(P ENGLAND READY T0 BREAK WITH REDS Parliament Will First Probe Alleged Treaty Breach London, May 25 (P — Fully con- | vinced that soviet agents have been engaging in subversive activi- ties in London; in violation of the Anglo-Russian trade agreement, |Great Britain was on the threshold |today of severance of relations with soviet Russia. The government al- ready has decided on the step, and | parllamentary approval will be | |sought tomorrow. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin | | yesterday outlined to the common- | |ers the basis for the cabinet's de- cision. A crowded house listened |attentively, as he told how docu- |ments missing from the British {war office had been photographed |and sent to Moscow, how secret ;ser\ire agents engaged in com- municating information and in- structions from the red Interna-| tional and red trade unions to com- munist organizations in England. | |He cited letters and documents to | {prove the government's contention |that Soviet House in London, head- |quarters of Arcos, Ltd., the official | | soviet business company, and the! {Russian trade delegation, was con- | {tinually used to disseminate subver- | Isive matter dealing with the | | “hands off China” movement and | |communist propaganda in the | United States. Details of the recent Arcos raid, | carried out by the London authori- | [ties had been expected yesterday | from the home secretary. The| | premier told a few things about the | raid, but apparently the real story | will not be known until it {s pub- {lished in official papers.

The precise form in which the challenge | | will be given was the subject of | | much speculation. Tt will be decid- !ed at a special meeting today of the |lahor party, under the presidency {of the former labor premier, Ram- | say MacDenald, just returned from | the United States. The liberals, who also will meet today to consider their attitude at Thursday's debate, seem to be di- | vided with regard to the govern- { ment's decision. The majority ap- | pear to oppose & diplomatic breach, but are less opposed to abrogation of the trade agreement. As a whole, the conservatives are | elated over the decision, yet some | moderates of the party are said to| | be uncasy about possible reaction | |in Europe. recalling that Sir Austen | Chamberlain, the foreign secretary, | in February overruled a proposal for a breach on the ground that it | would menace European peace.
