CHARGES FLATLY DENIED.
NO DEALING WITH INDIA.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. Eeuter LONDON, Oct. 9.
Litvinoff, the Soviet Commissary for Foreign Affairs, has replied to the British Note which protested against Bolshevik intrigues against British interests in Asia. He declares that the charges are based on imaginary facts and loose and unchecked information obtained from dubious sources. Litvinoff says that all the reports and utterances quoted in the British Note were invented, forged. or falsified. The British Foreign Office was misled by a gang of professional forgers and swindlers. Ha, claims that since the conclusion of the Anglo-Russian trade agreement the Soviet Government has had no dealings with the Indian revolutionaries. The Soviet Government's representatives in Asia were strictly enjoined to refrain from anti-British propaganda. Litvinoff complains that the attitude of the British Government lately has been unfriendly to Russia, and adds that when Britain shows readiness to adjust the differences in £ business-like way she wilj find a ready response from Russia.
