VIEWS OF LEVINE

Moscow Saturday, March 16--Niko- ali Lenine. the bolshevik premier, and other bolsheviS leaders, in urging rati- fication of the peace agreement with Germany. made no claim that this would insure permanent peace. Ask cd how long a respite might be expect ed, Lenine said that that was impos- sible to answer, as it depended on So many international movements. such as to what extent Germany may sue ceed in Ukrainia and Finland, what Japan would do and also of the war on other fronts and the Russian do- nestle situation
 The Moscow Soviet has decided to organize a local Soviet army. As the peace terms necessitate the demob- ilzation of the new red army and the red guards, the bolsheviki leaders are seeking a plan for the organiza- ton of a new army. The Germans, it is declared, will not hinder this move nient, and it seems likely that here after defense will be effected through local Soviet armies.
 The social revolutionary party or sanization has issued mandate to withdraw it's six members from the cabinet. but pledging support to the bclshevik government in all it's ac- tivities and the party may be regarded as being in conjunction with the bol- shel<ivi, NJ. Steinburg, minister of jus tice, and M. kakegaieff, minister of agriculture. are the most prominent cabinet members thus withdrawn.
