LONDON COMMUNISTS
STREET DEMONSTRATIONS CALL AT NAZI EMBASSY DEPUTATION TO PREMIER (Received September 14, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Sept,. 13 Communist demonstrators marched noisily, but without disorder, to Leicester Square, London, and later proceeded to the German Embassy. The police allowed the leaders to approach and- ring the bell. The door was opened a few inches and then quickly shut. .Further rings were answered by an official, to whom the leaders handed a letter. While Ministers were conferring the police cleared crowds from Downing Street and formed a cordon at the entrance to Whitehall, as hundreds of Communists marched down from Trafalgar Square, escorting a deputation desiring to ask the Prime Minister to recall Parliament next week.
The police allowed tho deputation to enter Downing Street, and admitted it to No. 10, where a secretary explained that Mr. Chamberlain was too occupied to deal with the petition immediately, but would reply at the earliest opportunity.
