COMRADE ZINOVIRV'S LETTER.
(Reuter's Service.)"
LONDON, October 24. The Foreign Office has issued the text of a letter it has to-day addressed to the Russian Chargé d'Affaires calling attention to a letter which Mr. Zinoviev, President of the executive committee of the Communist International, addressed to the central committee of the British Communist Party, containing instructions to work for the violent overthrow of existing institutions in Britain and the subversion of His Majesty's armed forces as means to that end."
The Foreign Office Informs the Russian. Chargé d'Affaires that the Government cannot allow this propaganda and must regard it as direct interference in British domestic affairs. The Note says no one, who understands the constitution and relationships of the Communist International, will doubt its intimate connection with the Soviet 'Government. Such conduct is not only a gráve de- parture from the rules of international comity, but a violation of the specific and solemn undertakings repeatedly given by the Soviet.
AGREEMENT IS CITED.

Mr. Stanley Baldwin's announcement further provision for the faithful execution of an with regard to Imperial preference, analogous undertaking. "His Majesty's Govern-i The statement declares that the speeches, by ment mean that these undertakings shall be carried Mr. Bruce and other Dominion Statesmen at the out in the letter and spirit and cannot accept the Imperial Conference last year, show the only sort" contention that, whilst the Soviet Government of preference, which can meet their demands, must undertakes obligations, a political body as powerful have consequences which Mr. Baldwin has re as itself is to be allowed to conduct propaganda and support it with money which is in direct viola- tion of the official agreement. The Soviet Govern- ! ment either has or has not power to make such at arrangements. If it has the power, it is its duty to carry them out and see that other parties are not deceived.
If it has not this power and, if the responsibili- ties which belong to the State in other countries are in Russia in the keeping of private irresponsible bodies, the Soviet Government ought not to make agreements which it knows it cannot carry out."
Finally the Note requests the observations of the Soviet Government on the matter without delay, The letter is signed, "in absence of Secretary of State" by J. D. Gregory.

The letter declares "the settlement of Anglo Russian relations will assist in revolutionising the international and British proletariat not less than the successful rising in any working districts of England as the establishment of close contact between the British and Russian proletariats and
