§ 67. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for War whether General Denikin has issued orders that deserters are to be punished by death and their property confiscated; and whether, in view of the fact that Ukrainians joined the volunteer army to-fight the Bolsheviks and are now being used against the Ukraine, he will make representations to prevent those orders being carried out in the case of Ukrainians?
§ The SECRETARY Of STATE for WAR (Mr. Churchill)The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As 1777 regards the second part of the question, General Denikin is fighting the Bolsheviks and only such individual Ukrainians as adhere either to the Bolsheviks or to Petliura. He is not fighting the Ukrainian people.
