MEETING IN BERLIN
RUSSIAN-BACKED GERMAN ORGANISATION
BRITISH WARNING UNHEEDED Rec. 11.30 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 27. With Russian backing, a German organisation called the Kultur Bund, which the British authorities had declared illegal, held a meeting last night in a Russian-occupied building in the centre of the British sector of Berlin. The Berlin correspondent of The Times says that the Russians have no territorial rights in the building, which they occupy under an old arrangement for broadcasting and other purposes. Major-general E. O. Herbert, British commandant in Berlin, said the blame for the meeting lay not with the Kultur Bund, but with the Russians who were asked to stop the meeting, which was announced on the Russian-con-trolled Berlin radio, but the Russians refused to do so.
The correspondent comments that the Russians never before have gone as far as this in flouting the British. Reuter’s correspondent states that 2500 Germans and some Russians attended the meeting.
