DENIKIN REFUGEES.
REMOVAL FROM MESOPOTAMIA TO VLADIVOSTOCK. It has been stated, first by Politiken of Copenhagen, which has become a regular channel for Bolshevik diplomacy, that Great Britain was lately responsible for sending 800 Denikin troops a»t Vladivostock with hostile intent against the Soviet Government. It is, perhaps, worth stating the facts as given officially in London. The British authorities in Mesopotamia had been supporting some *OOO Denikin refugees, soldiers, women and children, who had reached Mesopotamia mainly from Persia and Turkestan. It was decided some time ago that we could no longer shoulder the burden, and we approached the Soviet Government with a request that those refugees should be allowed to return to Russia. Moscow, could not see its way to grant "an amnesty. It was therefore decided by the British authorities to ship the refugees to Vladivostock, and about 600 gone. It is not true that they were armed.
