The British and French talks with M. Molotov (Soviet Foreign Commissar), were resumed today at the Kremlin. There is “no fundamental change in the situation,” was the British Embassy’s laconic statement issued after the talks. The Soviet did not issue a statement.
Tlie talks lasted two hours between Sir William Seeds (British Ambassador to the Soviet), Mr William Strang (Foreign Office Expert), M. Naggiar (French Ambassador), M. Molotov and M. Potemkin (President). Further meetings of the negotiators have not been fiixed.
The Moscow correspondent of the Times says the Russians are impressed by the British determination to maintain the balance of power in Europe, but appear resolved to avoid entanglements in Europe as far as possible. The Pravda says that humanity is being driven to a “second Imperialist war,” and issues a warning that if it impinges on Russia the whole nation will rise and smash the aggressor.
