s. Gratified Over Paris
Treaties.
"BOLsHEvIsM DYING OUT"
Jewish Races Envoy at Peace
Conference Predicts End of
Reds Terrorism.

The future OF racial minorities in tho
countries of eastern Europe appears
brighter than ever before as result
Of treaties negotiated with the Allies at
Paris, so Louis Marshall. who repre-
sented the Jewish race at the Peace
Conference. declared yesterday when he
returned to New York on the French liner
La Touraine. He expects the fullest
measure OF liberty will be accorded here
after to Jews in Poland, which has
signed the treaty. Similar ones are to
be entered into with Rumania, Czecho-
Slovakia, Jugo- Slavia, Bulgaria, Austria
and Greece and, ultimately, with Russia.
Mr.. Marshall said he believed that
Bolshevlsm was dying out in Europe and
that it would end soon. He called the
League OF Nations the only method of
preventing wars in the future. Continu-
ing Mr.. Marshall said:
at Is believed that the rights accorded
to ninorities will become q reality and
that the oppressive and discriminatory
laws which have characterized eastern
Europe for so many centuries will be
forever eradicated-rights of individuals
and minorities will be safeguarded as
they have been In our Western civiliza-
ton. Each OF the new European states
has millions of inhabitants who belong
to these minorities and who. without
these guarantees, would be virtually in
tire state of dependency upon the whims
and caprices of the majorities.
FOR the first time. therefore, In east
European life will the principle OF equal
ity before law become part of the lite
OF the new nations. II Is believed also
that these guarantees will not consti-
tute paper constitutions. but will become
living, potent actuallties through the
League OF Nations.
This result could not have been
achieved had 1t not been for the active
untiring and sympathetic interest OF
