With this threat blazoned, the British note went on to asperse individually and by name five officials of the Soviet Government. Example: Georg Tchitcherin, Soviet Foreign Minister, was described as possessed of the "delusion . . . [and] obsession, which is as illogical as ill-founded . . . that Great Britain is continually plotting against the Union of Socialist Soveit Republics...

It has been widely rumored that the Soviet program of Communist subversion in China will be altered to a policy of attempted co-operation with the first Chinese government which shall emerge strong enough to contract an alliance. As if to forecast this turning of China from Western . Europe to Russia, the present unstable Peking Government recently abrogated the ChinoBelgian trade treaty of 1865.* These developments, admittedly straws bending...
