Moscow Talks Hopes to Send Fresh Instructions

London, June 26. Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, stated in the House of Commons today that Lord Halifax (the Foreign Secretary) hoped shortly to be in a position to send further instructions to Sir William Seeds, the British Ambassador in Moscow.

Mr. Hugh Dalton suggested that the outstanding difficulties in the present negotiations were causing great satisfaction in Berlin, and increasing the risk of German aggression, and a general war in Europe.

"That may be so," Mr. Chamberlain replied, "and I hope that is in the minds of the Soviet Government also."
