THE PEKING RAID.
BRITISH OFFICIAL VERSION. SOVIET EMBASSY NOT ENTERED. (Per Press Association —Cqpyright) LONDON, April 8. The official version of the Peking raid, which has reached Downing Street, shows, as anticipated, that the Russian Embassy was not affected.
The Chinese authorities had information that arms and ammunition were stored in the offices of the Dal Bank, the Chinese Eastern Railway and the Russian Indemnity Com mission. All were also used for subversive propaganda. None of the buildings in any way enjoyed diplomatic immunity, and anyhow the Soviet long ago renounced such privileges even for the Embassy building. The Chinese police issued a search warrant and obtained the authority of the senior member of the diplomatic body because the buildings are within the Legation quarter.
Throughout the raid the Soviet Embassy proper, which is quite a separate building surrounded by its own walls, was strongly respected.
