LLOYD GEORGE AND THE BOLsBEV1En

D HE PROPOSAL of Lloyd George admit Bosheviki presentaives the peace table must be founded upon profound consideration of the facts and however distaseu the ordinary mnd must not be lightly treated as alteration of greatness. t
 The great British premier is at least conscious as the man in the street inc attitude of the public toward the treme radicals who seized the Russian government He would scarcely offend the sucepbes of the world without the most powerful motives These motives would have to be discovered in special knowledge he has of the Russian sit uation
 Is it perhaps true that the Bolshovs government more powerful successful and adapted to the service of the thai the world has been permitted to know?
 Or does the British premier feel that BOshevst sympathy Brh people is too great to permit successful con trol of the Russian situation by force?
 One or both these motives may be controlling Many facts have been forthcoming show thai the Russian radicals have gained power They have restored degree of der The to have been power contlnu ousy the destruction of the Imperial government The succeeding revolutionary governments have been but manes tatons O. Inc power of the Soviets
 The Soveis appear hold their authority and to have the agents necessary to conduct revolutionary paganda among the surrounding European peoples, and far away as the United States.
 There are 186OOQC01 Russians difficult and cold In every surrounding nation there large group with it's leaders, which is either in sympathy with Bolshevis doctrine or with branch of that doctrine,
 Each country holds large and powerful group which is determined 10 end and which is unwilling to fight cia1ly to preserve to destroy particular type of govern ment in Russia.
 Great Britain has its own difficulties The bor party entirely committed the doctrine of self determna 
 and is entirely opposed to further and is sympathetic to- ward the Bolshevists
 Thus ringed about with difficulties George believes no doubt that the quickest way the peace of Europe might be to bring in the Bohest leaders, to if rangement may made that will afford order security at the earliest moment
 The French leadership to be il-dsposed toward rapprochemen with the Russian radicals the debt is important clement and this the hevsts would repudiate Yet at the Council table it might be easier the protection of French bond holders than by methods of force which could not be used except peril that Europe might be plunged into utter anarchy with Boshevist clements dominant everywhere
 The settlement of this important perhaps dominating question may up to President Wilson There but three main open; to abandon Russia to attempt tement of Russian affairs by force eral Russian governments
 would that President Wilson is in position where he might be expected to support Lloyd George There is voved the general principle of solidarity of the English speak ing people, Ar Wilson in his peace points committed the doctrine of self determination which would apply to Russia and to the Bosheys much any group
 The action of the senate which in sentiment has bee1 against interference in Russia is element the preden must consider
 The senate demands inc earliest possible th American soldiers The senate has declared that business in Russia In the morning asserted tha the President hopes have the soldier home b September, 1919.
 In this the President to have but two aerna lives He may counsel with Russia he may leave Russia stew in the juices of her anarchy
 Mr Wilson is versaile he proposed before and h may propose again. amazingly simple successful solution.
