ers in this attitude, but it is being
universally recognized that there is
only one remedy for overcoming Boil
shevism and preventing it's spread, out
side Russia, namely, to crush it by
force. We ask to be allowed to use
force.
Would Recruit Army
I'VE strongly urge an expedition Of
volunteers, but in order not to involve
the responsibility of the powers, we do
not insist on such expedition being or
ganized by the powers themselves, ask
ing only authorization to raise the
volunteers ourselves and to be allowed
to enlist them in different European
countries, which is not novelty, hav-
ing been done in many wars"
NJ. SaZonotf cited as examples of
this the Peninsular war, the Garibaldi
war, the Bocr war, the war in the
Balkans and other conflicts.
"Why should we not also be al
lowed to raise volunteer army" NJ.
Sazonoff added, "for one of the most
sacred causes the world has ever
known-that Of freeing our country
from band of malefactors who in
some unfortunate parts of Russia by
force of arms are setting at naught all
principles of right and personal free
DOM
I'VE do not even ask from the powers
any financial assistance, as the govern
ments already constituted, of which /
represent two of over forty million
people, will float a loan which un-
doubtedly will be we'll received, as
every one knows the immense re-
sources of Russia, which, with it's huge
population, soon will regain its posi-
tion as one of the principal factors in
the worlds activity"
1t has been learned that the animat-
ing purpose of the council on the
Princes Islands is not to enforce upon
The gathering any particular line OF
policy, but simply to encourage the
participants to get together them
selves on any basis that promises the
restoration Of internal order and
proper relations with the world
This meets with the suggestion from
certain quarters to-day that the Allied
and American delegates to that con-
ference should be charged not to IN
sist upon Russia's recognition Of her
foreign debt, which was repudiated by
the BolsheviAi, or to place any obli-
cation upon the Russians that would
threaten to negative efforts to secure
harmony and peace.
While some of the Allied powers
would like TO impose recognition of
varioua obligations upon the Russians,
it is made clear that, so far as the
American and British views are con-
ccrned, such is not the cnse
President Wilson'S plan for dealing
with the Russian problem includes the
unconditional recognition of the revo-
luton" by the representatives Of the
associated powers, according to the
"Petit Parisien," which declares it's in
formation comes from "an especially
authorized source"
OF this recognition its informant
says:
"This must be construed as implying
recognition of all the consequences Of
the Russian revolution as far as the
former government of the Car is con-
corncd, but in no wise as approval of
the Boishevik policies"
The press continues to display the
keenest interest in the Russian prob
lem. Although former Foreign Minis
t9r Sazonoff and Prince Lvoff, the
former Premier, declare they are firmly
decided to have nothing whate, to
do with the Bolshevik, the "Matin"
declares that numerous Russians at
present in Paris, notably Basil Max
lakof, the Russian Ambassador at
Paris, are Of the opinion that the anti
Bolshevik government should not give
up the advantage Of a hearing before
the Allies no matter how reluctant
they may be to meet the Bolsheviki.
