BLOCKADE OF RUSSIA
—4 WAR MINISTER EXPLAINS. NOT THE CAUSE OF STARVATION. THE'EFFECT OF COMMUNISM. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received December 5, 8.5 p.m. LONDUN, December 5. Mr Winston Churchill, in an article in the Sunday Express, replying to Mr Wells' impression of Russia, in which he especially stated that the blockade, not communism, has starved Russia, says: "She is one of the great granaries of the world. One might as well blockade Newcastle against imports of coal as Russia against imports of wheat. The only remedy for Russia's ills is the abandonment of communism." Mr Churchill asks can the cancer repent, or the disease transform itself into health? It would be a miracle, but the road is still open. Let the Bolsheviks show mercy, and they will obtain peace; let them liberate the energies of the people, and they will obtain food; let them observe faith in their internal and external relations, and commerce will revive.
