PREMIER SAYS "Miss Ceylon" On Tour RUSSIANS CALL
"NO" TO VISIT
TO KREMLIN
London, Feb. 6.
The Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, today turned down a suggestion in the House of Com- mons that he should visit Moscow at once to dis- cuss problems of world peace with Marshal Stalin personally.
Mr Cyril Osborne, a Conservative, suggested that the Prime Minister should do this in a similar way to his discussion with President Truman at Washington, with the object of reducing the threat of a third world war.

FOR MEETING THE "BIG
OF
FOUR"
Paris, Feb. 6.
Soviet Russia called for an early meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in its reply to the latest British, French and American note on the preparations of the "Big Four" conference.
The Russian note admits the possibility of other questions besides the remilitarisation of Germany being discussed.
The text of the Soviet note, issued by the French Foreign Office, said: "Since the French Government, like
the British and American Governments, declares that it
aspires to a lasting improvement of relations between
France, Great Britain, the United States and the USSR
and the elimination of the causes of the international ten- sion now existing, the Soviet Government considers that there is no reason to postpone any longer the summoning of the Council of Foreign Ministers.

"A situation has heen created that while the ference of Foreign Ministers is, for one reason or another, constantly being postponed, not only la Germany not demilitarised but on the contrary measures are put into effect relating to the restoration of a regular German Army and of the war industry in Western Germany as well as numerous other measures tending to the hasty preparation of a new war.
