SOVIET'S HOSTILITY.
TOWARDS GREAT BRITAIN. M. TCHITCHERIN EXPLAINS. HAND OF FRIENDSHIP REFUSED. Received December 7, 1.50 p.m. BERLIN, Dec. 6. “The Soviet’s hostility to Britain is on the principle of the French proverb, ‘This animal is dangerous because it defends itself,’ ” said M. Tchitcherin in an interview. The Soviet, ho said, had repeatedly offered Britain the hand of friendship, but it had remained in the air and had not been taken. “I am unable to restrain Homeric laughter when I read the argument that membership of the League is a guarantee against something or other when it is perfectly clear that the League only puts greater power in Britain’s hands.” He said: “The Soviet will not enter such a trap. The Soviet has no intention of interfering in China where nationalism has sprung from the people and is not inspired by the Soviet.”—A. and N.Z. cable.
