Moscow, May IS tPt-"A most serious and hostile act is the way Russia refers to the recent raid on Soviet House in London in it's note of protest presented 10 the British charge d'affaires by Maxim Litvin- off, acting foreign minister.
 The note declares that commercial intercourse with Great Britain can not be continued unless there is ex- act fulfillment of the provisions of the commercial treaty of 1921, and the Soviet government demands def mite reassurances' of the British government, from which necessary conclusions can be made"
 The principle of immunity of trade delegations and representa- tives Of the Soviet union, says the statements presented last night. was embodied in the fifth article of the Anglo Russian trade agreement of 1921, which now has been violated by the British authorities in the grossest and most insulting man. ner."
 According to that agreement, it adds, the Soviet republic has the right to use cipher correspondence: thus such correspondence as well as the ciphers themselves may under no circumstances be examined by agents of other states or outside persons without special consent by the trade delegation.
 Nevertheless, the Soviet govern ment declares, the police invaded the delegation's premises and the personal bureau of M. Khinchuk who enjoys diplomatic immunity. and examined and took away all papers found. including those re- ceived by diplomatic mail.
