Mr. Churchill on Friday week, on the motion for the

adjourn- ment of the House of Commons over Whitsuntide, made a statement on the Russian operations, in which, he said, our part was but small North Russia, he hoped, would soon be able to defend itself. We were about to withdraw from the Caucasus. We had only two battalions in Siberia to lend moral support to Admiral Koltchak at Omsk. Our total camellias in Russia since the Armistice numbered three hundred and twenty-three, We had supplied munitions to the value of over £20,000,000 to Admiral Koltohak and General Denikin.
