KERENSKY AND THE SOVIET
END COMING! VIEW OF FIRST MILITARY DICTATOR. AN AERO CONTRACT.
CABLE—PRESS ASSN- —COPYRIGHTLondon, March 6. French newspapers, after investigating in Russia, declare that • the Soviet has concluded a contract with a German group of aerial designers and manufacturers, which is developing on a large scale, enabling tho Germans to evade tho Treaty provisions. Newspapers regard this as a most serious menace. They believe the Germans are taking advantage of facilities to evolve giant metal troopcarrying aeroplanes. The idea of a Red Army of the air is said to greatly appeal to the Soviet.
The “Echo de Paris” declares that one of the factories in charge of the Germans employs 1000 workmen. '“Le Journal’s” Berlin correspondent reports that official circles fear the outbreak of strikes. A new revolution like Ivapps is spoken of. Butchers,- carpenters, transporters and metal workers are concerned.
Germany is alarmed at the birthrate, which has fallen from 29 in 1913 to 25.6 last year. Tho death rate fo. the same period increased from 16.8 to 18.5. Berlin’s population in 1922 had declined 4000 since tho war. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. Helsingfors, March 6. M, Kerensky, interviewed, said the downfall of the Soviet was certain. It will be brought about by the workmen in the towns and the army, probably in violent manner. The Government and people are strangers to each other. Since Moscow has become the Russian capital, the Baltio has lost its vital interest for Russia, which probably } would not object if Finland joined Sweden.—A. and N.Z. Gable.
