BRITAIN AND THE SOVIET

RESUMPTION OF RELATIONS DESIRABLE

TORY OPPOSITION

Rugby, Saturday. The Conservative Opposition have tabled an amendment to the Gov- ernment's motion on Russian rela- tions which will be debated in the House of Commons next Tuesday.

The Government motion is in the. terms:-"That this House is of opinion that a resumption of full diplomatie relations between this country and Russia is desirable, and it approves the procedure for settle- ment of the questions outstanding between the two countries, Includ- ing those relating to propaganda and debts, as set out in the Protocol of October 8."

The Conservative amendment de- plores the failure of His Majesty's Government to maintain the candi- tions which the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary laid down for re- sumption of diplomatic relations, until these preliminary conditions' have been satisfied.-British Wire- less Service.

REPORTED DEMAND FOR A TRIO OF FOREIGNERS

How Kaying, an Important inland city in the north-east of Kwangtung near the Fuklen frontier, was recaptured from the Communist horde under Chu and Mo, is now related in a report to the "China Mall."

The city was in a panie for a few days prior to the Reds' arrival, there being very few troops on the apot.

On October 25 gunfire was heard three miles away. The next day the Reds entered, about 1,000 strong, meeting with no opposition whatsoever. They asked the Cham- ber of Commerce for $100,000, in return for which they promised to refrain from looting and pillaging. After bargaining, they accepted

It is also reported that they demanded the surrender to them of three foreigners but, this has not been verified.

On October 27, a large force of Government troops approached and the Reds retired; without a fight, and refraining from any excesses. They were last heard of, as having retreated to near the Klangsi frontier.
