LONDON,
May
25.
Claiming
that
the
Union
of
Soviet
Id-pub-lie
had
syslematically
abused
diplomatic
privileges.
Premier
Haldwin
announced
In
the
Ilouse'of
Commons
yesterday
that
the
Government
had
decided
to
sever
nil
relations
with
Russia.
He
said
that,
unless
Ihc
House
of
Commons
disapproved,
the
Soviet
mission
and
the
trade
delegation
would
he
required
to
withdraw
from
London
Thursday
and
the
British
mission
would
he
recalled
from
Moscow
if
the
Iliue
approved.
The
Premier
failed
to
make
Hie
expected
revelations
in
detail
in
regard
to
the
secrets
of
the
Arcos
House
raid
hut
quoted
from
various
sei.ed
documents
which
showed
that
no
differentiation
was
to
Ik-
made
between
subversive
propaganda
by
Soviet
agents
and
the
activities
of
the
trade
delegation.
He
contended
that
the
Soviet
authorities
deliberately
and
systematically
abused
diplomatic
privileges
and
described
how
a
document
missing
from
the
War
Office
had
been
photographed
at
Soviet
House
and
sent
to
Moscow.
Mr.
Baldwin
went
on
to
say
that
the
men
employed
in
the
trade
delegation
were
also
secret
agents
engaged
in
communicating
information
from
the
lied
Internationale
to
communists
in
England
and
America.
He
alluded
to
a
list
of
addresses
of
communist
parties
Vn
various
countries.
Including
Canada,
and
disclosed
arrangements
made
for
training
agitators
on
Arcos
ships
with
a
view
to
their
subsequent
employment
on
British
vessels.
Concluding
his
speech
the
Premier
said
that
while
they
were
hrtaKinK
off
diplomatic
intercourse
as
a
result
of
the
subversive
campaign
they
were
prepared
to
make
arrangements
for
necessary
trade
facilities
between
the
two
countries.
A

the
British
Government's

Is
In
