Premier Baldwin's brief speech to the House of Commons on Tuesday left little doubt as to whether Britain or Soviet Russia had committed the breach of confidence. A police raid on Soviet House in London secured conclusive evidence that the Russian trade officials, under cover of commercial activities, had used their facilities as a center for the Red International, that vaguely sinister organization devoted to military espionage and subversive activities throughout the Empire, and North and South America as well. Communist agitators were trained on ships of the Russian trading companies with a view to subsequent service on British...
What effect, if any, the break will have on Senator Borah and others who advocate American recognition of the Soviet remains to be seen. As far as the general public is concerned, however, it can have but one result; to strengthen the feeling that the Russian Government is not yet to be trusted.

Seldom has the complete inversion of Russia's civilization been more vividly sketched than by the Baron, who remained in Russia until 1920. Of all Russians he appears to despise most Alexander Kerensky (né Kirbitz), calls him the "Grand Eunuch of the Revolution . . . puppet [of the Soviet leaders] . . . seemed more like a . . . girl . . . selling herself to the first person she meets...
