PANIC MONGERS
RUSSIA AND BRITAIN SOVIET LEADERS’ VIEW By Cable.—Press A ssociation.—Copyright LONDON, Sunday. The Riga correspondent of the “Times” says that, although warscare speeches are numerous, unusual interest attaches to the utterances of the acting-Commis-sar of War, Unschlicht. The latter is the notorious chief of the Cheka. He is replacing Voroshiloff, who is on furlough. Muklovich, commander of the Red Navy and military councillor, has also made interesting speeches. Both men dwelt on the imminence of war. Muklovich said the first danger was the British Fleet in the Baltic. The most pressing military task was to keep Russia’s chief enemy—Britain —from the Russian shores. The Red fleet was small but strong. Unschlicht repeatedly asserted that war was already in sight. These utterances have caused many people to buy up provisions privately. The Soviet leaders feel that the panic must be allayed by convincing the masses that Russia is prepared for war and will adequately provide the citizens with necessities. —“Times” — Sun.
