ORDERED TO LEAVE
SOVIET DIPLOMAT URUGUAY’S ACTION. MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 28. Uruguay severed diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia to-day. Soviet representatives here were charged with assisting revolutionary activities, and the Russian Minister, Mr. Minkin, ana his entire staff have been ordered to be expelled from the country. The decision to hand the Soviet representative his passports, was reached at a meeting of the Uruguayan Council of Ministers where evidence was adduced that Montevideo is the centre of Communistic activity in South America and that the Soviet Embassy here was directly connected with the recent bloody revolutionary outbreak in Brazil. It was alleged that Radical leaders were financed by the Communist International.
Although Uruguay had recognised the Soviet in 1929, it was not until May, 1934, that M. Minkin opened the Soviet. Legation.
