Churchill aid to czarists alleged in secret document
London July 3 Newspapers friendly to the Bolshevik camp publish a secret document dated June 18 alleging Churchill plotted with czarist officials to aid anti-Bolshevik forces in Russia. The claim says Churchill used Red Cross cover to send volunteers to Archangel and pledged Britain’s full support to Kolchak and Denikin, with Golovine acting on his orders. The document is poised to fuel attacks on Churchill in Parliament and the press.
