EXCHANGE OF
DIPLOMATS
Russd-ltalian
Agreement
LONDON, Mar. 15 (A.A.P,),
xne Times" correspondent in
Naples reports that the agree
ment between the Italian and
Soviet Governments to exchange
diplomatic representatives obvi-
ously creates a precedent of un
usual Interest and importance,
"The fact that the two coun
tries, after being at war, estab
lished friendly relations before
they made peace Is something '
new in international procedure,"
says the corresnondent: "This
Initiative may find imitators, in
that the Yugoslav and Greek Go
vernments appear likely to take
the same line."
In an editorial the "Times"
describes the action of the Rus
sian Government lri according re
cognition to Marshal Badoglio as
surprising, and says: "The estab
lishment of full diplomatic rela
tions with an enemy Government
after an armistice and before the
acceptance of , peace termk is at
least anomalous."
The "Times" adds that the
Russian . Government appears to
have taken and announced its
decision without consulting the
British or American Govern
ment. This procedure was open
to serious drawbacks, as It re- -
vealed, Indeed, proclaimed, to the
whole world that there was lack
ing full co-ordination of policy
which was desirable between the
Allies. . . ' '
