PREPARED TO DISCUSS
NAVAL AGREEMENT
London, May 15.
"We desire to strengthen the Covenant and the League, and to build up collective security for every part of Europe," declared the Soviet Ambassador, M. İvan. Maisky, when addressing a dinner gathering of the Anglo-Russian Parliamentary Committee to-night.
He said the U.S.S.R. had no objection in principle to the negotiations at present proceeding with Germany, but he believed that Chancellor Adolf Hitler's peace plan could not be regarded as promising real peace to Europe.
"We consider it essential that prior to these negotia- tions, other powers generally intérested in the cause of peace should mest and elaborate a common basis upon which negotiations with Germany might be conducted," he declared.-Reuter.
WILLING FOR AGREEMENT
London, May 15. The Russian Ambassador, M. Ivan Maisky, handed the Foreign Office a note to-day indicating that the Soviet was willing to opea conversations with a view to adhering to the London Naval Agreement.
