A DIRECTOR'S STATUS
NOT IN SECRET SERVICE
LONDON, April 15.
The Foreign Secretary, Sir John Simon, issued the following statement supplementing that made by him in the House of Commons on Thursday: "Mr. Richards, who has been referred to in the Moscow trial, and who is now a director of Metro-Vickers, has never been an agent of the British Secret Service. Ho served in the British Army, from May, 1918, to November, 1919, as a lieutenant and captain, and was posted at Archangel as an ordinary officer. It is true that there he acted as army intelligence officer on general service during these operations, but he had no connection whatever with any branch of the British, service for the last fourteen years.
