Russia's Opportunity

THE world awaits with profound interest
1 the outcome Of the invitation which the
peace conference has sent to tho warning
factions In Russia. At the instance Of Pres
ident Wilson. the statesmen Of the five great
powers. assembled at Paris have proposed
that these factions name representatives to
meet with representatives Of the allied ma
tions on February s at Princes Island in
the Sea Of Marmora. The decision was
victory for those who have argued in behalf
of policy OF disnterested friendship toward
Russia and against intervention. 1t is i'm
possible to forecast the result
The invitation recognizes the revolution,
and formally pledges the allied governments
not to support any counter-revolutionary
movement aimed at a restoration Of the mon
archy. All that is asked condition pre-
cedent to acceptance of the invitation, is
that the warning factions lay down their
arms and agree that any government which
they eventually establish shall undertake the
payment Of Russia's financial obligations. AS
emphatically as words can make it, the pro-
posal makes it plain that none Of the allied
nations desires any territory or other con-
cessions. save that there shall be an imme-
date lowering Of the economic barriers so
that trade may be resumed and supplies sent
in to the starving multitudes Of Russia.
Though addressed to all factions, the pro-
posa is directed mainly to the Bolsheviki,
is not-to-be-avoded test Of the good faith
of the leaders OF that party. They have de-
manded peace and they have claimed that
they have the interests OF Russia at heart.
Now is the time for them to prove their sin
cerity. Refusal to accept the proposal that
they enter the suggested conference on an
equal footing with the other Russian fac
tons would mean one Of two things-either
an uncompromising attitude toward any pro-
gram OF Russian reconstruction not based on
the precepts Of anarchy that has thus far
characterized their policy, or a lack Of con-
fdence in their ability to stand comparison
between their program and that of other fac
tons in Russia.
The allied governments can admit Russia
into the peace conference at Paris only when
there is certainty that there exists in Rus
STA a government capable Of pledging that
country to the agreements therein arrived at
Otherwise it can have no voice in the de-
alterations Of that body.
There is no suggestion In the invitation as
to what the allied governments purpose doing
with the Russian situation if the invitation
is not accepted. That bridge must be crossed
when 1t Is reached. The thing that should
interest the real friends Of Russia in Russia
is the fact that fair chance as could
be devised has been offered and that at the
instance OF the spokesman for tho oldest re-
public existing in the world to-day.
