SOVIET GOVERNMENT :

PLAN TO FEED RUSSIA

Paris, April 19.-Sov1ot govern
ment will accept the allied pro-
posa for feeding Russia, or the
plan will precipitate sharp differ
ences of opinion among the Boshe-
Wiki, in tho opinion of American
delegates tonight.
"Such course would involve
cessation of all hostiIities within
definite lines in Russia, which
necessitate complete suspension of
the transfer of troops and mater
ials," said one official, in explain
ing why some of the Bolsheviki
would view the proposition with
distrust.
"Such of the Soviet officials as
would be suspicious would sec in
the situation thus created condi-
ton in which tho Soviet troops
would be rendered helpless, If the
allies so desired, while the other
Russian and allied troops would be
free to carry on their campaign.
