TWO ALTERNATIVES.
DEATH AT HOMES OR ABROAD. RUSSIAN DIPLOMATISTS. LONDON, Dec. 6. The Paris correspondent of the Times says that, following an order to return to Moscow with which he refuses to comply, Alexander Barmin, counsellor to the Soviet Legation at Athens since 1934,. has arrived in France and asks the Government to allow him to stay as a political emigre. He has also appealed to the Central Committee of the League for the Defence of the Rights of Man for energetic action to save the lives of numerous Soviet diplomatists now imprisoned in Moscow, also on behalf of those still at posts abroad, “who must choose between risking death in a Aloscow prison if they return homeward or murder by secret agents if they stay abroad.”
