There has been in consequence con-

practically all of the Allied nations
during the first few months OF the war

Defence Council Plans
New Publicity Policy

Washington, July ga plan for a
national publicity organization here to
supplement the work Of the Creel
bureau is now under consideration by
officials Of the Council Of National De-
fence. IL is proposed 70 have CEN
trail publicity committee in Washing
ton directly responsible 70 Director
Clifford of the Council of National De-
fence. This committee is 70 be COM
posed of representatives Of the pub
LEFTY committees of the several state
councils Of national defence. as well as
several other publicity organizations
created 70 advance various phases OF
the war programme.
Among the latter organizations men
toned in this connection are the Board
for Historical Service, New York; the
New Republic News Service, organized
by Willard Straight, Of New York; the
Boston Writers War Committee and
the intelligence committees of various
leading colleges and universities.
Publicity Work Hampered
For some time there has been an
impression among officials Of the
Council Of National Defence and CT
the state councils that the Committee
on Public Information, OF which George
Cresl is chief, was not satisfactorily
meeting the publicity needs Of the
government. While there has been
little disposition among these officials
20 criticize adversely the work Of the
Creel bureau. nevertheless, il has been
the opinion that the work OF the Com
mittee on Public Information was con-
siderably eircumScribed by the prcju-
dlces that have developed against II
both among members Of the press and
members Of Congress.
In consequence. therefore, II is now
the plan Of officials Of the Council Of

"No one can rightly be gloomy ovei

present government grow strong, be-
cause such strength would ultimately
mean the destruction Of the labor die
tatorship set up by the council. Con-
sequently, il is criticising and curtail-
ing the power of the government, az
in the cases Of General Korniloff and
Foreign Minister Miliukof. The Pro
visional Government is thus placed in
an impossible position. which makes its
resignation imperative.
If all the Cabinet have not resigned
yet il is because of the ministers pa

anarchy as long as possible. On this
the council is depending.
But how long can the governments
patience continue? There are signs
that it is giving out already. To-day

Lvof or Paul Miliukoff will retire,
leaving the head of the colossal Rus
sian ship Of state without a guide.
Anarchy is clearly threatening the
new Russia. Unless the Council of
Labor Deputies awakes Immediately
and realizes the full extent Of the peril
of its recent action in refusing 10 enter
into a coalition Cabinet, disaster will
overtake the youthful republic of East
ern Europe. Civil war, pogroms, local
counter revolutions are sure TO follow
and make the hitherto almost blood
less Russian revolution one of the
bloodiest in history.

The new Russia Is in danger Of
breaking up.
This is the meaning Of the resigna-
ton Of General Kornilof, Petrograd
n-nandant, and Alexander Guchkof,
Var Minister. Only prompt pstriotic
acton on the part Of the Council OF
Worknen's and Soldiers Delegates can
save free Russia from destruction.
The Councils attitude toward the
Provisional Government is such as to
undermine all popular confidence in the
latter body. The Council, which is the
real power in the nation, refuses to
participate in the government and at
he same time refuses 10 give it its &C
tive support.
There is no surer way TO bring an
srchy. The council INDUCES IN Chi
merical schemes, ignoring actual con-
diiions which demand its whole-heart-
ed aid Had the council pursued its
universal peace plans while doing some
constructive work. the situation might
not be so critical. But the extreme
radicals composing the council are
working not only for world peace. but
FOR a relaxation of Russia's national
efforts in the war and, what is more
important, for the weakening and isola-
ton Of the Provisional Government.
