The statement by the Soviet agent in London alleging that the French Government attempted to bring pressure to bear on Foland and Rumania for them to make war on Russia has created soare stir both in London and Paris. It is authoritatively stated that there is no trash whatever in the above statement which is especially heinous in view of France's present unselfish efforts for saccoring famished Russia. The positive guarantees insisted upon that relief would be not diverted from its object and that it be really apportioned to the starving population is probably what angered the Soviet authorities. The suspicion cast by the Soviet on the real purpose contemplated by the mission of inquiry to Russia is preposterous. The international camraission of relief to Russia has to-day invited most of the situated at No. 2, Queen's Road. was formerly nations to send delegates to a meeting in October 6 at Bruxelles explaining Central. at the same time the expediency of first sending a mission of enquiry to Russia.
