"Bullitt got hold of documents in

Refers to Kolchak.
Referring to the general question
of Russia, the premier referred to
the operations of Admiral Kolchak
and emphasized the great distances
and the difficulty of England help
ing kolchak.
There are countries" he de-
clared. "in a much better position
to help Kolchak than we. These
powers are next door. They are in
the alliance. I do not wish to be
considered as criticizing them, but
if there has been failure it is not Our
failure"
Pointing out that nobody knew
what central Russia wanted and
that any attacks upon bolshevisnl,
carried beyond a certain point, had
failed, the premier declared that
with Great Britain's own burdens
it was quite impossible to go financ-
ing civil war in Russia indefinitely.
Own Country First.
"Our own country is our first
concern" he said. "and there is no
surer road to bolshevism at home
than financial bankruptcy. We have
contributed more to anti-bolshevism

boast of that because it was an obi

portions of the Densmore report on the
Mooney case expungcd to meet objec-

invectives and accounts of immoral
happenings, and that work on it would
be stopped until the worst parts were
stricken out.

Speaker after he had consulted authori-
ties and learned that no other way
could be found to print the complete
document.

ernment leader in the upper house.
The Lords passed the peace treaty
and the Anglo-French treaty through
all stages. In the course of the dis
cussion Viscount Bryce, former Am
bassador at Washington, deprecated
holding the trial of the former Ger
man Emperor in London.
Baron Buckmaster said there we're
grave reasons why the government
ought not to pursue any further the
project of trying the German war lord
1t certainly was uniting, he do
clared, to ask an English judge to sit
on such tribunal to administer a
law he does not know by procedure
and which never has been defined, in a
court he does not control.
In his reply Earl Curzon said he
thought the Kaiser in exile in no way
comparable with Charles or Napoleon
He was unable to imagine that a man
who had ignominiously fed his coun-
try could be turned into martyr or
6 hero by trial, while his continual
presence near the German border might
be a political danger.
1t might be. however, that the trial
would not be held in London. No final
decision has been reached, and the
chances of the trial becoming a spec
tacular show and disturbing public
opinion and the daily national life
we're competent and important con.
siderations. Even if the trial were with
ir the shores of Britain it by no means
followed that London would be the
