FURTHER DEMANDS

SOVIET’S INFLUENCE WIDENS CONTROL OF BALTIC STATES (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 30, 11 a.m.) i STOCKHOLM, Sept. 29 1 The Tidningen, in an editorial, < says the reduction of Estonia’s status to a Russian vassal state creates a 1 wholly new situation in the Baltic. It is a step towards the transformation of power conditions in Europe. The consequences cannot be foreseen, but the Baltic States are in one blow converted to the Russian sphere of influence. Estonia as a vassal state implies that Latvia will be paralysed and robbed of all trade freedom, and Lithuania will follow. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 29 The National Tidende says that Berlin observers are of opinion that Russia will not only gain specified advantages but virtually will control Estonia’s military and economic life. Russia is now demanding from Latvia not only economic concessions but veiled control of the country’s affairs. From Rumania Russia shortly will demand the whole of Bessarabia from the Polish frontier to the Black Sea. From Turkey she is claiming control of the Bosphorus and the suspension of the treaty with Britain. In return for Germany’s goodwill on these points Russia has agreed to a new alliance, to which all the States over which Russia and Germany can jointly exercise control will compulsorily be attached. This does not exclude Scandinavia.
