to tackle the problem of pacifying a
nation the size OF Russia would be a
physical impossibiity.
The line Of demarcation of the two
opposing schools of thought in Britain
is sharply defined in the official world.
The military element is almost entirely
in favor of continued strong British
action, for the reason that unless the
Bolshevik regime is absolutely crushed,
the possibilities of danger would tend
to increase with the prospect of the
spread of Bolshevik outside of Russia
until the world famed vista of Bolshe
vik principles ranging over Russia,
Siberia, Germany and Austria, and be-
coming almost uncrushablc in dimens
ions.
Lord Rbert Cecil in the course Of a
private conversation yesterday evening,
said:
"The situation is one of the gravest
dangers facing the universe. Europe
is threatened with a possible revival
of mlitarism, under Bolshevik leaders
comparatively few in number, but
eventually welding tremendous and
widespread influence and then becom-
ing militarist, as was the case in the
French Revolution"
His view is reflected in the British
governments renewed refusal of Lit
vinoff's further peace proposals on the
ground that the Bolsheviki constitute
q government neither recognized by
the Allies nor representative of Rus
STA
Against this, as indicated in these
dispatches recently, there is very
strong, increasingly large body of opin-
ion in Britain hostile to further ad-
