The general impression m Near

excitement caused by .ast evenings

course Of the negotiations. Vorov-
sky was not regarded as an official
Russian delegate.
Switzerland keenly feels the posi-
ton in which Conradi's act PAGES

may hold local patriotic associations

inasmuch as the Swiss Fascist or
gan.xation recently ordered Vorov-
sky to leave the country or take the
consequences. The implication in the
latter alternative. spokesman Of the
fascist assert. meant nothing more
serious than tina Vorovsky would be
dosed with castor oil. or run out OF
the country as a penalty for his at
tscks on the Swiss government for
its refusal to grant = viss to a soviet
courier to Lausanne.
Police inquiries have failed to on
meet Conrad with tho fascist at
Lausanne.
Russians in Lausanne were quick
to plaos responsibility for the crime
on local agitation against Vorovsky.
They also attacked the Swiss authori-
ties for falling to protect the repre-
sentative of Moscow and expressed
bitterness against the allies. A full
