CRIPPS RETURNS
 TOLONDON SOON
British Ambassador to Moscow to Consult With
 Foreign Office

London, June 6.-(UP)-Tae for- eign offlce said today that sir staf- ford Cripps, British ambassador to Moscow, would return shortly to London for consultations.
 GA Moscow dispatch reported to- day that Cripps and Lady Cripps had left Moscow by airplane for Stockholm.)
 There was no immediate indica. ton of the purpose of Cripps' con- sultations with the British foreign office.
 However, 1t seemed apparent that the question of Russia's position fl, relation to Germany would be up. permost in his discussions here.
 There has been much speculation as to the possibility, on the one hand of . new German Russian agreement for the establishment of spheres oi influence in the middle east or, or the other, of @ clash of interests be. tween Germany and Russia as . result of the NaM drive to the ap- brooches of the Dardanelles, Rus. sia's warm water outlet to world trade.
 The foreign once announcement said:
 "At the foreign secretary's request Sir Stafford Cripps. shortly will re. turn to the United Kingdom for con. sultation. After 6 few days in Lon. don he will return to his post ir Moscow. It is Q normal procedure for His Majesty's representatives abroad to come home for consulta- ton whenever 1t seems desirable ir order that they may be kept ir touch with all aspects of the situa' tion."
