RUSSIA'S VOICE RAISED IN WARNING
London, Feb. 20.
Russia expresses a fear of military aggression on the part of some power, or group of powers, when she asks for the adoption of prompt and effective measures to counteract this menace to the peace of Europe. Her note, on this subject, was delivered to Paris and London to-day:
Russia is anxious that the position of the Eastern European states be taken into consideration in the plan of Western powers to preserve the peace. An Eastern Pact is essential to an indivisible European guarantee of continuing peace, the Soviet argues.
Any abandonment of the Eastern European
"Locarno" plan by France would lead to the gravest
danger, Moscow declares.
An Eastern European socurity pact is considered an essential
and integral part of the indivisible LUANTUNG
European peace guarantee, for which the Soviet note calls.
Russia recently exhibited some anxiety lost the manifest obstacles to an Eastern European pact should lead to its abandonment by France, and intimated that any such tendency was fraught with the gravest dangers to the peace of Europe.
A despatch from Moscow states that the Soviet note, just delivered in Parla and London, welcomes the proposals emanating from the Anglo-French conversationa in London and emphasises the necessity of their conclusion for the Attainment of European security.

A special despatch from Reuter · says that the Australian High' Commissioner, Mr. Bruce, speak- ing at the British Empire Club strongly urged the mood of re atimulation of international trade as the solution of the present economic diẞculties.
He believed that this re-stimula- tion would require three stages of development: firstly, a definite de- claration upon the British Govern. mont's agricultural policy; socond- ly, tormination of all existing. trado treaties at the earliest possible moment; and thirdly, the negotiation of new treaties with all countries, starting with the British dominions, which should be given the maximum amount of consideration in return for a con- sidoration. In other words, the great thing was Imperial re- ciprocity.
