IS FAITHFUL TO ALLIES

ousK. Monday. oct. 90 (delayed) M.
soukine, acting Minister of Foreign Al
fairs in the All Russian Government,
a'scussing the problem resulting from the
activities Of Gen. Won der Goltz and his
German troops in the Baltic provinces,
,mphatically denied that there was any
desire on the part of his Government 10
direct its policy in any way along pro-
German lines or to use aid from that
onarter. but he said he believed the
S}lies should carefully direct the ac-
tr'ties of the Germans into channels
xlicn would further the mutual interests
T., tie Russians and the Allies.
"It appears to us that Germany re-
cards the present as an opportune mo-
rent to exert decisive influence in the
adjustment of Russian affairs 1t would
be unfortunate If her activities should
accrue to the support of the Bolsheviki.
I,uring the whole Russian revolution the
Germans have assisted alternately the
Russian reactionaries and the Bolsheviki.
Now that the European war is finished
the allied Governments should formulate
q policy of mutual cooperation with Ger
many which would leave the Allies In
control but at the same time would tend
10 suppress Bolshevism.
Faithful to Allies.
There has been no change In the
fidelity of this Government toward the
Allies, and the direction of our policy
has not altered in the slightest measure
but l may say that the feeling of the
Government and of the people at the mo-
ment is one of deep apprehension as to
the possible outcome of the Won der
Goltz affair, accompanied by an expecta-
ton OF an increase in the help extended
nv the Allies to the All-Russian Govern
ment"
The All-Russian Government is look
Tag anxiously to the United States for
applies of army clothing. raw mate
rails, &c, to make up for British as
sistance. suspended to permit the British
Government to send instead supplies to
Gen. Denikine. The British representa-
tves, according to NJ. Soukine, led the
All-Russian Government to believe that
the United States Government would
step into the breach.
Minister Soukine said the cessation by
the British of sending further supplies to
Siberia, due to their commitment to Gen,
Denikine, had aroused new anxiety con-
corning the measure of assistance TO be
expected from America.
Looking to America.
The attitude of America" said NJ.
Soukine, has been and continues TO De
extremely sympathetic. The promises
extended as far back as June, however,
have not yet been fully realized.
"Our Government. up to the present
has only been favored in the matter OF
its purchases in the United States, but
direct help by a financial credit similar
TO those which France and Ensland have
been given has not been allotted. The
need for winter uniforms and clothing for
our troops cannot be exa's gerated. moi
can the economic needs of the popula-
ton. Assistance is also urgently re-
quired to improve our currency situa-
ton"
According to a Government statement
In the British Parliament yesterday
Great Britain is no longer furnishing
funds or supplies to Admiral Kolchal
and does not contemplate supplying
Gen. Denikine indefinitely. This state
ment was interpreted. in view of the un
expectedly large deficit estimated for tht
present year, as an intimation Of fur
Their modification of the British policy o.
assisting the anti-Bolshevik forces il
Russo.
