LORD NUFFIELD’S OFFER
Willing to Pay Communists’ Fares to Russia. LONDON, May 15. Two Oxford University students and an unemployed cotton-worker who were selling a Communist publication outside the Morris motor-car works met Lord Nuffield (formerly Sir William Morris), the owner, and tried to convert him. When Lord Nuffield laughed, they replied, “ People laughed li»ke that before the Russian revolution.” Lord Nuffield thereupon agreed to pay the fares of the three to Russia, provided that they promised to stay in that “ Elysium.” “ Lord Nuffield told us,” said one, that if we convinced him we 'were right he would turn the whole of his works over to us.”
