London, Feb 7.-German wireless

negotiations up to February 3, when
long discussions on the question of
representatives Of the Russian west.
ern border states and Poland joining
in the negotiations failed to bring
any result. I'D. A.. Ix.sts{ ...-.
Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki for.
eign minister, while declaring his
readiness to recognize the indepen.
dence and right of self government of
the Polish state, contended that the
fact of foreign occupations prevented
him from recognizing representatives
of that state under existing conditions
and he argued that a state without
either boundaries or king could be
neither state nor abingdon. .
Dr. Won Kuehlmann, the German
secretary of foreign affairs observid
that the negotiations would be facili.
tated if Trotzky would recognize the
independence of the other border
states. i"E'E"#'
Count Czernin, the Austro. Hungar.
ian foreign minister, noted with salts
faction that by Trotzky's recognition
of the existence and independence of
the Polish state the standpoints of
each side appeared to \ have been
brought into greater unison. But he
was unable to admit that the question
whether the existing Polish govern.
ment was; authorized to represent the
Polish state could be submitted for
arbitration to third government.
Both Count Czernin and DR.. Won
Kuehlmann protested that they had
not come to engage imam intellectual
wrestling match, and, at the close, the
German secretary explained that he
was obliged by unavoidable duties to
depart for short time, but said that
