Russian Opposition to Franco.

LONDON, May 23--The Daily News pub
fishes dispatch from Moscow which says:
" Popular comments on the French mis-
sion are in no way lattering and the
French alliance is strongly deprecated by
the lower classes, and even by the cnlight-
ened official classes, who have easily dis,
covered that there is no depth of sincerity
in the professed fellowship. The French
alliance is simply regarded as an eXigency
of the European situation, to be dropped
when it has served its purpose The time
is probably not far distant when Russia
will be in a position to discard all western
European alliances"
