Soviet Government
Officials Says, eyes,
We Have No Russia

London, Dee l-"There is no
Russia says a news article in the
Daily Mail "A strange statement
bat true" Russia has officially
ceased to exist as name in the
mouths Of those who now control
the destinies Of that country.
About three months ago they took
decision which has remained
strangely secret They notified the
various nations with whom they have
trade relations with the title Of their
Government was changed from that
of the Russian Soviet Republic to
the "Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publ(i," c1ntradted AFTER Russian
fashion to U. S. S. r. The word
At the same time the emblems
upon their official nOtepaper, the
crossed hammer and sickle, were
now surrounded by semi-cirele OF
labels hearing the names OF the
various parts Of the country and its
adjacent territories. wherein ''in-
DEPENDENT local Soviet Governments
have been formed such as "ukraine,'
"Azerbaijan," and so on. But not
only these, for the name Bulgaria"
was astonishingly added, the name
of an entirely Independent State!
Fran this it is clear that the
authorities in Moscow regard them
selves as potentially the masters of
everywhere, and not at all limited
by the boundaries Of Russia. Need
less to say the British Government
in it's dealings with the Soviet Gov
eminent has never accepted or used
this predatory title.
The matter Is of some Importance,
rs undoubtedly England is on the
verge of renewing relations with
Russia officially. The Liberal Party
has made it plank or at the least
a small board, in it's election plat
form. The Conservative Govern
ment has had the matter under con-
sideration for some time past, and
was disposed to recognize the Soviet
Government, but with this ma Or
dfernce, that it would only do so
after the Russians had recognized
the principle of preSoviet Russian
Indebtedness, and had agreed to
reinstate or compensate British sub
iects in their Russian property.
