RECOGNITION OF SOVIET.
BRITISH VIEW CHANGING. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Received Dec. 21. 9.30 pun. London, Dec. 21. The Financial Times says there is no doubt that the elections have brought appreciably nearer full diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Government, towards which there is already a distinct leaning in British official circles. There is a large majority in the new Parliament for a resumption of relations. The Labour Party has always advocated recognition, which policy has the approval of the Liberal leaders and the bulk of the rank and file, as well as many Conservatives. It is pointed out that Britain’s recognition would rather encourage the moderate elements in Russia, who have been engaged in introducing a modified form of capitalism, than have the effect of buttressing the extremist elements.
