NOT ELUCIDATIVE

HOME SECRETARY’S STATEMENT A PROTEST FROM ARCOS. Received May 17, 8 p.m. (A. & N.Z). LONDON, May 16. i It is expected that Arcos Ltd. will ' resume business to-day, following the police evacuation last nigni. | M. Sorokin, acting-chairman, has sent I a letter to the Home Secretary asking: : Firstly, what were the allegations upon ‘which action was taken? Secondly, what has been removed from the building? Thirdly, what complaints, if any, can you make against us as a result ;of the inspection of the premises and : papers? Thus far the public is as much in the I dark on these points as Arcos is. | It is geenrally agreed that Sir Wilj liam Joynson Hicks’ statement in the ■ House of Commons was not elucidative : regarding the papers, and it is hoped j that more * information will be giver ! on Thursday. j The Morning Post says there arc ! good reasons to suppose that the secret document which was the object of the search was discovered while the police were endeavouring to obtain access to a particular room. The Daily Express states that all that is certain is that many circumstantial reports purporting to reveal a senstional discovery arc unfounded. The paper understands from high authorities that the police have not found anything which could be described as a complete list of Red agents, or evidence of sums of money paid to British agitators by Moscow during the general strike. The reported discovery of bank notes, passports and documents concerning the visit of President Doumergue is also declared to be completely inaccurate. It is reported from Moscow that the Soviet is sending a Note to Britain to-day on the subject of the road.
