The situation which results from such misunderstandings ae these is

as vague as ever. It seems to be the policy of the British Government to continue helping General Denikin with munitions of war after the evacuation of Archangel and Murmansk has been completed. For the rest, we know nothing. But as we have pointed out repeatedly, if there is to be a definite policy towards Russia, it must be a policy of all the Allies. The fatal thing is for the Allies to fail to agree. It would be almost better to have a wrong policy that was unanimous. For the Allies not to make up their minds what to do in face of a gigantic evil like Russian Bolshevism, which threatens not only the quiet but the stability of the whole surrounding world, is to prejudice the future of the League of Nations.
