RUSSIA ABANDONED. MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN'S LETTER TO THE SOVIET,

In a separate Note to M. Rakovsky, regarding the Zinovieff letter, the Foreign Office state that M. Rakovaky undertook to declare, apparently upon internal evidenco alone and without allowing time for reference to Moscow, that the Zinorieff letter was a gross forgery. In support of this, M. Rakovsky alleged that the Com munist International never described itself, in its own circulars, as the Third Com munist International, that M. Zinovie

Executive Committee of the Communist International" and that the whole bontante are a tissue of absurdities.

CALO, November 23rd.
EVIDENCE OF PROPAGANDA.
The pronouncements of Zinovieff, broad- cast throughout the world, are themselves sufficient evidence, of the propaganda, in which the Third International continually indulges, and this system in the view of His Majesty's Government is inconsistent with the solemn undertakings of your Govern- ment.
"In a Note on October 24th, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald observed:
"No body who understands the con- stitution and relationships of the Com munist International will doubt its i timate connection and contact with the Soviet Government. He further obser- i ved 'no Government can ever tolerate an arrangement with a foreign Government whereby the latter is in formal diplomatic relations of a correct kind with it, whilst at the same time, a propagandist body- organically connected with that foreign Government-encourages and even or- ders, subjects of the former to plot and plan revolutions for its overthrow.'
This is true and the Soviet Government would do well to weigh carefully the com sequences of ignoring this pronounce ment.
