Bolsheviki Struggle
Is Not Against Russia,
But a Pacific Policy
(BX LAsT-MIwUTE CAELEl


PARIS, Wednesday, March 20
Stephen Pichon, foreign minister,
said this afternoon in the chamber
of deputies that the struggle against
the Bolsheviki was not a declara ton
of war against Russia. His address,
which was made in reply to inter
pellations made by Marcel Cachin
and Ernest Lafont, was bitterly crit
icised by Socialist deputies and for
time the greatest disorder pre-
vailed.
NJ. Pichon said that the allied pol
icy in Russia was not war" but
a "pacifying" policy.
The session was suspended from
5:45 to o'clock, when the Socialists
renewed their attacks on the SPEAK
mier Clemenceau entered the cham
Der, it being his first visit since he
was wounded by an aSSassin's bullet
recently.
NJ Moutet, a Socialist, who is one
of the attorneys for Joseph CaillauX,
who is under charges Of treason, sug-
gested during the Socialist attack on
NJ. Pichon that lit was necessary to
oppose one ideal or another and not
to dodge that of President wilson
He was charged by Georges Bonnie
foux of lacking respect for Mr.. Will
son, but President Eschanel inter
jected: mo one here lacks respect for
President Wilson"
Turbulent scenes continued until
the close of the session at 1928
o'clock.

WILSON AND PRENIIERS
TAKE CHARGEsOF AFFAIRS

! PARIS, Wednesday, March 26.-
(By the Associated Press-Pea ce
Conference.) - President Wilson s.
study was again the center OF IN
tense interest today as he, with the
premiers Of Great Britain, France
tie the questions standing in the
way Of peace.
No event of the peace conference
has excited such interest and dis
cussion as this action of the presi-
dent and the premiers in taking af-
fairs into their own hands, and while
criticism and sarcasm are yet in evil
dence in some quarters, including
the French chamber OF deputies,
still the prevailing view in confer
ence circles is that the time had
arrived for the adoption of a strong
policy, assuring early and definite
results.
Previous to the meeting, Premier
Orlando spent an hour with Colonel
House, talking over the question OF
| the Adriatic. which, with that OF
PREPARATIONS and the Rhine frontier
are the three vital issues obstruct-
! ing progress. The Italian premier
then proceeded to the Paris White
House." where Premiers Lloyd
George and Clemenceau were already
with the president.
The meetings, beginning at II
o'clock in the morning, were virtual
ly continuous throughout the day,
cancelllng it's afternoon meeting SO
as to permit President Wilson to
| give his undivided attention to the
! conference with the premiers. The
question of indemnity was again the
main stumbling block.
