Can't Be Talked Out.

“We have not yet realised,” said Mr. G. B. Shaw early in May, “that the Russian revolution has come to stay, and consequently we have lost a magnificent commercial chance of getting a great trade. The building up of Russia is taking place without our capital and machinery.” G.B.S. thus taunts commercial Britain with losing a commercial opportunity. He implies that British political distrust of the Soviet's political methods has not prevented the politicalcommercial development of Soviet Russia. This national unit, embracing huge parts of Europe and Asia, gathers strength in spite of foreign spotlights on its weak points. The inference is that there are various strong points, not spotlighted. Russia will not be talked out.
