BRITAIN AND RUSSIA.
APPOINTMENT OF AMBASSADOR. DISAPPOINTMENT IN MOSc6w. MOSCOW, Nov. 13. The press does not mention Sir Esmond Ovey’s appointment as Ambassador, at which disappointment is expressed in Soviet official circles, because he is a traditional diplomat, instead of someone in closer personal touch with the Labour movement. The opinion is expressed that Sir E. Ovey’s regime will not assist trade development, which v will continue in favour of the United States. It is reevaled that the name of the proposed Russian Ambassador was sent to London some days ago to ascertain if it would be acceptable. PREMIER CATECHISED. AN UNANSWERED QUESTION. LONDON, Nov. 13. In the House of Commons the Prime Minister, Right Hon. Ramsay MacDonald, was asked whether he would inquire if the Soviet Government intended to dissociate itself from the Comintern's declaration that a Soviet promise was not worth the paper on which it was written? The Prime Minister did not reply. Mr MacDonald told another questioner that he did not propose to inquire further into the Zinovieff letter.
