DON'T WANT RECOGNITION

Tho bolsheyists do not desire rec- ognition by the United States MT Robins testified, but they would wei come assistance in restoring the eco homie life of the country. He ex- plained that the bolsevist leaders feel that their position as international rev olutionaries would be weakened by formal treaties with other govern ments. AssertingeLenine preferred CO., operation with America rather than Germany. MT. Robins said that unless this country took the lead in peaceable restoration of Russia, Germany inevit- ably would ob tain new foothold.
 The witness gave it as his opinion that America had failed to connect in the Russian story" partially because of the men sent to Russia to represent the United States government He men toned especially Elihu Root, who he said, was attacked in Russia as having been the man who tried to make the United States safe for plutocracy.' Other factors, according to the wit ness, were the stories told by Russians who returned to Russia from the United States after the revolution. These men seemed all to have been living in bad spots, MT. Robins said, and they brought back with them false ideas about the United States, which they pie tured as "a heaven for capitalists and a hell for working men,"
 Mir Robins testified that stories of atrocities in Russia before his depar ture were largely false, declaring he was impressed by the lack of destruc- tion of life,' and adding that he be- neyed it would have been much greater in the United States under similar cir cumstances. He blamed anarchist groups for many of the acts of terror.
 The soviet programme was denounced by5the witness who described it as being economically impossible and morally wrong" He concluded his tes- timony wit ha renewed appeal that the people in ths country try to understand boishevism in it's true light in order to combat it's menace.

 Marshal FOch and the fnlI mem
 bership of the war co neil pres-
 ent.
 Most of the time was given to the naval terms, which were largely set tied with several features still re- served. including the destruction of the large German ships.
 Premier Lloyd George was disposed to Lave England take part of these ships, but he yielded this view when shown that 1t would involve an in creased naval building programme in the United States
 As result of the British and Ameri- can view in agreement and as means of harmonizing the French and Italian views. 1t is possible that some of these ships will be apportioned to France and Italy instead of being destroyed,
 As the terms for the dismantlin, :, of the fortification of Kiel canal were causing some discussion. the council adopted a motion referring the Kiei question to the commission on water ways This commission will now con- sider the whole subject. including the American reservations. that the act on the Kiel canal shall not be precedent affecting American canals and water ways capable of being used for strategic purposes.
 ADOPT AMERICAN PROPOSAL
 The council also adopted the American proposal requiring each commission to cI1Ip1it with ba of an article to be presented in the peace treaty. The purpose of this is to give the council the specific terms of a subject, instead of a lengthy report, from which the council may frame terms
 The session tomorrow will be devoted to the military terms and the feeding of Bohemia, Jugo-Slavia, Austria and Germany. This question of feeding is re- garded as increasingly urgent. as reports reaching the British and American dele gatiops indicate that lack of food is spreading the revolutionary menace throughout central Europe.
 Aside from the actual military and nav al terms under consideration, an npor- tant question has arisen as to whether these terms will be temporary as incident to the close of the war. or permanent holding Germany in subjection for an in {. definite period This last proposal has 1 taken a very definite form as a means l for curbing Germany for all time, SC ! that she cannot repeat the experience after Napoleon dsarmed her, of rehabili tating her forces and thus defeat Napo | leon later.
 l As a result of this feeling some o these terms foresee the control of dis armament considerably beyond the period 1 of the present war. This in turn | has opened large vista befof' the British and Americanl delegates of possible commitment to occupation ant the supervision of German affairs for al 1 indefinite period in the future.
