Messrs. KAMENEFF and KRASSIN, the Soviet envoys, were in the Distinguished
Strangers' Gallery during the PRIME MINISTER'S speech on Poland last week.
Hence these tears:--
"In conversation they seem to betray only a limited acquaintance with
English, but every word of Mr. Lloyd George's utterance seemed
intelligible to them. Not only did they follow him with eager interest,
but often with animated comment."--_Evening Standard_.
"The two did not exchange a single remark during the whole of the
Premier's speech." _Evening News_.
"Krassin could follow every word of Lloyd George. His colleague doesn't
speak or understand English, so Krassin every few minutes leaned over
and whispered a translation into the other's ear."--_Star_.
"The Soviet envoys, especially M. Krassin, seemed somewhat restless,
and appeared to take more interest in the scene than in the speech, but
this I heard attributed to their difficulty in following the words of
the Prime Minister."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
