ANGLO=SOVIET RELATIONS
FACING A COMING FOE. “We in Britain have never concealed cur antipathy to the Communist creed,” said. Lord Cecil, speaking/ in the House of Lords. “All political parties alike have condemned it as utterly alien to those principles'of free democracy for which Britain stands and for which it is now fighting. We are poles apart, both in matters of politics and religion. But Soviet Russia and Britain, so different in all other respects, have today this in common: They are facing the same ruthless foe; they are the objects of the same insatiable ambition; the defeat of either will mean increased peril for the other. To that extent, at any rate, we and Soviet Russia-have a common interest. To ignore that would be folly. It is for this reason that his Majesty’s Government, as the Prime Minister has already announced, has decided to give the Soviet Government all the assistance in our power.”
