of the Fetrograd Soviet, Zinovsief said:
 we are undertaking this move to- ward peace with clea" realization that in the course of tii1e this peace will he profitable to us and not to our enemies.
 Comrades. it seems to me this has been proved up to the hi. Ly our ex- perience with the Brest ii1ovsh peace, It is not for Russian WCTkmen and peasants who suffered for the Brest Litovsk peace but some one else William the Second and his band ot robbers the German oourgcoisie and Scheidemann and his crowd, all of whom were rubbing ther hands in glee over the Brest Litovsk peace a few months ago. Now every one ot them is in 8 far from envlable posi- tion. But we were able 70 pass 1t on to the scrapheap of his&rry and al- ready are beginning to forget 1t. ! The signing of such a peace with the allies would not ileln that we would even foS a second sop building | our Red Army. It would only mean l that we put no trust whatever on the bsf of paper which We would have 1 signed. We would continue to. build | our army, bit at the same time would allow the workmen ani peasants to | draw a few free bredths." Throughout his speech Zinovieff en- 1 phasized that the Soviet leaders were
 not seeking peace with the allies be-
 cause of the military situation. which
 in fact, he said. was good from the BolsheviI1 polnt of view, but only be-
 cause the food situation was bad.
 The governor declared the Soviet l government could afford 10 make an
 unfavorable I,eace on any terms in-
 sisted upon hy the allies because no matter what mistakes we make now we shall conquer in the end. No
 matter how cleverly the inperialistic
 bourkeoisie may push its paws it will
 inevitably perish within d few years.
 We should be bound to accept these
 conditions" Zinovief continued, 'in
 the full assurance that history is i. working for US and ttat every hour brings us nearer to the final ruin oi our enemies; that we should use this breathing snell so obtained in order l to gather our strength. The mere t continued existence of our government l would continue on Q rsand scale tht propaganda which societ Russia ha. @ been carrying on for more than ; I year."

 T am feeling better now" he said in his familiar style. Poland is be- ginning to sec day light. We have lots, of trouble ahead, but thanks to the allies some of our bright future is be- hind us. Poland has to fight for this bright future, and we shall fight. II we perish. you will perish tco

Most people like to get money without working and that IS what Bolshevik Russia offers" ,, When asked if he was able to re concile the 350,000 Polish army with the league of nations plan, M, Pader- ewski replied:
 Yes, certainly, and I am quite f sympathy with that plan. Poland's army, is to be recruited for such time as is necessary to restore order or our frontiers. It will be all army ol peace and order, or policemen, if you will, the same as the United States called up to protect it's borders along 1 Mexico from outrage.
