Russin is believed to opp use any enlargement of Trans- Jordan which she considers a British puppet, as well as the internationalisation of Halfa and Lyddn which the Russians fear would play into the hands" of "Anglo-American im- perialism."

British Middle Eastern experts further anticipate that Russia might support an Arab Palestine Govern- ∙ment which is backed by the Mufti, since it would be more independent from the "imperialistic powers" than King Abdullah.

The first principle of the Russinu Palestine policy in the view of the experts, would, however, to be stick to the frontiers of Israel as laid down by the United Nations, it is

The sources said indications of this were found in the Chinese Foreign Minister's visit to Pandit Nehru and also in the position the Chinese Minister took in the General Assembly recently.
