BRITAIN—THE ENEMY
VIEWPOINT OF MOSCOW BODIES ON THE L 55 WARSHIP NOT WELCOMED (United P.A.—By Telegraph- — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Associatioyi) Reed. Noon. MOSCOW, Wed. It is officially stated, in reply to the British report that the Soviet has not replied to the British Government’s request for permission to remove the bodies to England for burial, that “expecting the British Government would wish to transfer to the Motherland the L 55 bodies, the Soviet authorities from the very beginning took appropriate measures, and were careful to preserve the personal belongings of the victims, in order to hand them over to their relatives.”
The British Government has inquired through the Norwegian Mission about the possibility of sending a warship to transfer the L 55 bodies to England. The Norwegian Government was informed that the Soviet did not object to the arrival of a warship belonging to a friendly nation, or a British merchantman, but it could not consent to a British warship entering Soviet territorial waters.
