 The paper contends that it is neceS- sary to press forward to the negotia tons and name conditions of peace for Germany and determine the fu tnre of Russia.
 "Only swift decisions by the alies.' it says, twill enable Germany to re sume something like her normal in- dustral life and secure the survival of q government capable of executing the conditions of peace. Delay means anarchy and anarchy in Germany is fraught with greater perils for the world than anarchy in Russia. The condition of Russia is matter upon which MT. Wilson's voice can carry greater weight than any other He has no material considerations to in- fluence him and no question of bond holder will affect his judgment. He presumably has full knowledge of the facts-which the people of this coun- try have not + + + and a straight forward declaration from him that the allies are taking the only course open to them would dispel misgiVings which Viscount Miners statement yes ! terday left unalayed,"

"it is per- fectly certain, if the future peace is to be really founded on permanent bas- is, there must be closest cooperation between the two great English speak ing powers.

 London, Dec. 20.-The London cor respondent of the Manchester Guard ian suggests that President Wilson's sudden determination to come to Eng land is due to his desire to consult the British government regarding the Russian situation before the prelimin- aries to the peace conference. The cor respondent points to the presence in London of former Premier kerenslly and Paul N. Milukoff, former Russian foreign minister and leader of the Constitutional Democrats. He also calls attention in regard to Wednes- l, days statement by SViscounti Milner, the secretary for war, on the Russian situation, which, he says, was levi dently intended to prepare the public for events to come.

It is eX- pected that the German delegates will then be present for the first time. It is pointed out that this is not a negotiat- ed peace, but a victorious peace based on virtual unconditional surrender, in which the enemy has been compelled to give up all demanded, the main purpose of the preliminary conference beginning early in January is to ar range a common front for the peace congress.
 For that reason the conference going on between the president and Premier Orlando of Italy and later with Premeir Lloyd George in London have an important bearing on this preliminary adjustment.
