and close relations which appear to
exist between certain Tory leaders
in this country and the leaders of
the white" Russians, who are still
actively engaged in conspiracy
against the government Of their
country.
These documents photographs Of
the originals of which are in the
possession of the Daily Heraldl con-
sist of series of memoranda from
M. Sablin, who still calls himself
Russian Diplomatic Representa-
tive" in London, to his colleagues in
other countries.
The most remarkable Of them is
memorandum, dated August 26 of
last year, in which NJ. Sablin sets
out the history of his relations with
British political leaders during the
past few years.
During all my activity in Lon
don after the revolution" he writes,
81 have used all my strength, and
utilized all possibilities in order to
maintain our friendly relations with
members of the British Government
and parliament, and with various
figures who could help the Russian
cause.
"In the time of the governments
prior to the present, all this gave
very insignificant results, and at
times some of the British ministers
even tried to avoid us for fear of
violating political etiquette towards
friendly nation
"But lately a change has taken
place in this respect and our diplo-
matte representation is slowly re-
gaining effectual rights and effec-
tual recognition on the part of the
British authorities.
"a beginning was made by the
energetic and successful participa-
ton of our representation and of
some White Russians in the election
campaign.
After that very friendly and
trustworthy cooperation was estab-
lished by me with the Minister for
Home Affairs, Sir William JOHNSON
Hicks, who is the most convinced
and energetic enemy of the Bolshe-
viks.
During the general strike many
White Russians offered their ser
vices to the British Government for
the purpose of keeping order and for
performing various work, and some
of them were even beaten up by the
strikers on the streets.
''As | have already informed you,
Sir William expressed to me his sin
cere gratitude for the loyal way in
which the Russians behaved, and
our relations have become even
closer, although outwardly he has
thought it necessary to maintain
proper correct behavior in relations
to the friendly Power
"At present many members Of
parliament are beginning to tire
very much at this necessity for
maintaining such an absurd fiction,
and in the last parliamentary de-
bates on the Russian question a num-
Der of speakers pointed out that
they considered it unnecessary and
unworthy to maintain this masquer-
ade.
Thinks Crisis Coming.
"In general avoid making pro-
phecies. But now, however, / think
that the crisis is coming at last, and
that we should at once take steps
to do what lies in our power in or
der to support the Commander Lock-
er-Lampson campaign.
"We cannot, of course, assign any
considerable sums of money towards
the new campaign, and, indeed, this
would hardly be desirable from the
point of view Of it's possible effect
as well as from the point Of view of
tactics.
However, we can undoubtedly
place at the disposal of the COM
mander much material which can be
utilized by his speakers, announced
at meetings, and published in the
press.
81 have always shared my mate
rails with the commander and other
British friends, and have often had
the pleasure Of seeing how my ma
terial, which not one newspaper ac-
cepted directly from me, appeared
in the press sometimes in slightly
changed form"
Suspicious of Emigrees.
M. Sablin then goes on to make
the remarkable suggestion that as
propaganda works, (which carry the
obvious stamp of the creation of the
White Russian Emigration, meet
with some degree Of prejudice" an
other means should be employed.
IF these works could be COM
pressed and published under the
guise Of intercepted correspondence
