RUSSIAN QUESTION
MR. MACDONALD’S OPINION
GERMAN HANDLING BETTER THAN BRITISH
(Rec. February 7, 10.40 p.m.) Berlin, February 7.
“You Germans handled the Russian question far more cleverly than the English Tories,” says Mr. J. R. MacDonald in an interview with the “Berliner Tageblatt’s” London correspondent “It was my policy at the Foreign Office to help Russia back into line with the Labour movement of the rest of the world, but the Tolies shrieked that I was seeking to bring revolution into England, which was absurd. Then the Tories broke off relations with Russia. If they had not, she would now have been on the threshold of the League of Nations. If the forthcoming on the Continent resulted in a series of Governments of the Left, it would mean a tremendous advance in international politics. The year would show what could be done. Even if we fell, then we would leave behind such good work that our successors would inherit several Locarnos.”
