RUSSIA AND DISARMAMENT
TU Tlifc KUITOH UP TIIK I'll ESS. Sir—lt was with some astonishment (hat I read the statement on the European war situation by Lieutenant-Col-onel Sir Godfrey Dalrymple-White, especially with regard to Russia. His statements disregard the facts of the situation completely. Russia came to the Disarmament Conference with proposals for complete disarmament, then for partial disarmament, then lor limitation of arms. She initiated the non-aggression pact, and then dennea aggression, and has signed nop-aggres-sion pacts with some nine of her neighbours. Germany refused; Japan refused; and I still think England has not signed one with her. She has stated officially that she does not want an inch of any other country s lanci,
but will defend her own. Will any European country or Japan make the same statement officially, and act up Germany and Japan refused Why' Both are arming feveiishly, hence the increase in the Red army Russia has been, invaded by armies from both countries since 1917. so lias good reasons for arming herself against them.-Yours. HARLE March 6, 1935.
