Bullitt, Who Quit the Peace

William c. BulIitt. who was sent
to Russia by the Peace Commission
and returned with proposition to
make peace with Lenine. was a wit
ness yesterday before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. Bull
hit told how he resigned when
President Wilson refused to accent
the soviet plans for peace.
Opponents of the treaty were
heartened by BuIIitt's allegations
Of what happened in. Paris, but
we're somewhat downcast after
was revealed that Bullitt was as
sociated with Lincoln Steffens on
the trip to Russia.
Eullitt made these charges:
President Wilson's own advisers in
Paris told him the peace treaty was
utterly DId md the lea que Of nations
worthless.
They advised Iim that if the Amer
can peopl" ever learned all about the
treaty and what it let's the United
states into. they would speedily TO

BuIIitL went into details Of the ne
SOtiations conducted by Stefens and
himself for the declaration of an
armistiCe with the Bolshevik forces in
Russia. He was sent to Russia bv
the President after the Russian rulers
had declined the Presidents plan for
a conference on the island of Punkfpo
he was directed. he said. by Secretary
Lansing and Col. House to get from
LenIne and Trotzky their terms or
peace
Il was instructed to 60 to Moscow
and see Lenine and Trotzky and get
back within "a week if possible" Bull
lit said. y brought back with me
the terms proposed for an armisuce,
which were seven in number, among
them being the following: The lifting
of the blockade which the allies were
maintaining against Russia: non-in-
reference with the affairs OF the local
Svi"ts: the reciprocal right of the
members of the Soviet to enter the
allied countries. the release of all war
and political prisoners; the withdrawal
of all allied troops; the guarantee that
Finland and other nationalities which
had been made free should be COM
PEELED to help pay Russia's debt; and
the general reduction of the country

Denies Soviet Sympathics.
BuIlitt denied that he was IN
sympathy with the Soviet govern
ment and declared he was distinct
ly opposed to the radicals in Russia
as well as to those in the United
States. He said. however, that
Lenine was in a very conCiliatOry
mood and was ready to make peace
with the allied governments. Lenine,
he said. recognized the necessity of
paying Russia's national debt and
said he would see that it was paid.
Builitt resigned his place in The
Peace Commission after the Pres
dent had rejected his proposal to
make peace with the Soviet rulers.
