DUTY OF PRESS AS SOVIET PRESS SEES IT
Received Thursday, Midnight. MOSCOW, Jan. 23. Pravda, in printing the British reply to its comment on Mr. Bevin's speech in which the paper alleged he had renounced the Anglo-Russian Treaty of Alliance, asserts in its editorial comment that comparison with the official text of Mr. Bevin's speech does not ' disclose the least difierence hetween them. Pravda claims it gave the right interpretation to a sentence from the speech because Mr. Bevin, in answering the Labour Party dissidents from his policy, had not emphasised that Britain was connected with Russia hy a treaty of alliance in the war and on postwar cooperation and mutual assistance hut in the sentence which Pravda quoted he had said the opposite. Pravda adds: "We did not and do not engage in guessing what Mr. Bevin wanted to say, hut acquaint our readers with what he did say and with its meaning. This is the duty of the press, and Pravda discharged this duty."
