London, June 18.
With the London press prominently featuring speculation on the reported strained Russo-German relations, the "Daily Mail" and the "Daily Express" said today that Sir Stafford Cripps, British Ambassador to Moscow, would not return to Russia and instead wprbably would be given a Government job.
Sir Stafford. who arrived in London last week, was recalled for a "routine report." the Government said.
The "Daily Mail" flatly stated that Sir Stafford "will not return unless the Prime Minister urgently requests......It ig understood that he feels his mission has not been a success and therefore a new ambassador should be appointed."
The London press showed a tendency to believe the report that M. Josef Stalin already had given way to Chancellor Adolf Hitler's alleged demands, although there was no confirmation here that any demands had been made.
