RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA
AMBASSADOR WILL ENJOY USUAL PRIVILEGES
QUESTIONS IN COMMONS British Official Wireless Reed. 11.35 a.m. RUGBY, Wed. In the House of Commons today, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Arthur Henderson, replied to several questions regarding the resumption of relations with Russia. He said he was not yet able to give the exact date on which the British Ambassador to Russia and the Soviet Ambassador to this country would enter upon their duties. He assured a questioner that the members of the British Embassy at Moscow would enjoy the same diplomatic privileges as would be granted to the members of the Soviet Embassy in this country. They would indeed, enjoy the usual diplomatic privileges. He denied that in his discussions with the representatives of tile Republic, any reference was made to financial assistance.
A cable message says: The inconclusiveness of the Soviet’s policy in regard to abstention from propaganda in Britain and in the Dominions is being discussed in official circles. The opinion is held that the attitude of the Soviet obviously is calculated to embarrass the Government. It is thought that the Soviet will not do anything drastic, but just merely annoy and pin-prick until the British Government again discontinues relations with it.
