here who have analysed the testi
mony of William c. Bullitt, the tex
of which has just been made avail
able by the senate foreign relations
committee, predict that it will caus,
an upheaval in Great Britain ane
France when the full text is/avail
able in those countries.
Scenes in the British Parliament
and the French Chamber Of Depu
ties much more sensational thar
that which took place in the French
Chamber when Jean Longuet, leader
Of the minority socialists, brought
up in the Chamber the mission o.
Mr.. Bullit to Russia, are looked
for.
Premier May Resign.
Indeed, it is being intimated her.
that the offer. of Lloyd-George to
resign as premier may have beer
anticipatory of the embarrassment
he may be made to suffer by hi:
enemies when they are in posses
sion of the ammunition provided BY
Mr.. Bullitt.
The American phases OF Mr.. Bull
lifts revelations were of such great
interest that they obscured, on the
day his testimony was given, the
importance of his revelations re.
specting yd-George's attitude to-
wards the Russian situation.
Lloyd George Beceiver.
Mr.. Bullitt made the direct charge
that Lloyd George had deceived the
British Parliament and the British
people and he characterized this de.
ception in these words:
ut was a most egregious case Of
misleading the public, perhaps the
boldest that l have ever known ir
my life"
Careful reading of Mr.. Bullitt's
testimony has brought to some oil
the republican senator's the convic.
ton that if Lloyd George shall FIND
himself so greatly embarrassed by
the Bullitt revelations that he will
be forced to resign, he will be a
victim of President Wilson's vacil,
lation of purpose.
Records Conversations.
Mr. Bullitt's exhibit No. II" be.
fore the foreign relations commit.
tee was entitled, notes on CONVEX.
sations held in the office of M
Pichon at the Quai D'Orsay or
January 10, 191o-preliminary dis.
cussion regarding the situation ir
Russia"
1t appears from these notes thai
Lloyd George discussed the Rus.
sian situation at some length. HI
ended his discussion with the state
ment that there seemed to him to BIZ
three possible policies to meet the
Russian situation. These were:
|. Military intervention.
2. Establishing a Gordon.
5Summoning representative O.
the bolsheviki to Paris to appear be
fore the peace conference. Some
what in the way that the Roman
empire summoned chiefs of outlying
tributary states to render an account
of their actions"
AS the policy of military interven
ton, Mr.. Lloyd George said, 9Th,
the mere idea of crushing bolshev
ism by military forces is pure mad
ness" AS to the proposal that +;
Gordon be established arount
Russia, Mr.. Lloyd George said, eth,
Gordon policy is policy which ha
humane people, those present coulc
not consider" The third proposal
that Of summoning representative
of the bolsheviki to Paris, seemed
to him the wise course.
Wilson Gave Support.
President Wilson strongly sup
ported Mr.. Lloyd Georges views
He is reported by Mr.. Bullitt t.
have made these declarations:
"Capital and labor in the Uniteo
States are not friends. Still the,
are not enemies in the same sens,
that they are thinking of restoring
to physical force to settle their diff
ferences. BUT they are distrustfu
each of the other. Society canno
continue on that plane. On the on
hand, there is a minority possessing
capital and brains; on the other,
majority consisting of the grea
bodies of workers who aresessentia
to the minority, but do not trus
the them inority, and feel that tn
the minority, and feel that tn
their rights. A way must be foun'
to put trust and cooperation be
tween these two.
president Wilson pointed GU
that the whole world was disturbe'
by this question before the bolshe
wiki came into power. Seeds nee
soil. and the bofsheviki seeds foun
the soil already prepared for then
Feared Return of Czarism.
President Wilson stated that h
would not be surprised to find tina
the reason why British and Unite
States troops would not be ready t
enter Russia to fight the bolshevik
was explained by the fact that tn
troops were not at all sure that
they put down bolshevism the
would not bring about a re-estab
lishment of the ancient order. Fo
EXAMPLE, in making a speech re
Gently to a we'll dressed audienc
in New York City, who were NO
to be expected to show such feeling
Mr.. Wilson had referred CASUAL
to Russia, stating that the Unite
States would do its utmost to aid it
suppressed people. The audienc
exhibited the greatest enthusiasm
and this has remained in the pres
dents mind as an index to wher
the sympathies of the new worl
Give Russia a Chance"
President Wilson believed tina
those present would BE playin
against the principle of the FIRE
