NEW WAR SCARE
ATTITUDE IN RUSSIA
HEAR OF FOREIGN ATTACKS
LONDON, 16th February.
The "Daily Herald" describes th» Sergius interview as a dramatic and unequivocal reply to the religious-per-secution stories.
Tho paper's Moscow correspondent says that the Bolsheviks aro very sensitive when an outside Power interferes with >. their domestic affairs. A British or other foreign demarche would only provoke a rejoinder like Litvinoff'g in. connection with Manchuria.
Russians recall that the protests, against the execution of ths prelate Butkcvitch in 1923 served as a preliminary for the Curzon ultimatum, and they ask whether religion is not being exploited in order to stir up antiRussian feeling in Britain.
Meanwhile the British campaign, recent events in Paris and Berlin, and the rupture with Mexico under the. United States' influence, are all augmenting a new war scare, the belief spreading that a united anti-Soviet movement is developing throughout Europe. There is a fear of foreign attacks via Poland, Rumania, or China.
