MILITANT SOVIET
ADDITIONAL REPLY TO POPE APPEAL FOR FUNDS FOR GAB WARFARE Riga, March 29. The Soviet is organising an additional reply to the Pope in the form of an appeal to trade unions to subscribe a fund to develop chemical warfare from aircraft. General Budenny, lecturing at the Communist Academy at Moscow, emphasised that cavalry were not obsolete for the International proletarian revolution. On the contrary, the Soviet intended to use Red cavalry on a large scale not only for international wars, but for civil wars abroad. [A Mass of Expiation was offered a few days ago by the Pope at the Apostle’s Tomb In St. Peter’s for the profanation of the Church and offences against the Majesty of God in Russia, and was attended by huge crowds. As the Mass started, the bells In every church in Italy tolled In protest to the Soviet. The Pope was borne to the Cathedral on a raised chair carried by six men preceded by clergy and officials of the College of Cardinals, and his arrival was announced by blasts on silver trumpets.]
