FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

London, Nov. 9.

The Soviet Premier, Mr Nikita Khrushchev has asked in confidence that Britain and America should leave the problem of Chinese encroachment on the Indian border to him.

Tonight the Russian Ambassador, Mr Malik, called on the Minister of State, Mr John Profumo, to discuss the Laos situation..

Bur Mr Profumo dropped the question and talk- ed about China and India instead and ended up accepting the proposal that Khrushchev should use his personal influence to try to restrain China.

Khrushchev regards the Chinese sorties against India as enormously damaging to world communism.
