LONDON, Aug. 3.-The Sunday
Pictorial, under 4 heading why
Make Mischief" chided Lady Astor,
American-born member of the
House of Commons, for her state
ment at Southport meeting Sat-
urday that the Russians are not
fighting for us, they are fighting
for themselves"
The best one can say about Lady
Astor is that she does not know
what mischievous tongue she has,"
the Pictorial said.
This woman should remember
how strongly she supported the
Municheers before the war-and
keep her mouth shut"
The Daily Herald, in an open
letter to Lady Astor, said in part:
You have acquired over year
a much exaggerated idea OF your
own entertainment value. - Your
statement that the Russians are
fighting for themselves alone is an
insult. We urge you not to
repeat this vulgar intrusion upon
the publc's anxieties."
