PREMIER SAYS "Miss Ceylon" On Tour RUSSIANS CALL

"NO" TO VISIT

TO KREMLIN

London, Feb. 6.

The Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, today turned down a suggestion in the House of Com- mons that he should visit Moscow at once to dis- cuss problems of world peace with Marshal Stalin personally.

Mr Cyril Osborne, a Conservative, suggested that the Prime Minister should do this in a similar way to his discussion with President Truman at Washington, with the object of reducing the threat of a third world war.

FOR MEETING THE "BIG

OF

FOUR"

Paris, Feb. 6.

Soviet Russia called for an early meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in its reply to the latest British, French and American note on the preparations of the "Big Four" conference.

The Russian note admits the possibility of other questions besides the remilitarisation of Germany being discussed.

The text of the Soviet note, issued by the French Foreign Office, said: "Since the French Government, like

the British and American Governments, declares that it

aspires to a lasting improvement of relations between

France, Great Britain, the United States and the USSR

and the elimination of the causes of the international ten- sion now existing, the Soviet Government considers that there is no reason to postpone any longer the summoning of the Council of Foreign Ministers.
