Soviet officials deny that such talks are in progress.

Reliable British sources declare that the conversations between Amer- ien, Australia and Britain are pro- gressing favourably.

Sentiment in favour of an embargo against Japan is reflected in a York- shire Post editorial 10-ciny, which states that Britain is not free from reproach.
