REDS ARE ASSASS|NS
ANARCHIST MACHINERY BOTH
STRONG AND BRUTAL.
PREMIER SAYS INTERVENTION
MUST FALL TO BRITAIN
AND FRANCE.

London, Feb. 13.-Prelnier LLOYD
| George spoke again yesterday on the
general peace situation. The premier,
defending the proceedings of 1t peace
| conference, said the government had
been devoting its time to speeding up
agreements. He was Sangulne that Il
complete agreement would be reached
concerning the German western boun'
Diary, but the eastern boundary was u
different matter. Until the commits
sion sent to examine the matter re
ported, the allies would be in no posi-
ton to make demands upon Germany.
The conference was unanimous, ne
said, that Germany had forfeited all
rights to her colonies.
He declared that there had never
been any proposal advanced at the
peace conference to recognize the Boil
shevists. Russia was easy to dogma
tie about, but difficult to deal with.
lie admitted that the horrors OF Boil
Shevism were so great that there was
IA sense of disgust when they came to
deal with its leaders, but 1t was use
less to blind their eyes to the real
facts.
The BOlsheviki, the premier de-
clared, were assassins, guilty of crimes
laid to their charge. The allies had
given the -Bolshevist government
financial support and assistance.
Much of their equipment had been
supplied by the allies, who were anX-
ious to keep the rich territories OF
Russia out of German hands.
If troops were to be sent to Russia,
who should send them? America, he
said, would send neither men,, money
nor material, and the work would fall
upon the British and French.
The Bolsheviki machinery in Rus
STA was ruthless and brutal, but there
vas no doubt about its efficiency, and
it was the only machinery there.
Everybody in the past who had inter
fered in Russia had come to grief.
referring to the alternative of al
lowing the fire in Russia to burn itself
out, the premier characterized this as
IL brutal policy, and added that it
would be useless to send food to PetrO-
grad when the only distributing Organ-
ization was BOlshevik. Supporting the
Prinkipo proposal, the premier argued
that it was by no means unknown on
the northern frontier of India to par
ley with brigands and even assassins.

Copenhagen, Feb. 16.-Replying to
a request by Matthias Erzberger, head
Of the German armistice commission,
istice terms until tomorrow noon,
Marshal FOch declared that the arm
istice expired at 5 O'Clock Monday
morning, and that the last hour for
signing would be 6 o'clock Sunday aft
ernOOn, in order to be able to issue
the necessary orders to the troops. II
no signed then, Marshal FOch said he
would be obliged to leave Treves and
the armistice would no longer be in
force. Answering Erzberger's counter
demands, Marshal Foch said the new
armistice terms had been fixed by the
heads of the associated governments
and that he was unable to alter them.
Geneva.-Kurt Eisnpr, the Bavarian
premier, on his return to Munich from
the recent Socialist conference held at
Berne, made reply to attacks in the
German press concerning his speech at
Berne. Eisner said the Germans did
not realize to what Il degree they were
isolated from the world and what ter
rible mistrust there was of German
politics outside Germany. The Ger
mans, he added, did not realize to
what extent the allies considered the
German revolution a pure comedy and
said that it will be thus while the
German leaders remain the same as
those who conducted Germany's OdiOus
entire change of the German govern
ment leaders.

Observation-Disclosures that the big
sympathetic strike at Seattle was not
a bona fide strike. but a carefully
planned attempt at social revolution,
is in the hands Of the Department of
Labor. This evidence tends to show
that nothing short of an industrial
dictatorship of the United States was
the ideal in the minds of the radical
leaders when they launched the move
ment that took 10000 men and women
away from their occupations and
closed up the business life of the Pa
cific coast city.

Article XIX

TO those colonies and territories which
AS a consequence of the late war have
ceased to be under the sovereignty of the
statess which formerly governed them and
which are inhabited by peoples not yet
able to stand by themselves under the
strenuous conditions of the modern world,
there should be applied the principle that
the wellbeing and development of such
peoples form a sacred trust of civilization
and that securities for the performance
Of this trust should be embodied in the
constitution of the league.
The best method OF giving practical eff
feet to this principle is that the tutelage
of such peoples hould be entrusted to
advanced nations who by reason of their
resources, their experience or their
geographical position. can best undertake
this responsibility, and that this tutelage
should BIZ exercised By -kem as manda-
tory on behalf Of the league.
Certain commSnities formerly belonging
to the Turkish empire have reached IA
stage OF development which their exist
ence as independent nations can be pro-
visionally recognized subject to the rem
dering of administrative advice and as
sistance by mandatory power until such
time as they are able to stand alone. The
wishes Of these communities must be a
principal consideration in the selection OF
the mandatory power.
There are territories, such as southwest
Africa and certain OF the south Pacific
isles, which. owing to the sparseness of
their population, or their small size, or
their renoteness from the centers OF
civilization, or their geographical continu-
ity to the mandatory state, and other cir
cumstances, can be best administered I'M
der the laws Of the mandatory state as
integral portions thereof. subject to the
safeguards above mentioned, in the inter
ests OF the indigenous population.
