London, Dec. 7.

VERY SHARPLY-WORDED REBUKE was ad- ministered to the Russian Ambassador in London on November 28, as a sequel to the recent riots in London and to accusations made against Britain in a Soviet

newspaper.

This fact was revealed in the House of Commons this evening by Captain Anthony Eden, who stated that Sir John Simon was compelled to take serious notice of the activities of the Third International and of Russian --press propaganda.

Sir John Simon, he said, warned the Russian Am- bassador that a continuance of such conduct would im- peril the forthcoming Anglo-Russian trade and other negotiations, and wound up by saying that he required an apology for the Russian newspaper article and by demanding to know clearly what the Soviet attitude to Britain is.

Suddenly, M. Trotsky demanded that he be re-landed, declaring. that the action of the French Government Jn putting them aboard a steamer which would take at least a fortnight to ronch Constantinople was "Inhuman" in vlow of Madame Trotsky's state of | health.

He insisted that the party should be allowed to return to Turkey by the overland route.

The French authorities, after considerable ado, decided to allow the party to land. They after- wards left. by the afternoon train for Vantimiglia. .
