CLOSER TIES
AUSTRALIA—SOVIET
Britain Believed Adverse To Proposed Move United Press Association.—Copyright. Rec. noon. SYDNEY, this day. Determined moves to expedite the appointment of an Australian Minisl"r to Moscow afe likely to be made Dr. Evatt in London, says the J ly Telegraph. Australia has been < ,er to complete negotiations started some months ago, but there have been inexplicable delays. Official quarters claim that negotiations are being hindered at Whitehall, where it is contended Australia does not need separate representation because Britain is already represented. This view is not shared in Australia. Federal circles consider an exchange of envoys by Australia and Russia would not only cement friendly relations between the two countries, but would increase the possibility of Russia taking a more active interest in the Pacific war.
Mr. W. M. Hughes urges the appointment at the earliest possible moment of a Minister to Moscow. He suggests that Dr. Evatt, who is now in London, should consult with Mr. Maisky, the Russian Ambassador in London, about an exchange of diplomats.
