LENIVE IN FAVOR OF

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-A Copen-
hagen dispatch to the Daily News
runs. according to a copyright dis
patch to the World from London:
"a messenger from Russia has
handed to me the following statement
signed by Lenine and dated September
%, which was given for publication:
81 am often asked whether our
opponents in the war against Russia
are right, who expect from us, after
peace is concluded, not only the re-
sumption Of trade relations, but also
the possibility of receiving conces-
sions in Russia. l repeat once more
that they are right.
"A durable peace would be such a
relief to the toiling masses of Russia
that these masses would undoubtedly
agree to certain concessions being
granted. The granting of concessions
under reasonable terms is also desir-
able for US as one of the means of at
tracing into Russia the technical
help of countries which are more ad-
vanced in this respect, during the Pc
riod of co-existence side by side of
Socialist and capitalist states'"

Clark was opposing a provision in
