BRITAIN AND RUSSIA
SYMPATHY WITH RUSSIAN PEOPLE. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) {Rec. May 18, 9.5 a.m.) LONDON, May 17. In the House of Commons Lord Robert Cecil expressed doubt whether the suggestion of a permanent Allied Diplmoatic Council at Versailles would achieve greater results than the exieting machinery. Britain, he said, had no quarrel with Russia. On the contrary, B»tain had always desired to be on the closest possible terms with the Russian people. We had undeniably suffered grave disappointment and loss owing to Russian political events, but we were anxious to do all possible to support and assist the Russian people and preserve Russia as a great Allied country, or at least as a non-German country.
