“Whether or not France ami
England like it, Russia in the fu-
ture will continue to pursue its
own policy of neutrality and no-
participation,” the broadcast, made
in both the German and English
languages, said.
It was noted, however, that Rus-
sian broadcasts pointed at domes-
tic consumption included
news from allied sources
from German.
Accusing France and England
of trying to violate the indepen-
dence of a neutral nation, the
broadcaster declared:
"Blood is being shed in a coun-
try where peace had reigned for
more than 200 years. Next comes
Sweden. Britain and Tance are
doing everything they can to drag
it into the war and are considering
what other neutral countries could
be used in the same way.
“The actual seizure of countries
