SOVIET FAILURE.

United Press Association-—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. London, March 6 A striking admission is made by Mr Philip Snowden. Writing in a Labour paper, he confesses that the Soviet Government in Russia has been compelled to abolish local Soviet Councils. He points out that an official order abolishing them admits that the Councils have signally failed to maintain order. They have actually produced grave disorders and caused demoralisation of workmen and industry. Mr Snowden says this decision should be a lesson to others wanting to imitate Russia.
