WARNING TO CANADA
RUSSIAN NEGOTIATIONS EXPEDITING HER OWN RUIN (Floe. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received Feb. 27, 2 p.m.) MONTREAL, Feb. 26. If Canada were to accept the Russian overtures now before the Dominion Government and exchange machinery for Soviet coal and gold, she would, in the opinion of -Sir Herbert Bolt, simply be expediting her own economic ruin, since site would be supplying Russia with the means of becoming a more formidable competitor than ever. The veteran president of the Royal Bank of Canada emphatically said in one of his rare newspaper interviews: “We should not allow Russian coal or wood to penetrate our markets. It is produced by conscript labor which is worse than convict labor. The Soviet allots a number of workers to agriculture and lumber enterprises, and says. ‘Unless you work we will give you no food.’ ”
