NO FINALITY YET
THE APPROACH TO RUSSIA FURTHER CONVERSATIONS POINTS RAISED BY SOVIET (British Official Wlrelessi (United Press Association) 'By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) RUGBY, July 10. (Received July 11, at 7 p.m.) Questioned in the House of Commons on the Moscow negotiations Mr Chamberlain said that Britain and France sent further joint instructions to their representatives in Moscow, who had now had two further conversations with M. Molotov. Certain further suggestions had been made by the Soviet, which were now under consideration, and on other points Britain had not yet received the Soviet’s reply. Mr Chamberlain replied in the negative when it was suggested to him that he should arrange for a visit by Lord Halifax to Moscow. In another answer relative to the anxieties which had been expressed in the press of the Baltic States, he said: “It is the general policy of Britain to maintain respect for the integrity of all sovereign States. In particular, Britain is aware of the desires of Finland and the Baltic States to preserve their independence and neutrality, and as this is also the objective of Britain the British Government naturally will take full account of these considerations in the present negotiations.”
