MOSCOW, March 17.-(A.P.)-~ Overriding protests by the British Government, the Soviet authorities announced tonight that four British subjects, accused of sabotage in con- nection with their work for a Bri- tish Electrical Machinery Company which has been doing business here for 10 years, would be placed on criminal trial.

“No pressure or menace will be able to induce the Soviet Governr ment to refrain from keeping its‘ laws in relation to Brltlsb subjects, Foreign Minister Maxim Iiitvinoff said in an official communique.

The accused men were arrested last week end, along with 36 RUE-l slan employer of the Metropolitan Vickers Company, simultaneously with raids on the company's offices in Moscow and Leningrad. Six Bri- tons were arrested but two have been released.

The Communique announced that, the Britons and Russians would be zried together and that the proceed- ings would be publlc. The trial tsl expected to be held within a month.‘ _The Soviet Government's action was in answer to protests by Britain and to a declaration by Stanley Bald. . Lord President of the Council, in the House of Commons to the eflect that the British Gov-i eminent wasconvinced the charges were unjustified. The details of the accusations have not been publish-

t

Mr. Litvinoit said that the Bald- .vin declaration and the verbal pro- tests made by the Bdtish Anions-i sador yesterday were tantamount to‘ asking that the action be withdrawn so far as the British subjects are concerned.

"The British Government expres- sed conviction that they are inno-

'cent,” the Foreign Minister said.

"Such a proposal is quite inadmiss- able and cannot be discussed by any Government of an independent country. ‘ “Having proof and information about crimes, the Law Enforcement Agencies of the Soviet Government are compelled to adopt. measures to deal with thcm, uiidsuch is the ac-

' cepted order in all countries. As to

such measures as arrest and prosec- ution, our authorities have recourse to them only when there are serious reasons and when it is demanded by the safety of the state and its pro . , The men to be tried are L. C. Thornton, chief erecting engineer;

IW. H. MacDonald, engineer; John

Cushney, an engineer"; and a fitter named Gregorp. Allan Monkhouse, Director of the Company, and char- les Nordweli, another official, were arrested and subsequently released l

Mr. Litvinofi prefaced his asser- tion that no pressure could induce the government to refrain from carrying out its laws by saying that "it would be wrong ii the episode’ should have any effect 0n political and trade relations between the U. B. S. R. and Great Britain, which of ooursewould be bud for both coun- tries." _

In his statement to tho House of Commons Wednesday, Mr. Baldwin said the British Ambassador at Moscow had been instructed "to re- present in strong terms the grave view the Government takes in than proceedings against British subjects of high " engaged in normal‘ work for the benefit of both coun- i tries, and the unfortunate conse-

whtch may follow."

During the depression he lan- guished, silent, in a jail in Spain while two cheques for $300,000 lay in his trunks. New all he needs to gct out of prison is some kind ben- efactor to put up a few thousand dollars to clear up the bankruptcy proceedings brought against him by a wicked cousin.

Then the old Grandee and his new friend can locate the trunks and. divide up the $300,000. The role of benefactor in the latest applica- tion of the well known confidence game has fallen to Town Councillor A. W. Moifatt, of Amherst.
