CONFISCATION DEMANDED
FARMS CONTROLLED BY NUNS. SELF-SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.) ("TIMES” CABLES.; Received 12.20 p.m. to-day. LONDON, May 13. The Riga corespondent of “The Times’’ says that Communist organisations insist that Moscow should confiscate a number of farms conducted by four nuns communities in the central provinces, which have been subsisting on their own labour since 1918. The Soviet originally granted the farms credit as* a model establishment. Communists complain that the local soviets refuse “to remove these blots. The nuns pray more than ever. They pray before sowing and after harvest, they pray all time.” Their religious influence on the Peasantry is allegedly most harmful. The Pravda declares that it is time to give these counterrevolutionary nests another shaking.
