EXECUTION WITHOUT TRIAL
SOVIET MURDER POLICY BRITISH LABOUR PROTEST By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Wednesday. The Riga correspondent of “The Times” says the newspapers there have published telegtaiiis from Messrs. G. Lansbury and J. Maxtou, British Labour M.P.’s, addressed to
Rykoff, President of the Soviet Union, requesting a cessation of executions without trial. The reasons given by the senders of the telegrams is that the executions are affecting friendly British Labour men. Rykoff replied saying that although the Soviet highly esteemed the British workers it would be a betrayal of the revolution if the authorities did not take thenecessary precautions of shooting land-owners, monarchists and nobles who were actively plotting against the Government. These measures had shocked the bourgeoise, but the Soviet was beset by difficulties and menaces which were underestimated in Britain. The correspondent says all the newspapers in Russia now contain daily records of death sentences and executions which, obviously, are not diminishing.—Times.
