with reference to the Allies the
situation is evidently favorable. Sep
arate peace will not cause a rupture
England has reconclled herself to this
IN advance. The recognition OF us Is
a matter OF the near future. Eng
land and America are playing up to
us separately. A few days ago there
appeared a so-called head Of a COM
merclal mission, Lockhart, with a let
ter from Ltvinoff stating that the
bearer IL an honest man who indeed
fully sympathizes with us. Indeed
he is a subtle, alert Englishman: ex-
presses very liberal views; runs down
his Government. He Is a type OF the
diplomat of the new school. At pres
ent he is not an Official representa-
tive, but de facto he Is an envoy. hav-
ing been sent by the War Cabinet.
After our recognition he will obtain
an official position with us. He prom
ises all kinds OF favors from England.
He explained that II We should not
spoil the situation our recognition Is
a question OF the near future, but
something would have to be coded on
our part. lie said that no Govern
ment could tolerate Intervention in
its internal affairs. II we are going
to raise the British people, II our
agents in England will attempt to
cause strikes, England will not toll

had reference to Petroff's mission.
Concerning the latter specially Lock-

simultaneously Ransome tried TO
persuade Petroff not to go to England.
His Journey In case of n conflict would
put the question OF a revolution In
England on edge, which would be ex-
ceedingly risky. We discussed this
question and decided that our strength
was in attack and that whatever
would happen II would be the. worse
for Lloyd George a Co., and the revo-
luton would be the gainer. We sent
Petroff's passport to be vised. Lock
hart came running TO US. ! Arranged
for an interview with Petrof. Lock-
hart stated that the question had been
referred for decision to London. We
said that Russia represented part Of
the worlds revolutionary movement
and that In this was Its strength. We
and our comrades IN England would
proclaim that this is not a concrete
organisation OF strikes. We explained
the aim OF Petroff's mission. a., the
clesying up OF misundersta ndings be-
tween two nations. He will appeal to
all organs Of the British nation. This
has also been sent by radio.
Lockhart stated that he was very
we'll impressed and promised to tele-
graph advising that the wise should
be granted We await further devel-
