In . Southern Russia General Denikin holds little more now than

the coast districts of the Black• Sea. No doubtwhat policy is to be adopted by .the Allies towards Russia .will again be discussed by Mr. Lloyd George in Paris. We hear -less adulation than formerly expressed for Soviet rule by Labour leaders here. And no wonder 1 -The. truth is already only too well. known that. Lenin is a dictator of dictators, and that the manual workers under his rule are little better than serfs. They are not allowed to organize ; they are not allowed to. strike ;, they have to do what work they are told to do,, and to accept payment at whatever rates the Soviet authorities impose.
