Following the conference between
Lloyd George and Clemenceau last
week it is announced that the Allies
have definitely decided to leave Russia
to settle her own affairs. All along
their had been a feeling among the
leaders of the different Allied govern
ments that it would never do to allow
the establishment Of Bolshevism IN
Russia, and the inclination was to give
all possible assistance to the elements
that were fighting Bolshevism. Great
Britain has furnished men, munitions
and money to the anti-BolsheVlKl
leaders, Kolchack, DenelSine and others.
The United States has tried to be
neutral and France for various reasons,
has held aloof. For one thing there Is
lots of Bolshevik sympathy in France
enough to be dangerous. For another
thing, the people of France hold
hundreds of millions of Russian secu-
rites and they hope some day 10
realize on, provided the Russians do
not repudiate them entirely, and Tor
still another thing, France is SO ex-
hausted that she does not feel inclined
to take on any more trouble than can
possibly be avoided. The govern
ing classes Of England are not at all
reconciled to leaving Bolshevism in un-
disturbed pursuance Of its ideals; but
as in France there is in England also
strong and widespread sentiment IN
support of Bolshevism. The erect OF
the decision to leave Russia to settle
her own affairs in her own way VIII
be to put the radical, social and econ
omic ideas of Lenine and TrotskV on
their merits If there is enough in these
ideas that is sound, they will stand
otherwise Russia will have to WORK
out her own salvation through more
bloodshed.

The British prime minister, David
LLOYD George, and the French pre-
NJ. Clemenceau on Saturday night In
London completed a three days con-
ference on the main outstanding IN
ternational questions relating &c the
peace settlement. principally that con-
cerning Turkey. The American Jap
anese and Italian ambassadors. and
French and British financial experts
were called in at various times, while
the Italian foreign minister, Signor
Scialoya. took a prominent part. The
conference covered wide range or
subjects and a brief official statement
records that satisfactory agreements
were arrived at on all outstanding
points" So far as is known the Amerl-
can ambassador, John w. Davis,
participated only in the Adriatic dis
cussion. He emphatically denied the
report that the conference had sub
mitted proposals to President Wilson
for the revamping Of the treaty, and
that he had been called in to discuss
them. What was wanted of him or
what advice he may have given is care
fully concealed. The London political
writer's are at wide variance regard
ing the proceedings of the conference
none of them apparently being really
informed as to what has transpired.

PARIS. March 1s,-The peace, con-
ference is struggling in the midst Of
a grave dilemma. On the. one hand
the peoples of the world are demand
ing immediate peace; on the other 1t
has become clearer every. day that the
problems involved are too compli-
Gated, numerous and momentous to be
solved in day, a month or perhaps
even I'm year. Hasty conclusions are
almost certain to be inadequate solu-
tons fruitful only in future trouble.
Under the grinding pressure of this
dilemma the negotiations have fol-
lowed strange course. apparently
without any order whatsoever. In
reality this course has been dictated
by watchful opportunism. When
Germany was quiet and Russia threat
ening, Russia was discussed, and the
troubles between the Jugoslavs and
the Italians or between the Czecho-
slovaks and the Poles became subjects
of deliberation by the big ten. More
ever. the arrival of new delegations. in
Paris has generally been sufficient to
obtain them hearing

Must Quiet Peace Thirst.

There is at the present time, ap-
parently great anxiety to do some-
thing which will quiet the peace thirst
of the peoples. AS an agreement has
been reached on the league of nations
and on the naval, military and aerial
conditions to be imposed on the Ger
combine these things and call them
the preliminaries Of peace instead of
final armistice terms The confer
ence would then continue leisurely to
wrestle with the rest of the worlds
problems in the name of the league
of nations instead of as a body of
allied negotiators.
Obviously this is a mere verbal
quibble. Final peace can only come
with fair and just settlement of all
the issues which have been raised by
the mightiest convulsion the world
has ever Seen.-
Evening star., 1919-03-23
"should Not Be Railroaded. :"

Such settlement cannot and should
not be railroaded through In the parne
Of speeding up peace. As a matter of
fact the return to normal conditions
of peace may take many months de-
spite anything the peace conference
can do.
Danger of the resumption of HOSTILE
ties on any large scale has already
been definitely passed. Demobilization
in nearly every country is progressing
rapidly and practically without sud
denly throwing large numbers of un-
employed men back into civil life.
Measures have been taken for re-
victualing central Europe. Little by
9ittle business is being resumed, but
the worlds economic and financial sit
.uation is such that no edict of the
peace conference can untangie it in
day. The cost of living. which took
years to reach the present height, may
take years to fall to the normal level.
The peace conference is probably do
ing the best it can under the tremen-
dous difficulties which overburden 1t.
Evening star., 1919-03-23
Other Delegates Of Peace

Return to peace depends not alone
pm the decisions reached ih the Paris
conference. but on the initiative, ener-
gy and sense of duty of private citi-
lens in every country. Those who de-
spite difficulties endeavor resolutely to
find work and resume business are
themselves delegates Of peace. Those,
on the other hand. who sit still wait
ing for some~magic script known as q
peace treaty to make things easier for
them are not only laying themselves
open to bitter disappointment, but
helping to retard the very thing for
which they pretend to be signing,
namely, the peace Of the world.

IN AFFECTIONS GARDEN.

In the garden of our affections there
are certain loyal natures that continue
faithful through all things; as in the
kindgom OF vegetation there are GER
tain finely organized and sensitive
growths of flower and vine, which are
SO susceptible to warmth and light,
and beauty, that they do nothing all
their lives but look at the sun. In
the dawn, with a sublime faith, they
watch the east for his coming. Turn.
ing on their slender stems all day
long, they follow him as she makes the
circuit Of the sky and at nightfall, aft
or he has sunk from sight, we behold
again these flowers, their faces west
ward now, with the dewdrops shining
on their petals, like tears gathered in
the eyes of parted friendship.
