EFFECT ON TRADE.
Russians May Stop British Orders. DAMAGE TO BUILDING. (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, May 17. A visit to Arcos offices shows that the furniture and fittings of the rooms were not disturbed but are covered with dust. The strong-rooms are considerably damaged. There are holes big enough to admit men hewn through the brick, concrete and steel. A small safe in Mi Khinchuk"s office was bored in twelve places and pieces are lying about the floor. "The damage to the building is nothing compared with the damage to the Anglo-Russian arrangements," says M. J. Boeff, acting chairman. "Even the normal work of the Trade Delegation and Arcos may not continue. The Soviet may not take the political risk of dealing with Britain. "Machinery orders, which a loan would have financed, would have meant much to the British manufacturers, but it is now very unlikely that they will be concluded.
"We are consulting our legal advisers regarding the damage."—(A. and N.Z. and Sydney "Sun.")
