RUSSIAN BUTTER
SHIP WITH FULL CARGO LONDON, June 28. Another Soviet dumpers’ ship, loaded down to her Plimsoll’s mark, came up the Thames yesterday and dropped anchor above London Bridge. Her flag, the hammer and sickle on a red ground, fluttered defiantly in the breeze. Ami no wonder. The vessel, the 4000ton Smolny, from Leningrad, had in her holds 900 tons of Russian butter. It is one of the largest consignments of Russian butter since the embargo was placed on Russian goods coming into the country. The Russian butter has come in under special license from the Board of Trade, one of the conditions of which is that a portion of the purchase price must have been paid before the embargo was put on a couple of months ago. Russia is finding it fairly easy to dump her butter and produce into Britain in spite of the embargo. Since the ban was imposed 3000 tons of Russian butter have been landed apart from yesterday’s cargo.
