(Reuter's Service.)
London, February 1.
Britain has recognised Soviet Russia The British Note invites the Russian Government to send to Landon at the earliest moment representatives armed with full powers to discuss matters like the existing Treaties, the settlement' of mutual claims, the restoration of Russia's credit the propaganda | question, and to draft the preliminary bases of a complete Treaty to settle all outstanding questions.

The text of the Note of to-day's date, communicated to the Russian Government by the British Trade Representative, Mr. Hodgson, declares -
I bave the honour, by direction of my Government, to inform your Excellency that they recognise the. Union of Socialist Soviet Re- publice as the' de jure rulers of those territories of the old Russian Empire which acknowledge their authority. In order. however, to create the normal conditions of complete friendly relations and full commercial intercourse, it will be necessary to conclude definite practical agreements on a variety of matters, some of which have no direct connection with the question of recognition and some of which on the other hand, are intimately bound up with the fact of recognition.
In the latter category may be cited the question of existing Treaties. His Majesty's Government are advised that the recogni- tion of the Soviet Goverment of Russia will be according to the accepted principles of international law and automatically bring into force all the Treaties concluded between the two countries previous to the Russian Revolution, except where these have been denounced or otherwise juridically lapsed. It is obviously to the advantage of both countries that the position with regard to these Treaties should be regularised simultaneously with recognition.

CORDIAL SPEECHES AT DINNER TO AMBASSADORS:
MR. RAMSAY MACDONALD ON THE PRINCE OF WALES,
(Reuter's Service.)
London, February 1.
The Prince of Wales. Mr. Ramsay Macdonald and Mr. J. H. Thomas were amongst the distinguished persons attending the Pilgrims' Dinner, presided over by Lord Desborough, giyen in hon- our of the new American Ambassador, Mr. Kellogg, and the newly
appointed British Ambassador to Washington, Sir Eame Howard, z
His Majesty the King, sending a message acknowledging their greetings, said he trusted the occasion would prove another happy
the link between
two great English-speaking nations. Mr. Macdonald, proposing the health of Mr. Kallogg, declared that the whole nation was standing with held breath awaiting further news of Mr. Wilson. The relations between the United States and Britain had never been better, and he prayed they would long continue so, Continuing, the Premier said America and Britain wanted no alliance and no documents. They were prepared to stand side by side not in a political alliance but in human fellowship, to help sách other to advance the cause of humanity (cheere). Incidentally he declared, the gategory of Ambassadors was manificently, and worthily represented in the person of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. (Prolonged cheers.)
Mr. Kellogg, responding, said he believed one of the greatest services the United States and British Empire could perform for the world was to set an example of fair and broad- mined statesmanship in international dealings, and maintain the sacredness and inviolability of treaties. He would do everything possible to maintain the closest and most friendly relations with His Majesty's Government and the English people.
