this, but the issue was tremendous

Continued from First Page,

their hands in glee over the Brest-
Litovsk peace few months ago. Now
every one OF them Is in a far from en-
viable position. But We were able to
pass It on to the scrap heap of history
and already are beginning to forget 1t.
The signing OF such a peace with the
Allies would not mean that We would
even for a second stop building our red
army. II would only mean that we put
no trust whatever on the bit OF paper
which we would have signed. We would
continue 10 build our army. but az the
same time would allow the workmen
and peasants to draw a few free
breaths."
Throughout his speech Zinoviert en-
phasized that the Soviet leaders were
not seeking peace with the Allies be-
cause OF the military situation. which
IN fact, he said was good from the Boil
shevik point Of view but only because
the food situation was bad.
The Governor asserted the Soviet
Government could afford to make an
unfavorable peace on anyterms insisted
upon by the Allies because no matter
what mistakes We make now we shall
conquer In the end. No matter how
cleysrlx, the inlperiallstic hourgeoisie
may Tdsn Its pawns II wifr-srerish in
evitably within a few years
I'VE should be bound to accept these
conditions" Zinovieff continued, in the
full assurance that history Is working
for us and that every hour brings us
nearer to the final ruin Of our enemies 4:
that We should use this breathing spell
so obtained IN order 10 gather our
strength. The mere continued existence
OF our Government would continue on
a grand scale the propaganda which
Soviet Russia has been carrying on for
more than year"

MANN AT WORK ON

Meeting Of Republican Repre-

Next Wednesday.

WARRINGTON. March 2.-The Mann
committee on committees Of the Sixty
sixth Congress will meet Wednesday
probably for organization purposes
only" to quote a member Of the body.
This means from present indications
that Mr.. Mann. boss Of the House" by
the action Of Thursdays Republican
caucus, will adjourn the committee pend
ing preparation by himself of a slate
for the organization of the next House,
and that this slate will be presented
al subsequent meeting of the COM
nittee.
The COMMITTEES itself, unless Mr.. Mann
somehow loses his present firm grasp.
will be permitted to go through the
motions of indorsing the Mann slate.
II the slate Is too raw the Gillett
men on the committee will bring In a
minority slate for submission to the
next caucus.
AS far as can b seen now any move
ment to combat the Mann leadership on
the part of the tricked Gillett forces
is without head or tail at this time.
Hesitate to start risht.
Delay by the Mann forces In present.
ing a slate until a few hours or days
before the converting of the next ses-
sion contributes largely to this condi-
ton. Members are not anxious to line
up against the new boss without being
sure the latter will pursue course
which would justify their antagonism in
view of the country and in the light
of their own political interests
In other words, II the Mann slate
when II Is brought in should offer them
anything approaching an even break
most of those who voted for Gillett in
the Speakership row will be glad to let
well enough alone and refrain from a
personal encounter with a political buzz-
saw.
Mr.. Mann's greatest difficulty will be
IN selecting floor leader acceptable
alike to himself and a sufficiently large
number OF Republican representatives to
prevent a successful attempt by the
former Gillett forces to substitute the
name of Nicholas Longworth or some
other progressively inclined Republican
Centres on Floor Leader.
Any concert O. action agains. the
Mann slate almost certainly will centre
around this place. and az the floor leader
Will be eS off1cio chairman OF the steer
ing committee Of Ave, OF which two
members selected by Mann presume bly,
will be Gillett men. the substitution of a
G!llett floor leader would swing the ma
Jorty OF the committee from Mann to
Gillett. In such a contest, however, the
alignment which obtained in the
Speakership contest would be broken
in both directions
A large number OF members who
voted for Gillett out of Difference to the
popular feeling against Mann will not
feel constrained to continue the h9ht
against the Mann organization and floor
leader On the other hand. though, n
large number Of Representatives who for
various reasons felt obligated to support
Manns Speakership aspirations. will not
feel similarly obligated II a contest de-
velops over the floor leadership.

B!ssolat and Trumbitch were the two
leaders who represented moderate coun-
sells and who were pledged TO moderate
programmes. When Blssolati could not
mako 'his views prevail in the Italian
Cabinet he resigned. Trumbitch. on tho
other hand, when his moderate views
failed to commend themselves TO his col
leagues not only did not resign, but
made himself the mouthpiece of the ex-
IRENE views which he had dsowned a

has been ruined.
In all parties. II must be said, there
is keen resentment OF the assumption,
which seems general in France and COM
mon in England, that while France has
the right to demand special guarantees
against aggression the same support
cannot be granted Italy. 1t may ho
said that the cases are not on all tours
They certainly do not seem SO to France

Italy they do, and II the League Of
