BRITON AND BOLSHEVIK.
LABOUR'S HANDSHAKE.
CITY FOLK AMAZED
(Received 5.30 p.m.) ! LONDON, August S. i The "Evening Standard" says it! - transpires that the omission of H.M. the King's name from the Anglo-Soviet; Treaty is not due to any desire to placate j Bolshevik susceptibilities, but is the result of the Foreign Office legal inquiries upon the difficulty arising from the fact there is no formal head in Russia corresponding to the King; therefore ' the Treaty could not be properly balanced as if the preamble had been written as between the King and the Union of Russian Soviets. City circles are amazed at tfcjs terms ! of the agreement. There is an influen- ■' tial body of opinion that the Stock < Exchange should veto dealings in loan on the grounds that the Russian refusal to honour the 'bonds outside British . ownership on March 16, 1923, is tanta-' mount to discrimination.— (A. and ~S.Z.)
