BRITAIN AND THE SOVIET
* Three Outstanding Questions DEFINITION OF INDIRECT AGGRESSION (BRITISH DEPICT At WIRELESS.) (Received July 19, 2.30 p.m.) RUGBY, July 18. A long report of the. discussion yesterday with the Soviet Foreign Commissar (M. Molotov) has been received in London from the British Ambassador (Sir William Seeds), and at present is being examined. “The Times” states that Whitehall declines to discuss the Moscow talks, which have become a dispiriting theme. Well-founded reports from Paris state that three outstanding questions remain:— (1) The definition of indirect aggression. (2) What States shall be recognised as of vital interest to Britain, France, and Russia. (3) How a military agreement can be incorporated in a political agreement. Britain is still unwilling in respect of the first point to agree that a large neighbour shall be allowed to exert sway over the internal politics of small neighbours.
