SAYS BOLSHEV|KI
AIM To DESTROY
BASES Of PEACE
HarmSWorth Asserts Allies
Fight in Russia Only to
Support Conference.
By EDWIN HULLINGER.

By United Press:
LONDON, April Cecil Harms
worth, under-secretary Of state for
foreign affairs, declared in an inter
view with the United Press today
that the allies are fighting in Rus
sia because the bolsheviki are open
ly proclaiming their determination
to destroy the foundations upon
which peace is being determined in
Paris
He denied that the allies are ac-
tuated by a desire to safeguard Brit
ish and French financial interests.
or that the allies are supporting
reactionary elements in Russia
Explains Allied Refusal
The refusal of the allied govern
ments 10 recognize the bOlsheviki."
said Harmsworth, lis due TO the fol-
lowing facts:
The bolshevik do not represent
the Russian people as shown by their
overthrow Of the constituent assem-
bly, and their refusal TO grant free
dom of the press or the right Of
public meetings to rival political or
ganizarions
They have openly proclaimed
themselves enemies OF the league of
nations and are determined to upset
the very foundations upon which
peace is being deterSiined in Paris.
Hostile to Entente.
with cynical indifference to the
interests of their country, they made
peace with Germany and during the
latter part of the war acted with
open hostility 10 the entente.
The allies supported the govern
ments of Tchaikovski. Kolchak and
Deniken. because these govern
ments. formed every political party
in Russia except the bolsheviki,
openly stand for restoration Of Rus
sia And when this is accomplished
they will call a national constituent
assembly 10 determine the future
form of government. They also have
maintained an alliance with west
ern Europe and America and de-
spite overwhelming difficulties have
refused terms with either the Ger
mans or the bolsheviki. who betray-
ed their country and brought It to
ruin. II is untrue that any Of these
governments are openly working for
restoration of the monarchy. Tchai-
kovski and his government certain
lv are not monarchistic.

QuibbIe Over Details.
As has been stated for three weeks
past, the hour for definite decisions

the conference. For days there has
been quibbling over the details One
person in authority declared today
it would not be wrong 20 say tech

Want Steadier Basis
The strong suggestion for recall

questions"
