There was plenty OF food in Russia,

utilized their control of arms and food
to terrorize and desolate.
In closing the debate the Marquis OF
Lansdowne expressed grave misgivings
over the p~rolCngation of operations, and
said that an honorable termination would
be generally welcomed.
Replying to the of the Mar
quis OF Lansdowne on the position in
North Russia, Lord Curzon strongly con-
demned the suggestion that the British
Government should open negotiations

however, expressed themselves as not
