LONDON, Aug. 6.-Active diplo-
matte exchanges are proceeding be-
tween London and Paris today over
the next allied move to check the
Russians and prevent a spread OF
warfare in Europe, following receipt
of the Soviet governments unsatis-
factory reply to the British note OF
Tuesday.
BLOCKADE ORDERED.
The outstanding elements OF the
Russo-Polish situation today were:
1-Orders have been given to the
British navy to re-impose drastic
blockade on Russia, according TO the
Chronicle, and the Daily Herald, or
gan OF the Labor Party, states that
the British North Sea fleet has al
ready been ordered to the Baltic.
2-The Soviet government, in It's
reply to the British protest against
the continued advance in Poland, is
reported to have confirmed the fears
of British officials that Moscow can
not check the red army's advance.
3-The German government has re
iterated its policy of neutrality. and
will not allow the allies TO send
troops over German soil to Poland.
The Immediate effect Of the Rus
sian note is to emphasize the import
ance OF a resumption of armistice ne
gotiations by the Poles" said the
Daily News. 1T seems certain that
the Reds will cease their advance the
moment the truce is signed, but other
wise they will be in Warsaw within
weeks time. 1t is believed that
Polish delegation has already gone to
Minsk to treat with the Russians"
The new declaration by DR.. Walter
Won Simons, German foreign secretary.
in the National Assembly, that Ger
many will maintain neutrality in the
Russo-Polish war resulted from re-
ports that the French were concen-
trating troops in the Strasbourg and
Belfort areas, according to an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from Ber-
lin. DR.. Won Simons threatened tho
disarmament of the French troops IL
they violate German neutrality"
A special commission has been ap-
pointed at Berlin to advise the gov
ernment in Eastern European affairs.
The attitude OF the Germans I'm the
districts occupied by French, British,
and American troops, over the possi-
bility o. sending allied forces through
Germany to Poland is described as
passive.
