.BLAMEs FRANCE FOR
FAILURE Of PLANNED
!. PARLEY WITH RUSSIA
Mason Says French Attitude
Serves to Widen Breach of
Sentiment Between Musco-
vites and Western Demo-
cracies.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, Feb. 17.-Failure of the
allies plan to bring about conference
of the rival Russian factions to date
is due to the influence of France which
has inspired the conservative forces in
Russia to refuse to participate in the
proposed Princes Islands discussion.
One more step has thus been taken
to continue the division Of sentiment
between Russia and the western dem
ocracies and to encourage the Germans
to plot for a future Russo German al
lance. Neither the French statesmen,
who have so strongly criticised the
Princes Island meeting, nor the con-
servative Russians, who have rejected
the idea, have made any counter pro-
posals, except to urge America and
Great Britain to send armies into Rus
sia to overthrow the Bolsheviki.
TO RESCUE FINANCES.
This solution has been proposed ex-
clusively in the interest of Russia s.
foreign creditors and those domestic
factions that cannot find support for
their doctrines within Russia itself
Neither America nor Great Britain will
consent to declaring war upon kussia
for such purposes as these.
A renewed effort, therefore, will
have to be made to bring about an un-
derstanding between the western ma :
tions and the Bolsheviki or the policy
of isolating Russia must be continued.
The latter alternative is the most
fruitful attitude the western powers
could assume for Germany's benefit. 1t
will be impossible for Russia to be os-
tracised long after the peace conference
adjourns. Thereafter, if the allies con-
tinue to sit by in lofty contempt of the
Slavs. the formation of rival league
of nations" with the socialistic govern
ment Of Germany will become Russia s
aim.
