With your support we will clear out our enemies.” The supposed facts go hack to .1925 and allege that (lie spy Steinberg, shot on (ho frontier, was really a British Air Force captain with personal instructions from Mr Churchill.

Another charge mentions .Mr While, of the British Consulate at Moscow, in connection with' the instigation of the Kremlin explosions, while "There is a' long list of suggestions regarding bombs of British and French origin, also as to Finnish and Esthonian inoendiarists’ agents in Britain.
