LONDON, November 12 —Soviet in- dictments of eight prominent Russians for alleged counter-revolutionary plot- ting with British and French govern- mental figures were believed here today to be a form of domestic propaganda, not to be taken seriously abroad. Mild musement was the reaction in authoritative London circles. Sir Henri Deterding, international ofl leader, who was one of the men accused by the Moscow prosecutor, N. V. Krylenko, of plotting the overthrow of the Moscow regime, laughed outright and com- mented: . t story is a confession of weak- ness. The Bolsheviks have to concoct stories like that to that their whole system is breaking up. The end is near.” Sir Henri was particularly interested to learn that the names of those ac- cused as his co-eonspirators in counter-revolutionary enterprise includs Col. Lawrence of Arabia, Churehill, believed to bz Mr. Winston Ch the exchequer; Director Simon, belleved to be Sir John vsmhk , Liberal leader, and Sir Phillip of ers, Neither Winston Churchill nor Sir John.
