ANTI-SOVIET RAID
([Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.] damage at abgos. (Received this day at 11.0 a.rn.) LONDON. May 17. A visit to Arcos offices shows the furniture and fittings of the rooms were not disturbed, hut covered with dust. The strongrooms were considerably damaged, holes big enough to admit men being hewn through brick, concrete and steel. A small safe in Khinchtik’s office was bored in twelve places, the pieces lying on the floor. "The damage to the building is ns nothing compared with the damage to Anglo-Russian arrangements,” says J. Boeff, acting Chairman. “Even the moral work of the Trade Delegation and Arcos mav not continue. The Soviet may not take the political risk of dealing with Britain. Machinery orders which the loan would have financed. would have meant much to British manufacturers, hut it now was very unlikely that they will he cor eluded. \Ve are consulting our legal advisers regarding the damage.”
