Bolshevism at Work

The British Treaty MOSCOW HOPEFUL OF RATIFICATION. CONSERVATIVE APPROVAL PREDICTED, By Cable—Pre* • Aeeodatlon—Copyrlght.l (Received 4. 8.55 a.m.) London, Nov. 3. “The Times” Moscow correspondent says flhat Moscow still professes to believe the Anglo-Soviet treaty will be ratified. “The Soviet Government’s growing influence in world politics, and Britain’s own economic interests, will compel even the Conservative Government to take this step,” declares the newspaper “Izvestia,” which declines to accept the result of the British election as ruling the treaty out of court. “Not only the British proletarian masses, but also a considerable part of the bourgeois© understand the necessity for an agreement with the Soviet Government; therfore in some form or other this treaty will be ratified, even by the new Conservative administration.” —(“Times”). PROPAGANDA FROM BERLIN. A POLICE ROUND UP. SEIZURE OF ARMS AND BOMB*. (Received 4, 8.55 a.m.) London, Nov. 3. The “Daily News” Berlin correspondent states that the police, spurred bv foreign complaints that the Bolsheviks are increasingly using Berlin as the headquarters for world-wide pro. paganda, made a huge round-up. They arrested forty leaders of what is called a “military group,” secretly assembled in a cellar. They raided the houses of those arrested and seized quantities of arms and bombs. It is believed moderate Communists anonymously supplied the information, enabling the coup. The Communist organ connects the arrests with the Zinovieff letter.— (Sydney “Sun” cable).
