Paris, April 3.-Thc Russian soviet
government is not asking for recogni-

learned from authoritative sources to.
day. The pr position recently submit
ted to- the peace conference by Premier
Lcnine summed up, is substantially:
"Make peace with Us, enabling us to
end the numerous little wars that are
being waged on Russian territory.
Cliff the blockade so as Il permit
US TO get food and materials.
"Then we viii make good and you
can recognize us-if you care to. ="
Seperate Peace Possible.
The Russians, it is understood. are
also willing TO make a separate peace
with the associated powers, that is,
without including the new Hungarian
soviet government in the pact. BY max.
ing peace with the Russians is naturally
meant withdrawal of all allied forces
from Russia and cessation of participa.

Odessa district.

mental machinery to purely national af
fairs, in which he expects to show il is
possible for a system to succeed in
which rich man cannot get anything
merely because he is rich.
The Russians attitude IS that such
military operations as they are now
carrying on are in self defense. II is
known that the peace conference is
giving consideration to the latest re
ports FROM Russia and is becoming i'm.
pressed with accumulation Of evidence
that violence and bloodshcd nrc not
stopping bolshcvism. .
Serious Consideration Given.
An instance Of this is contained in re.
ports reaching here from Copenhagen
regarding the reception accorded Gen
eral Mmnerheim in neutral countries

movement in Finland by killing hun

In view of the reports of serious food
conditions, as well as the spread of
typhus IN Russia, coupled with danger
of a Russo-German alliance, the peace
conference is said to be considering
whether the associated powers can af
ford to ignore the present opportunity
to effect an immediate agreement with
the Lcnine government.
