Russia, the great food producing

cowed or demoralized; hundreds of

Churchill, minister Of war, declared
in an article published in the Evening

and letter directed to the British
labor delegation which viste.: Russia
and letter directed to the British
people by Lenine.
Should the Soviet system De estab-
lished in England the war minister
believes that not only would freedom
of the press and freedom of thought
be swept away but the English labor
leaders themselves would "sharc the
fate OF Kerensky, the Mensheviks and
social rvolutionaries in Russis."
The war minister charged Leninc
with having ruined his own county
and said it was natural he should
wish ito have all other nations re
duced to the same level of misery, in
order that his own carnage may be
covered in the general chaos" wrote
Mr.. Churchill.
Russia was on the threshold Of
victory. After all her struggles she
was within reach of the goal. The
Germans sent in Lenine as poison gas

robbed her of the victory she had all
