Politics: Mrs. Stan Harding, a well-known English journalist and artist, who had for some time prior to the Spring of 1920 been the Berlin correspondent of a London daily, at that time became a staff correspondent of a New York paper and was sent to Russia. When she entered the country in June she was immediately arrested as a British spy and was kept in various Moscow prisons until the following December, when she was released. It was reported that her arrest and detention had been due to the accusations made against her by an American woman journalist. In 1923 the London press, led by Truth, began a campaign urging the Government to demand compensation from the Soviet Government for her imprisonment, and in November of that year a resolution to that effect was adopted by the British House of Commons. Very good. Faint wear. Slight marking of covers.
