repealing the statutory limitation imposed upon railway rates rests in a rton-eiected body the arbitrary power of fixing those rat is Mr LAMBERT (L Bouth Motion) said that according to a table furnished by the Minister of Transport in January kt the pre-war railway receipts per annum were aa follows: Passengers £44 000000 Parcels and good 78000000 Other sources 13000000 All who use Mazda Lamps are getting
