British Said to Have Muzzled Soviet Envoy

Paris dispatch cites Liberté claiming Krassine the Bolshevik trade minister was muzzled before entering England and compelled to disclose statements to a correspondent. Krassine allegedly boasted that Soviet arms and campaigns strengthened their regime as Entente pressure caused mass peasant discontent and harsh requisitioning across Russia. Poland is urged toward peace while Soviet Russia asserts readiness to endure prolonged war and rejects world revolution under capitalism.
