If I give that freedom to them — that there should he no interference with j them— I claim the same liberty for j Britain. :I send no enhssaries to j Russia to cause strife. I have -no \ ceils in the Russian trade union ' movement. Then why in France, j Italy and the couhfries striving to j get back on their fe&t, are they be- j ing continually interruptod for politicai purposes and aggrandvsement in | Russia?" "■ j Stating that it had been said there ; were 4,000,000 armed men in RUSSian influenced counrries, Mr. Bevin 1 declared: "Mark my worcis you will fintf when the efforts we are now making in intemational affairs fructifyt there will come respect for eacn otner.
