MONTREUX, Switzerland, July 8.
The Soviet delegation announced
today that Foreign CommisSar Maxim
Iitvinoff had been instructed by Mos
COW to leave the present Dardanelles
conference unless he received con-
siderable concessions from the British.
: The conferees, assembled to study
Turkeys demands for the right to
refortify the famous straits connect
ing the Black Sea with the Mediter-
ranean, recently has been close to a
deadlock over rival Russian and Brit
lsh desires.
Demands Unrestricted Passage.
Great Britain demanded the right
of unrestricted passage through the
Dardanelles for her warships; Russia
has contended that the eastward
passage of non-Black Sea powers
should be restricted.
At the same time Russia, herself a
Black Sea power, has demanded the
right to move her warships in either
direction through the Dardanelles in
unrestricted numbers.
Litvinoff, it was stated, deemed in
sufficient Great Britain's offer to mod
ify her demand for an unconditional
entry into the Black Sea in case Brit
ain was at war.
' The British modification would have
changed the right of entry to a case
in which Britain was at war with
Black Sea power.
The conference thus is threatened
with a deadlock, although Great Brit
aims offer would allow Turkey to pre-
vent the entry of British warships if
Turkey believed her security menaced.
Russia Demands Full Closing.
The British also pointed out that II
no Black Sea power was engaged in
war, Turkey undeniably could at all
times close the Straits to all bellig-
erents.
The Russians argued that future
wars could only be waged within the
framework of the League of Nations
and demanded the Straits be closed to
all belligerents, whoever they may be.
