DIFFICULT RUSSIA

If any nation outside a leader at

in Russia they doubtless will find the
mercurial Russians difficult lot to
, satisfy. They have plenty of ideas
and opinions but lack action.
THE trouble with Russians is that
they believe opinions are achieve
ments," recently said prominent
American who is familiar with Rus
sian affairs. This certainly cnarac-
terizes many of the Russians who
are now waiting in Scandinavia for
something to happen in Russia. They
are criticizing the Allies for failure
to act more speedily in Russia.
Their changeableness is aurpris-
ing The very leaders who were
loudest in denouncing the Brest

and other leaders of the extreme
right who had presented great friend

Germans in an effort to establish un-
