OF GIVING MAXIMUM AID TO RUSSIA
Emphasised by British Newspapers QUESTION OF WESTERN LAND DIVERSION CRITICISM OF OFFICIAL ATTITUDE (By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, September 22. “What our military action will be in face of the present peril to Russia need not be discussed, but it would appear that the present is a moment for the utmost legitimate boldness,” says “The Times” in an editorial. “The argument that this campaign will sceriously weaken Germany may be true, but the implications may prove misleading. No other such ally can ever appear in the Old World; no other army that can face Germany’s full might can replace the Red Array if it were overthrown. “Perhaps a final victory can be won even if Russia fell, but the road to it would be long and weary and the world would be miserably exhausted at the end. We therefore must aim to support Russia’s gallant, dogged struggle with every means in our power. We have the satisfaction of knowing that we can now meet demands to which we could not have responded a few months ago, Meet them we must, so far as it is humanly possible.”
The British Press generally criticises Britain’s lack of assistance to Russia.
