ALLIED NOTE TO GERMANY.

BOYCOTTING OF BOLSHEVIKS

URGED

LONDON, October 19

The Berliner Tageblatt of the 18th inst., publishes the text of the Council's Note to Germany and neutrals which says that the enmity of the Bolsheviks against all Governments, and their programme of international revolution constitute a grave danger to the national security of all Powers. It would be advisable that all nations desirous of peace re-estab-lishment and social order should unite to resist the Bolshevik government, and therefore the Allies have invited the Governments of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Finland, Spain, Switzerland, Mexico, Chile, Argentine, Columbia, and Venezuela, to invite measures to prevent their subjects engaging in trade, with Bolshevik Russia. In order to ensure the strictest adherence to this policy, permission to depart or enter ports should be refused to every ship for or from Russian Bolshevik ports. Similar regulations should be adopted in regard to all goods destined to reach Bolshevik Russia by any other route. Passports should be refused to all going to or corning "rom Bolshevik Russia. Measures should be taken to hinder banks granting credit to commercial Bolshevik undertakings. Every Government will refuse • its subjects facilities for intercourse with Bolshevik Russia, postally and wirelessly. The Note requests the German Governm-nt to take measures in conformity with the above.
