SOVIET PARLIAMENT
THE OPENING CEREMONY.
AMERICAN RECOGNITION.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 9.25 p.m.) Moscow, December 28.
"Our relations with England are at present satisfactory, despite the Metropolitan Vickers affair,” declared M. Molotov, at the opening of the Soviet Parliament. He added that trade negotiations were proceeding normally, and contrasted Russia’s position with the principal Powers, especially improved relations with France and Poland, with the present attitude of Germany and Japan. He paid a tribute to the League, adding that it had proved a brake on their war-like intentions, and declared that Japan feared co-operation of the Soviet with the United States and China in the Far East. M. Molotov described recognition by the United States as the outstanding event, and referred to M. Litvinoff’s part therein, which was accorded an ovation by 800 delegates. M. Stalin spoke from the platform. A huge white bust of Lenin embowered with greenery dominated the scene. The guests included diplomats and crowds of workers from Moscow factories.
