Other Allied Views

OTHER views in Entente circles during
the week are Of the greatest diver
sity. There are those, for example, who
whisper that Germany may now be willing
to make peace in the West on Allied terms
If allowed free hand in Russia, and there
are those who tacitly agree to this, say
ing that Russia has now forfeited all
claim to consideration at the hands of free
peoples. This is in line with the unsyn
pathetic view Of Premier Lloyd George
early IN January. when he limited that
Russia would now have to look out for her
self. There is, of course, an opposite and
larger group which says that Russia must
not be left to be plundered by Germanv
