In connexion with extremist papers in this country, we note

the following answer by the Under-Secretary of the Home Office in the House of Commons on Wednesday :-

" The attention of the Home Secretary had constantly been drawn to Bolshevik propaganda in this country. It fell under three heads :-

Payment of salaries to Communist officials, ranging from £5 to £10 a week. Subsidies to the extremist Press, and Free distribution of revolutionary literature.

An accurate estimate of the amount spent could not bo givon,

but in December last a Bolshevik agent said it exceeded £23,000 a month."
