MOSCOW, May 15.
THE SOVIET Foreign Minister hand- ed the Soviet reply to the British proposals to the British Ambassador at midnight to-night.
The interview with the Ambassador, which was quite cordial, lasted half-an-hour.
It is understood among authoritative circles that Russia promptly rejected Britain's counter proposals..
The Soviet described the British plan as being "inadequate" and stood firm on the original Soviet sug- gestion.
In the House of Commons to-day, Mr. Chamberlain gave the first intimation that Britain will pursue the negotiations at Geneva.
Lord Halifax, he said, will attend the League Council Imeeting and contact the Soviet representatives there.
