MAILED FIST OF SOVIETISM
GRIM FATE OF COSSACK PEASANTS United Press Association—Be Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received July 25, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 24. The Riga correspondent of “The Times” states that food difficulties again occupy the forefront in the Soviet’s internal problems. It is stated that a gigantic attempt to militarise agriculture, involving martial law, and the enlistment of the whole male population into labour gangs, resulted in the high-spirited Cossack peasants resisting the Government, who thereupon sacked and burned villages, summarily shot the leaders and fugitives, and transported trainloads of victims to the Archangel timber region and to the Siberian forced labour camps.
