FOR COMMONS SPEECH
London, To-day. The Soviet Ambassador, M. Ivan Maisky, called at the Foreign Office yesterday morning and saw Sir Robert Vansittart, Chief Diplomatic Ad- viser to the Government.
It is understood M. Maisky informed Sir Robert of the terms of the communication received from the Soviet Government replying to his account of the contacts with Sir Robert on Wednesday. An account of the conversation was handed to Mr. Chamberlain before he spoke in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon.
No further instructions have been sent to Sir William Seeds, British Ambassador in Moscow, in the past day or two.
Reuter understands that a dif- ference still exists between Bri- tain and the Soviet as regards the methods to resist aggression, but it is confidently believed these will be overcome.
Trans-Ocean adds that the in- terview between M. Maisky and Sir Robert Vansittart lasted half an hour.
