War Conference Would
Go Long Way Toward

Paris, Dec. 1.-Americas greatest aid
to Russia now would be to assume
in movement for the allies
to re-state their war aims in simple,
language. in the opinion
of Russia's envoy at the inter- allied
conference.
That Colonel House and the Ameri-
can mission back such a form of aid to
the struggling democracy was stated
on the highest authority today.
M. Maklakoff, whom Premier Keren-
sky appointed ambassador to France.
and who sits by courtesy in the inter-
allied conference as Russia's unoffi-
cial representative, told the United
Press today he was hopeful Of the con-
ference approving such a plan of sup
port and of restating the allied aims.
HOW AMERICAN CAN HELP.
How can America best help Rus
sia?" He reiterated, answering the
United Press correspondents question.
First of abby helping the other
allies In their military work. 1t Is inn
possible for America to assist Russia
in a military way at the present time,
Second, America should support
Russia's sane elements in their efforts
to defeat Bolsheviki propaganda. which
asserts this is an 1mperialist war;
This could best be effected by restat-
ing in unmistakable language the exact
aims of America and of the allies.
Third, when Russia establishes q
government, that America resume the
splendid material assistance heretofore
given US.
WILL LISTEN TO AMERICA.
"The second suggestion ! have given
is the most important Of aI--because
Russia win listen tos America. shs
knows Americas unselfish purposes
From highest sources today the
United Press learned that after several
conferences between M. Maklakoff' and
members of the American mission, the
delegates from the United States sym

ference discusses them.
