tFIRST PROPOSAL Is FOR
VIGOROUS INTERVENTION
There are three main proposals be-
sfore the conference regarding the Rus
sshn policy. The first advocates Wig
lof the Bolsheviki.
The second advocates. by every other
smeans than the dispatch OF troops, as
assistance to the elements in Russia
sagainst the Bolshevilli, with the OBJ
.of normal conditions in the peripheral
sregions of Russia and TO encourage
sthe populations OF the central regions
tstill under Bolshcvik domination to
gan effort to obtain similar conditions.
4 The third advocates the cessation OF
sopposition to the Bolsheyit govern.
fment, the withdrawal of the troops of
sthe associated powers and an attempt
fSio.reach a Working agreement 10 as
the formal recognition of tho Bolshe-
sS'fki is not held to be necessary.
sNOULD ATTEMPT TO SUPPLY
"a RUSSIA WITH FOOD
e Under the third proposal the asso-
"a iatcd powers would attempt to supply
Satussia with food and other urgent
meccssaries and assist in the reorgani-
@ntion of Transportation, industry and
pteyded ,ne 9Her
attacks on their ncishbors. refrain from
1lolesting allied sympa,hizers and cease
b The last plan is practically that Of
sAnd accurate information that the Boil
swell disciplined troops. obedient to Lc-
snine and held together by high wages
sAnd abundant food.
- This force is sufficient to make head
fHay against any opposition now in
Fight. Allied opposition CONSISTS of
Maussian soldiers in the vicinity OF
&rchangel who have been unable thus
Mar to join the 10000 Siberian and
Ufa and opposing a Bolshevik army of
11Io00 along the middle course Of the
Volga.

This showing makes 1T perfectly
clear that the Bolsheviki have the best
of the situation, at present at least,
and that unless one of the three plans
suggested is adopted Russia must be
left to her own destruction. 1t is un-
deniahle that Bolsheviilism has been
gaining new recruits lately from an
element opposed 10 foreign intervcn-
ton In Russian affairs. The changes
in the international situation during
the last few months also helped to
buttress opposition.
,Germany's withdrawal allowed the
Bolsheviki TO reoccupy large territories

the German revolution strengthened
The self-confidence OF the Bolshevili
ISaueTS, heIIlne being sill predominant.
