THE RUSSIAN SITUATION
AND PRESS POSITION
Discussion of Affairs Of Trou-
bled Country Seems to Have
Been Confined to Agreement
to Exchange Available Infor-
nation.

Paris. Jan 16 (By the Associated
Press The meeting of the supreme
war council at the foreign Office TINS
morning, occupying two hours. was
the only formal gathering Oh 'hc
peace delegates today. AS summed up
in the official conamunique the fas-
sian situation and the conference ;
relations with rhe press were the only
subjects treated.
After the meeting. President Will
son. Premier Lloyd George, Secretary
Lansing and Mr.. Balfour remained for
some time in the ante chamber OF ID
Pichon's Office in earnest converse
ton.
The discussion Of the Russian Sit
uation appears to have been confined
to an agreement to exchange avalt-
able information. though the deter
n1ination to have a joint examination
of the subject as stated in the official
-communioue indicates that the Rus
sian situation will be one Of the su5-
jects to be taken under the earliest
consideration.
"The problem of the relations he
tween the. peace delegates and the
press. that is between the govern
ments and public opinion, is made
particularly delicate" says The Temps
..by the following considerations: On
the one hand. equality Of treatment
for the press Of all countries must be
assured. AS the United States and
Great britain are reluctant to impose
restrictions on their newspapers. the
only course is to allow the widest toll
erance to all.
con the other hand. it would he
harmful to lay bare to the enemy
governments differences Of opinion
which inevitably arise in discussions
between delegations The very cs-
sence Of every debate is that contra
dictions should arise. Such contradie-
tons viii assuredly be reconciled bU'
it would be very unfavorable thai
Germany should know the details day
by day and week to make capital out
Of them
The draft Of the league Of nations
in the form of treaty enactment fas
not proceeded anuch further than
generally supposed as q. result Of re-
cent conferences between Lord Rob
ert Cecil, Secretary Lansing and CO..
House. at which the best features OF
the various projects were embodied
in concrete forn, OF enactment. This is
called convenant. instead Of treaty
and rnembraces - articles and eight
supplementary provisions which bring
together the main features OF all the
plans presented.
The covenant which is subject tc
