Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stead's Review, Vol. 48: September 29th, 1917 The Finns are evidently determined to secure their independence but are not actu ally hostile to the Provisional Government, though it has not yet indicated what con cessions it will grant Finland. The Ger mans and Austrians are, meanwhile. Going ahead with their schemes for Poland and thus far the Russian Government has made no offer of independence to the Poles, or produced any constructive policy for the future governance of their unhappy land. That, of course, is not to be wondered at in view of the general upset in Russia, but it is distinctly unfortunate that our enemies should be able to win Polish sympathy by offers of independence, whilst Russia has nothing to say in the matter. It is re ported that the enemy are massing in the Doblrudja with the object of driving through to Odessa, but such an offensive and a further advance on Petrograd will depend entirely upon the political situation in Russia. The only object, other than political, for a German descent on Odessa would be to secure supplies of grain, and our foes must have plenty for many months to come now that the harvest has been reaped. In any case, it is. Doubtful if they would find supplies at Odessa, for all re ports now agree that there is a real shortage of grain in Russia, and that it is not the chaos on the railways alone which threatens the great cities with starvation.
