RED RUSSIA

BLUSTER OR. THREAT. MONSTROUS \ r IEAVS. BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received Aug. 5, 8.55 a.m. LONDON, Aug 4. The Riga correspondent to the Times says: In what he himself calls “a fierv greeting to the -new graduates of the military staff college” M. Zinovieff denounces the London Conference. He declares that Mr. MacDonald and M. Her riot are fools who imagine peafce possible without a proletarian revolution. M. Zinovieff assured the young officers that such pacifist efforts would inevitably lead to another world conflagration, in M’hich Russia’s revolutionary forces would finally bury capi“You must foster among Russia s armed youth the' greatest hatred of capitalism—hatred such as makes the eye s sparkle.” M. Zinovieff’s heroics coincide with the socalled week of anti-war protest, in which the favourite slogan is: “The Red army’s mission is to overthrow the Governments in other countries.” Neighbouring States are growing uneasy, and are wondering if it is merely bluster or a serious threat.—Times.
