We have put together a number of telegrams concerning Russia under -one heading, not that any one is particularly startling but because the whole collection presents so, extraordinarily confused and confusing a picture. We have the Poles apparently victorious in one direction and flying in another. We have the Soviet calling out for help for the Fatherland against Poland, but invading Persia and preparing invasions of Afghanistan. We have the British Labour delegation denouncing the iniquities of the blockade as responsible for all Russia's evils. (Considering Russia's richness as a food-producing country, this certainly sounds absurd). But what are we to make of this jumble of contradictions? What can we believe of Russia? And what particular attitude of strength would Prince Firouz of Persia recommend without recourse to arms? The whole position seems utterly hopeless.
