RUSSIAN AND OTHER LAW.
(To the Editor.) Bir, — I have been reading in the “Advocate" a very large amount of reports on the trial of the British engineers in Russia. 1 was particularly interested in your leader on “Russian Law,’’ of April 17, and, as I perused it, T could not help thinking that, could I but' substitute' “ American” for Russian names and phrases, lunV appropriate your leader might be (except for its mildness) towards the brutally tyrannical action of Anglo-Saxon law towards workers and out-of-works in I'.S.A. But, of course, 1 can only get this information from American papers. Also, the only newspaper 1 have come across that has had the courage or inclination to print the horrors of Polish law against minorities, is the “Manchester Guardian.” The injustice and irregularities of the Russian law which you quote so extensively are very mild indeed compared with the two countries 1 mention. But, of course, they are intensively Anti-Bolshevik, f am, etc., WM. H. CHETHAM.
