BRITAIN & RUSSIA
INFLUENCES ON RELATIONSHIP. Obtuse prejudice has . influenced the relationship between Britain and Russia more than it should, and signs that the British Government has come to realise the value of closer contact with Moscow are very welcome, says the “Spectator” in comment on the recent British trade mission in Moscow. Russia is evolving in her own way, and it was for some years a bloody and brutal way. But we British are concerned with Russia’s external rather than her internal policy, and since 1921 she has unquestionably not merely maintained a peaceful attitude herself, but been a factor for peace in Eastern Europe. Internally, moreover, if the situation has been rightly assessed, the era of purges is over, and the country is pursuing an increasingly normal path of development. There is every reason why Anglo-Russian contacts should be strengthened in London, at Moscow and at Geneva.
