RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Times,
An illustration of the difficulty of getting any accurate in formation concerning what is going on in Russia is shown by a statement appearing in; Near Europe .. This is 'ध weekly magazine, very ably Yun' by a committee on which sit men like Mr. Wickham Steed, Editor of the
Colonel Buchan of the Propaganda Department, and Dr. Seton Watson, who also has official connections. Some months ago New Europe published a state- ment to the effect that the Bolshevik Government had issu- [edx decree nationalising " women, meaning that all women are made prostitutes by law. The statement was widely disse minated, being quoted all over the world. Dr. Harold Willising a strong anti-Bolshevik writer, and a member of the Lloyd George organ, the Daily Chronicle, now writes to New Europe stating that there is no truth in the allega- tion, that no such decree has been published by the Bolshevik' Government, and that the story probably had its origin in the writings of same obscure an- archist organisation. New Europe has been so impressed by this denial on the part of a writer with such authority on the affairs
