MAY 25. 1927. LABOR AND LIBERALS TO OPPOSE BRITISH BREAK WITH RUSSIA Soviet Will Welcome Action as Good Propaganda, Is View. Agree Charges Are Sound. London, May 25 (P)-All the Lon- don newspapers with the exception of the Labor-Socialis: Herald, agree that the government's case against Soviet Russia, prompting the decision to break off relations, is incontestably sound.

The Liberal papers, however, either question or condemn rupture of diplomatic relations. Declaring that the Russian Government "shamelessly its position under the trade agreement and repeatedly broke its pledges, the Liberal Daily News contends it is impossible permanently to ignore great European nation. with its 160,000,000 people. It argues that Russian propaganda is noticeably losing its effectiveness and that the western governments should follow policy of firmness and patience. Soviet Will Welcome Action.

The Westminster Gazette (Liberal) thinks the diplomatic effect of the government's action will be exactly opposite to what it intends and will be welcomed by Russian extremists as good propaganda for the Red army. The Liberal Chronicle, agreeing that Soviet Russia has persistently broken faith, thereby justifying the abrogation of the trade agreement, thinks it is a matter for serious anxiety that diplomatic relations are severed against such warnings as those of Sir Austen. While maintaining the "Russians got what they deserved." the Independent Daily Express questions whether anything effective ea be achieved by giving what they de- serve. Tory Papers Back Baldwin. The papers supporting the government express strong approval of the decision.

The Times declares no government could have done less in the circumstances. The Telegraph says it was time to make an end: that the government would only have invited further affronts if it continued a wordy argument with a people whose habit of forswearing themselves "has been raised to a principle." In the course of whole-hearted indorsement of the government, the Post charges the British opposition with being deeply involved in Premier Baldwin's disclosures. The Daily Mail says it is gratified the government has taken a step the paper has long advocated against the "malignant. persistent hostility of the Soviet Government." See Blow at British Trade. The Daily Herald charges the ministers with Ah throwing grit into the machine of Anglo-Russian relations.

It declares the Government has indefensibly broken the trade agreement by not giving Soviet Russia an opportunity of explaining the acts with which it is charged. It adds that Mr. Baldwin has given a blow to British trade which will increase unemployment and threaten the peace of the world. Cabinet Prepares Note. A note containing the British Gov ernment's final word to Soviet Russia was in the course of drafting by the Cabinet today.

It will be handed to the Soviet representatives at Chesham House, the former Imperial Embassy, as soon as possible after the House of Commons approves the government's decision to sever both diplomatic and formal trade relations with Moscow. The note, which will simultaneously be dispatched to Moscow. will give the government's full terms regarding the Russian emissaries in England. It is understood they will be allowed a period of grace amounting to a week or 10 days in which to pack their baggage. Soviet to Stop Trade.

Moscow, May 25 (P)-M. Mikoian, Commisar of Trade, declared today that his departrtent would stop all trade operations in Great Britain and Premier Baldwin would find himself mistaken if he thought that after the liquidation of the Soviet trade organizations, their functions would pass to British firms. In the near future, the Commissar said, all Soviet trade activities in Great Britain would be reduced to liquidating business already undertaken. Nevertheless, "in spite of Britain's violation of its engagements to the Soviet," he has instructed all Soviet organizations in London to fulfill the engagements already made.

The disability application was voided by the fact that the medical examiner of the retirement board arrived at Dr. Shallow's home after he had died. The service application was faulty because it was left undated. Ada K. Turner of P.

In an effort by Marcus M.

McCullough, as trustee of the bankrupt estate of Frank, Auditore, former millionaire stevedore and steamship magnate, to capture some of his property for the benefit of his credItors, Mrs. Lulu Auditore, his former wife, is being pursued through the courts. She appeared yesterday as a defendant in Justice Druhan's part of the Supreme Court, where Mr. McCullough began his legal battle to make her disgorge about $100,000 worth of liberty bonds and whatever title she may have to the Manhattan Beach mansion at 137 ridge where she resides. It is the contention of the trustee that the Liberty bonds and the lien Mrs.

Auditore has on the house are really the property of her former husband and that the latter transferred them to her to defraud his creditors. She Denies Fraud. Mrs. Auditore, who divorced her husband in 1921, told Justice Druhan that about 1920 her husband gave her about $89,000 worth of Liberty bonds and in two years prior to that he bought her a fur coat for $8.000 and gave her jewelry worth $18,000. They lived in lavish style, the children were at expensive boarding schools, there were four high-priced cars in the garage and a day and night chauffeur.

John B. Johnston, her counsel, dwelt on these extravagances by way of showing that the $89,000 gift was nothing wonderful and that Auditore had no thought of hiding anything from creditors. In fact, she did not even know at that time, she said, that he was in debt. But after she began the divorce suit he sued her for the bonds, claiming they were his property. She settled that action by keeping $25,000 worth of the bonds and giving him the rest.

The trial will be resumed next week and accountants will go over the books in the meantime. $331,758 Judgment Unpaid. Mr. McCullough seeks to realize something on the judgment of 758 that was entered against Auditore in favor of Mrs. Guiseppina Parascandola as administratrix of the estate of Joseph Auditore who died several years ago and who was one of the heavy partners in the Auditore Contracting Co.

She claimed that Frank Auditore had appropriated the firm's money. Frank Auditore was twice in the Raymond st. civil jail for failing to hand over the money, when directed to do so. But he has not yet made good. DRY STATUTE MARS CONSTITUTION, SAYS EPISCOPAL BOARD Hits "Enforced Sobriety" and Asks Moderate Law to Promote True Temperance.

Declaring that the Prohibition amendment was a "blemish to the Constitution" and insisting enforcement of the Volstead law been failure, the resolution which the of directors of the Church Temperance Society of of the Protestant Episcopal Church passed, Monday, asks a speedy adoption of "moderate regulatory measures" in the liquor question. The resolution was made, public last night. It is a lengthy indictment of the present methods of enforcing the Volstead law, but at the same time it is a strong argument for temperance. It does not favor anything like free license, but it does insist that the whole question of Prohibition is an educational, rather than a legislative, question. Hits "Enforced Sobriety." Among other things, the resolution finds "enforced sobriety is of very little value," and declares that the temperate should not be made subject to the same restrictions as the intemperate.

says that a law, such as the Volstead law, tends to promote bitterness and strife, encourages hypocrisy and foster dissension. Then it asks for a nation-wide appeal to the clergy and laity of the Episcopal Church in behalf of "true temperance" and to lawmakers "State and National, in behalf of speedy adoption of moderate regulatory measures to replace the impractical and harmful laws now in force." The board of directors is made up of 41 Episcopal clergymen, all of whom are said to have favored the resolution. The resolution says in one clause that the enforcement of prohibition has been a flat failure. Among the directors were the following Brooklyn and Long Island pastors: Rev. Dr.

John W. Gill, St Andrew's Church; the Rev. Dr. T. Bond Holland, St.

John's Church: the Rev. Dr. E. S. Harper, All Saints Church: the Rev.
