Britain to Hold Back on Russia Alliance Says Government
London reports Britain will not seek a military alliance with Russia while continuing talks with Moscow on global issues. Mr Chamberlain's statement is anticipated this week amid hints of confidential negotiations possibly yielding a surprise pronouncement in London and Paris. A semi official German warning to Poland follows attacks on Germans at Bromberg as Lithuania resigns after Memel cession. The idea of a grand alliance against Germany appears unlikely with talk of an Anglo French declaration to defend their territories and allied regions.
