ish Foreign Office today refused
passports to six children who were
going on two weeks visit to the
Soviet Union.
All of the children were children
of workers, some Of them miners

Office felt, it is believed, that the
contrast between the treatment Of
workers in the Soviet Union and
workers in Great Britain would
not add to the glory OF Winston

Asks Legation Withdrawal.
(By Nationalist News Agency

SHANGHAI, June 14.-Removal
Of American Legation from Picking
is urged by the American-owned
China Weekly Review here in an edi-
torial in the current issue. It sug-
gests that all the powers recall
their ministers and send special high
commissioners, unbounded by diplo-
matte presidents, to negotiate new
treaties with China.
"The foreign legations in Picking
as at present constituted" it says,
constitute handicap rather than a
help in Sino-foreign relations, hence
they should be dispensed with and
the sooner the better"

Historic KTGmIin
Listed in Travels
Of World Tourists

The Kremlin wall in Moscow has
just received the body of another revo-
lutionary leader, III. Voikoff, who was
assassinated in Poland. This famous
wall is the burial spot of two Ameri-
cans-John Reed and c. Z. Ruthen-
berg-and before it is the mausoleum
Of Lenin where his body lies on view.
This spot of historic interest, is TO
be one Of the sights visited by the
party which leaves with the World
Tourists on July II, for a six weeks
tour to Russia. Within the Kremlin,
which is the old fortress Of Moscow,
are cathedrals, monasteres and pal
aees-some Of them eight centuries
old-which have been turned into
museums by the Soviet Government.
Much time has been devoted to restor-
ing the ancient beauties of these
buildings so that they shall regain
their original appearance.
Whites Driven Out.
During the 1917 Revolution, the
Kremlin, which contained large ar
senals, was stronghold of the
"Yunkers" and was finally captured
after a Commandment. Since 1918 it
has been the seat OF the chief Govern
ment Institutions, and World Tourists
have arranged for permits to visit it
when the party reaches Moscow,
This tour, arranged in cooperation
with the U. S. S. r. Society for Gull
tural Relations with Foreign Coun-
tries, viii sail direct to Leningrad and
from there viii go by rail to Moscow,
after a four days visit to neighboring
towns. In Moscow, all the sights will
be visited, with the help of guides and
tourists, and the American visitors
viii be given every advantage of spe-
cial delegations and pre-arranged
tours.
Low Expense.
The entire six weeks tour, including
all meals, rooms, rail and boat fares,
theatre tickets-everything complete
costs only 1878. The tour is linn
tied, and the time is short in which
arrangements can be made, so those
interested in taking advantage Of this
opportunity to see the worlds first
