WOULD RECOGN|zELEN|N

Lord Reading, the British am

ment today that suggestions that
Premier Lloyd George has advised
the recognition of Lenin or
Trotsky, the Russian bolshevik
leaders, were wholly unfounded.
The ambassador made the follow
ing statement:
With regard to the suggestions
which have appeared in some quar-
ters that Mr.. Lloyd George had ad-
vised fhe recognition of Lenin or
Trotsky, 1 am in a position to state
that these suggestions are wholly
without foundation. Mr.. Lloyd
George has never suggested that

the associated governments recog-
nize the bolshevik regime in at
tempting to work out a solution of
the Russian problem. Some of
these rumors have connected the

France of plans for the Presidents
return home. Navy officials said today
no orders had been received In regard
to the transport George Washington,
but that the vessel was undergoing

preparatory to sailing for Brest on
April Is. This would put her on the
