MOSCOW PRISONERS
BRITAIN'S INTENTION BAN ON RUSSIAN IMPORTS LONDON, March 28 Captain R. A. Eden, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, stated in the House of Commons yesterday that the Government was in active communication with the Soviet about the arrested employees of the Metropolitan Vickers Company. An announcement on the subject would be made this week. It would not be in the public interest, said Captain Eden, to make any further statement. The Morning Post's political correspondent interprets Captain Eden's statement as meaning that unless Britain receives satisfactory assurances from Moscow in regard to the arrested men within a week powers will be taken to impose an embargo on the importation of Russian goods. The Government intends to be ready with these powers by April 17 when the present trade agreement will expire.
