Plan Submitted to France With
Britain's Support, Calling for
Immediate Withdrawal of All
the Allied Forces.
HEAR LENINE WILLING TO
DISCUSS PARLEY OFFER
Understood British Troops Are
to Be Recalled by March, Re-
gardIess of Action of Other
Entente Powers.
BY LOWELL MELLETT.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The United States
supported by Great Britain. has sub
mitted to France a proposal for i'm
mediate withdrawal of all troops from
Russia, it was learned from authorita-
tive sources today.
This move was made in conformity
with unofficial information obtained
by American agents that Premier
Lenine and Foreign Minister Tchit-
cherin will accept the proposal for
joint conference at Prink pos, providing
that the allied forces are first with
drawn.
The British, In fact, are understood
to be planning recall OF their own
troops by March, whether the United
States and France take similar action
of not.
EXIT TO BE CLOSED.
British military officials are expect
cd to hold that withdrawal is urgent,
as Archangel soon will be ice-locked
and exit will then be impossible. The
French are considering the proposal
but have not vet given any intimation
Of their intentions.
While no official response has been
received to the wireless invitation or
I Tue dSSOtldltQ pOWtTs, american
agents comforting with Lenine's repre-
sentatives have informed the American
delegation that both Lenine and Tchit-
cherin are emanable to the plan for
holding a joint conference, their only
stipulation being withdrawal of allied
troops from Russian soil before the
meeting is held.
TRoTSkY OPPOSED.
A complieating feature, however, is
the fact that War Minister Trotsky
and some of his supporters oppose any
proposal for withdrawal of the allied
forces, holding that their presence in
Russia serves to revolutionary spirit,
not only in Russia but in other coun-
tries.
Unofficial reports have been received
that the proposal has been discussed
at a conference of the Soviets in Mos
cow. The American delegation has
been advised by its agents that Len
ines political strength is sufficient to
dominate this meeting and carry out
his plans rather than Trotsky's.
