PARIS. Feb 16 William English
Walling, the Socialist author and sec
retary Of the American Social Demo
cratic League. said to-day;
The sudden outburst Of wrath
against the league OF nations from the
Paris Socialists and the syndicalist
press before the ink had dried on the
Wilson project indicates a plan of &C
ton between the Berne Socialist Labor
Congress and the German government.
Each and every point Of the Ger
man governmental policy stated by
Scheidemann was adopted at Berne.
Mr.. Wilson declares himself wholly
satisfied with the league project where
upon the French Socialists and Syndi =
callsts screech that the plan is a com
pletc betrayal of the Wilson PRINCIPLES.
There is no longer any doubt that the
latter are working in agreement with
the Socialists controlling the German
government
Their refusal to repudiate Boil
shevlsm at Berne demonstrates the
Willingness OF these unspeakable dema-
goECes 10 utilize Rolshevism for the r
own purposes. Moreover, the Berne
Congress established the principle Of
the open door, meaning that the six
Socialist parties which have gone over
TO Bolshevism viii be admitted to the
next conference IN April
THE propaganda possibilities Of this
new Socialist internationale thus CON
stituted are infinitely superior to any
thing ever possessed by the German
general staff, and its entire strength
viii be directed against the league Of
nations plan. Thus that plan viii be
subjected to a frontal attack by the
Germans and a rear attack by the So
clalst allies of the Germans IN Eu-
rcpe and America
Here is the first practical test Of
Mr.. Wilson's influence upon Europe's
working classes Now it will be seen
whether popular acclaim will serve him
and the league Of nations. or whether
the Socialists have succeeded in using
his name to build a pro Bolshevik, pro
German movement. and are now able
to get the people to repudiate him
utterly when they find that they are
unable to use him for their evil pur-

Mission to Poland Will Urge
Ruthenians to Agree to

WARSAW, Feb. IS BY The Asso-
ciated Press).-The peace conference
delegation to Poland will send com
mission to Lemberg Monday in an
endeavor to arrange an armistice with
the forces besiegng that city.
One of the difficulties to arranging
an armistice is that the Ruthenian
leaders have little power over their
followers. The situation in Lernberg
IS very bad, with women and boys CON
tlnulng to fight side by side with a
number Of exhausted and ill-equippe d
Polish regulars.
Allied officers who visited the city
recently say they witnessed the bring
ing into hospitals of wounded women
The Ruthenians, it is asserted. do not
want to surrender the oil wells south
OF Lemberg, from which at present
they are deriving profit by selling oil
to hungary, receiving produce and war
materials in exchange The Ruthen-
lans desire the territory up the Han
River as far as Przemysl The Poles
also desire possession of the oil wells,

The first political fight in the new
Polish Diet has taken place. 1t was be-
tween members of the Peasant party and
groups of the Right and arose over the
election of a marshal of the Diet, a
position which is equivalent to Presi-

Deputies. The candidate of the groups
Of the Right was elected BY four votes.
The Socialists supported the Peasant
party.
