Lenine's Proposition to the Asso-

Paris, April 3.-The Russian soviet
government is not asking for recogni-
tion by the associated powers, 1t was
learned from authoritative sources to.
day.
The proposition recently submitted
to the peace conference by Premier
Lenine, summed up, is substantially:
Make peace with us, enabling us to
end the numerous little wars that are
being waged on Russian territory.
Lift the blockade SO as to permit
us to get food and materials, Then
we will make good and you can recog-
nize us if you care to- III 53 81
The Russians, 1t is understood. are
also willing to make ssups1;,ile peace
with the associated powers, that is,
without including the new Hungarian
government in the pact. BY making
peace with the Russians is naturally
meant withdrawal of all allied forces
from Russia and a. csssatinp of ,gas.s
ticipation in such campaigns as that
in the Odessa district.
Lenine agrees to stop fighting, it is
declared, and to stop propaganda work
in other countries, applying his gov
ernmental machinery purely to nation
al affairs in which he expects to show
it is possible for a system to succeed
in which a rich. man cannot get any-
thing merely because he is rieh.I
