The appeal advises stronger organi- zation’ of the struggle to bring about revolutionary success east and west. It holds Lord Curzon, the British for- eign secretary, responsible as the chief inspiration of the entente effort at Lausanne to prevent a Russo-Turkish rapprochement and adds with refer- ence to the recent British note: “Curzon demands that we shall not support the movement for liberty in India and Eg¥pt but such propaganda- by-action as the shooting of Vorove- sky has done more for the East than it would be possible for the third in- ternationale to do.” REPORTS DISAPPOINTING.
