Paris. May 6.-What is the chief
concern the Western democracies
have today with regard to the new
Fregime in Russia? 1t is the anxiety
lest Bolshevism penetrate into Central
Europe, flooding the territories of the

itself great misfortune for Europe,
but a veritable catastrophe would re-
suit from the extension of that
regime into Central Europe
All Europe would thereby be divided
into two groups OF peoples. Between
these two groups Cancellation would
be impossible. and there would be
more fundamental differences between
them than there are now between the
peoples of Europe and those of Asia.

PENR0SE FIGHT
Opposition Vanishes in De.

The fight that was started by a
number of Republican Senators to
keep Senator Boies Penrose. of Penn

end.
The Pennsylvaniap will go befcre

ty of the Republican caucus. and no
attempt will be made to prevent his
election by the Senate
1t was announced yesterday that an
understanding has been reached be-
tween the various groups of Senators
that the fight on Ponrose shall not b,
carried beyond the CAUCUS.
1t is understood that six or seven
Republicans probably will vote against
him IN the caucus, but will ACCEPT the
CAUCUS decision. Some of the ultra
antis may refrain from voting at all
on the nomination. but it is not be-
lieved there will be any votes in the
Senate against him
The reason for the subsidepc, NJ
the Penrose fight is that more inn
portant issues have arisen 10 sub
merge the opposition TO his attaining
the important chairmanship
Foremost among these is the control
Of the Foreign Relations Committee.
All of the Republican Senators re-
gard the personnel Of this committee
as of the highest importance. and
those Senators who are leading the
fight against the league OF nations
are particularly anxious that the
committee shall be arranged to suit
them.

The league opponents don't want TO
