[THHOUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]
LONDON, May 13th. 3. Hosengoltz, the Soviet Charge d'Affaires, has sent a letter to Sir Austen Chamberlain protesting against the raid on Arcos House. He says the premises of Arcos and the trade delegation were occupied by armed police, although the pre- mises. of the trade delogatiou, in accordance with the Trade Agree ment or 1921, confirmed by a For- eign Office Note of February 18th, 1027, enjoy diplomatic immunity. He declares that during the raid an employee of the trade delegation named Khudiakov, who refused to give up the key of a safe contain. ing personal papers and cypher codes of the official trade agent, was assaulted by the police, who carried off the post addressed to the trade agent which couriers had just brought.

As a sequel to the panic, the Berlin banks, resulting from strong pressure from Dr. Schacht, the strik-president of the Reichsbauk, have agreed to restrict considerably, but gradually, all credits for speculative or discount purposes. The first re- striction, to the extent of 25 per cent, will be enforced in the middle of June by Dr. Schacht, who is be- lieved to desire to avoid an - crease in the discount rate, which might have shaken the prestige of the Reichsbank. He is said to have threatened the bauks with legisla- tive measures unless they agreed to his demand.

Furthermore, during the raid, the most clementary guarantees and demands of common decency were violated, says M. Rosengoitz; and he further declares that the search was begun before the presentation of a warrant, which was only hand- the assistant director of Arcos, M. Sorottin, an hour after the commencement of the search. Ali the employees, men and women, of Arcos and the trade delegation, wore detained and personally searched, including women possess ing diplomatic passports, for in- instance the wife of the Charge d'Affaires and the wife of the financial attache. This personal search of the women was carried out by mate police.
The letter concludes: "I have informed my Government of all that has occurred. While awaiting their decisions and instructions, I protest nost emphatically against the violation of the obligations undertaken by the British Govern ment in accordance with the Trade Agreement."
In connection with the above, it is stated in authoritative quarters that M. Rosengoltz is under a mis apprehension B regards the exact nping of Article 5 of the Trade Agreement.

LATER.
A Credit Scheme.
LONDON, May 14th. Simultaneously with the Arcus House raid the newspapers state that a credit scheme for £10,000,000, to become operative immediately had been arranged between the Mid land Bank and the Soviet Trade Delegation in order to assist in placing Russian orders in Great
Britain.
Sir Allan Smith, who is respon sible for opening the negotiations, in an interview, said that but for the Arcos House rail the prelim- inary steps toward placing à num. ber of important orders would already have been made.
Soviet Press Comment.
Moscow, May 14th. The Izvestia says that the Arcos House raid was inspired by the example of Peking. It practically means the beginning of the realisa tion of the threat of a rupture of relations contained in Sir Austen Chamberlain's last Note.
The British Government, it saya, is again bringing out the Soviet bogey in order to divert the atten tion of the public and enable it painlessly to enact the Trade Union Bill.
The raid, it continues, deals a blow to the Economic Conference at Geneva for without Soviet partici pation it would be impossible to restore the economic life of Europe. The policy of rupture, which the British Government has apparently definitely adopted, is pregnant with the danger of grave complications. Wrecking British-Soviet relations will ruinously affect the general economic situation in Europe. The catas responsibility for such a trophe will fall entirely upon the start British Government which ed with forgery and ends with a pogrom,
Industrialists are of opinion that credit restriction will detrimental ty affect industry, as reorganisation of industry is not yet complete, and can be successfully carried out only if the Bourse be able to absorb the new industrial shares.
