Nine-tenths of the population of Russia favour Allied intervention, military and economic. A few divisions of troops arriving in Russia this summer would enable the nation to reorganise to resist Germany. Conditions in Moscow and Petrograd are at their very worst. Men are shot down by Bolshevik agents in order to terrorise the masses. Courts of justice are discontinued, and persons executed and imprisoned without trial.
