MOSCOW NEGOTIATIONS

FRESH INSTRUCTIONS TO AMBASSADOR MR CHAMBERLAIN'S ANNOUNCEMENT (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyngnt RUGBY, July 17. Mr Chamberlain stated in the House of Commons that fresh instructions had been sent to Sir William Seeds, but he was not yet in a position to add to his recent statements with reference to the Moscow negotiations . LONDON CONSIDERING AMBASSADOR'S REPORT (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 18. (Received July 19, at 10.5 a.m.) A lengthy report of the discussion yesterday with M. Molotov has been received in London from Sir William Seeds, and at present is being examined. WHITEHALL DISPIRITED THREE QUESTIONS REMAIN. LONDON, July 18. (Received July 19, at 12.30 p.m.) ‘ The Times ’ says Whitehall declines to discuss th© Moscow talks, which have become a dispiriting theme. Wellfounded reports from Paris state that three outstanding questions remain:— 1. Definition of indirect aggression. 2. What States shall he recognised as of vital interest to England, 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 should be allowed to exercise sway on the internal politics of small neighbours.
