PEASANTS HATE
THE BOLSHEVIKI
Moscow Government Who'll
ly Without Support
From Country

London, Dec. 10.-(Correspondence
Eof the Associated Press s.)-Russian
.swoFkmen and peasants are by no
means united in a movement to
perpetuate a dictatorship OF the
proletariat, according to traveller
who recently arrived here from Rus
sia. Pretense that such is the situa-
tion in Russia is one of the efforts of
the Bolshevik propagandists.
For many months, he says, the
MOSCOW government has been almost
wholly without peasant support for
The peasants have learned that Boil
sheVism in theory and Bolshevism
ir practice are as unlike as day and
night. The people of the Russian VIII
lagos and country districts are dec
Jared to be so bitter against the
Bolsheviki that workmen who are
forced to return to their native viii
lages for food dare not voice BoIshe-
vik doctrine for fear of being killed
by their relatives or former friends.
Is Means Food Requisitions.
I'D To the co,mtrymen in Russia, Boil
shevism now means nothing but food
acquisitions. To him a Bolshevik is
an outsider. armed with a rifle, who
takes grain at prices far below the
market rate.
The peasants ear is no longer open
to Maximalist theories. He cares
nothing for skilful Maximalist argu-
rnents setting forth beautiful social
and economic doctrines. He has tried
Bolshevism for year He has had
much of his grain and other food
stuffs wrested from him by Bolshe-
vik grain crusaders. He knows that
the only remaining peasant Bolshe-
Wiki are shiftless e'er-do-wclls, and
win have nothing to do with them.
& As the peasants make up SIS per
cent OF Russias population their at
ttitude eventually may shape Rus
,gian policy, says the informant. They
control food production, and bread is
the basis OF the present struggle.

When, after brief halt the Presi-

acknowledgements.
Manchester. Dec. 3O.-In Manches-
ter, the great manufacturing mid
land city of England. President Will
son, who arrived here last evening,
found different atmosphere from
that of London. There his time was
absorbed and necessarily. by formal
tiles and official functions. Here
there have been formal events, but
with more democratic air and on a
more democratic scale. Here he
found hospitality which could not
be warmer than that OF London, bur
which brought him closer to the peo..
pie.
There is a strong civic pride in this
metropolis. It's people feel that their
city was signaly honored in being,
chosen from among other English
cities for the Presidents visit.
The lord mayor is a. self-made
man. His home, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson were guests. is in a section
of the city hall, where the mayors
live during their terms of office. It
is d typical English home. The rest
of the Presidents party was quar-
tered at a nearby hotel.

ations on the question of the freedom
Of the seas, and he declared that his
attitude in this matter was approv-
ed by President Wilson.
The premier told the chamber that
now was the time 10 change pilots,
but the deputies gave him a vote Of
confidence by $50 TO 134. Premier
EIemenceau explained the peace sit
uation as it concerned France,
Great Britain and the United States
and his explanations appeared to
satisfy all except the unified Social
lists who repeatedly interrupted him
in manner which President Desch-
anel characterized as indecent.
Premier Clemenceau said that his
conversation with President Wilson
had been profitable although, he add
ed. 81 should not be telling the truth
if said had always been in agree
ment with him on all points"
In summing up his argument for
full confidence and the exercise of
patience by the chamber, the premier
declared:
There win be claims to be set
forth and others which will have to
| be given up. If / mounted the ros-
trum to elaborate the subject, /
would be the worst premier in Eu-
rope. That does not mean we are
not working hard to prepare a line
Of action for the peace congress.
The premier early had expressed
the belief in the efficiency of the old
system of alliances called the "bal-
ance OF power but indicated that
he was not opposed to a league of
nations. Such a league, he said,
might be organized at about the
time the treaty Of peace was COM
pleted.
The morning newspapers generally
approve the premier's speech.
1t is understood that the text of
the speech will be- telegraphed to
President Wilson.
The chamber completed it's consid-
Grafton of the budget at 8 o'clock this
morning. adopting it by an over

and soon afterward retired to their
apartment to rest. The Presidents
days in England have involved great
physical strain. which was apparent
to those near him last evening.
The most important feature of toe
day was the presentation Of the free
dom of the city to Mr.. Wilson with
an address by the President. What
Manchester expected in the way OF a
speech is shown by the fact that S5
ming tes were allotted to 1t.
Speaks to Big Audience

executive OF the United States and
the pressure for invitations was in

Gil foresaw that the President would

lures. At the time the petition in
bankruptcy was filed, Sept. 28, 1917, A.
{. Townley had been for three years
the leader of the Nonpartisan league.
His examinations before the referee,
and later before the court, have had
to do, not with his private estate, but
with the funds of the league, and the
agencies which it has created to carry
out its program. Against his objec-
ttons the bankrupt has been com
PEELED to disclose the amount of such
funds and his connection Herewith.
The amount having been shown to be
large, 1t was next charged that there
was no adequate system of account
ing, and that the inference was justi-
fed that he had betrayed his trust
and had either by the consent of Off
GERS of the league, subject to his in
fluence, or without their consent,
withdrawn large sums belonging to
the league and its subordinate agen-
cies, and had the same hidden in Sc
cret deposits, or investments upon Sc
cret trusts. This was made the basis
of claimed right to examine all the
books, records and files OF the league
and it's agencies to see If some clue
could not be found leading to these
hidden treasures: The search has been
pursued not only with the zeal OF
creditors intent on collecting their
debts, but that of political adversar-
les seeking to discredit a party be-
lieved to be dangerous Detectives
were hired to ingratiate themselves
with the wife Of the bankrupt, ami
they have brought back reports of adj
missions as to such concealed funds.
AS the result of months of following
up these clues by the trustee, the
creditors and their detectives, counsel
for the trustee, state frankly on the
argument at a recent meeting, that
no secret deposit or specific property
held upon trust had been found. The
conclusion Is justified, and the court
so finds the fact to be, that the rea-
son why this hidden treasure has not
been found, is that it does not exist.
THE Nonpartisan league is a polit-
ica1 movement which was started in
1915 in the state of North Dakota to
redress certain alleged grievances OF
farmers in connection with the mar
keting of their products. The move
ment has grown rapidly, not only in
North Dakota but in several other
states. The publishing company and
newspaper plants that are referred to
in the evidence are organs OF the
league, paid r. by its funds, ana es-
