Sin—I appreciate you do your best to keep your journal up-to-date, but I beg to draw your attention 10 the fact that nevertheless you are using antiquated language regularly.
The word "Russia" to denote former Russian Empire, was abandon ed about 25 years ago, and the name Russian Soviet Federative Socialistic Republic (RSFSR) was in use in its stead for a number of years.
'This finally' was changed to the USSR. (The Union of the Soviet Sociallsiic Republics) and is the only, correct name 10. be used by all who wish fo speak of the former Russian Empire as a whole.
The territory populated by the Russian people forms RSSR, (Mussian Soviet Socialistic Republic). and is just one of the number of auto nomeus republics forming the Soviet The fact that British people continue using the wrong word is not without some political. consequences.
The people of other nationalities fare thus made to believe that British do not wish to notice the existence of all other nationalities forming the Union and that British associate themselves with Russian rationalists (within the Union or outside). who dream that Russia should dominate fand subjugate all other nations forming the Soviet Union.
T trust you will agree that it is highly undesirable to cause dissent amongst the Soviet nations at, this moment, I would also mention that the use of the word "Russia" by British people is not without some repercussion within the British Empire, as Ukrainfan people in Canada (i,200.000 according to Reuter's telegram in your journal some time ago) are at a loss Yo understand why. British people five prominence to one of the many nations forming the Soviet Union thus Ignoring the existence Ukrainian and other republics, T admit that telegraphic agencies might use the word "Russia" to reduce the cost of cabling, but you might not use a wrong word which fs not an official name and as used.

Referring to telegraphic agencies and the cost of cabling, 1 don't see how it comes cheaper to confuse re~ gularly Slovenia. and Slovakia, Lithuanians and Letts, Latvia. to put Bratislava, capital of Slovakia, into the Carpathian Ukraine, to let the Ukraine annex Baku and a goodly part of Caucasus, and numerous other amazing statements in the same style until one is incapable of distinguishing where is the head, where fs the tal of a thing concerned.
