betalls of how the Allies are
to finance trade with the people
OF Soviet Russia under the modi
ned Russian blockade have not as
yet been announced. 1t is contended in
some quarters the decision of the Su-
preme Council to reopen trade rela-
tions was not a sudden one, but had
peen the subject Of negotiations for
months, and that the initiative in these
negotiations was taken by Russian CO.
operative societies.
These societies, according to "The
Herald, have maintained a difficult
neutrality ever since the Allies assisted
Russian factions hostile to Leninc and
lrotzky. The newspaper adds that
RUSSIAN purchases will not be limited
to $40 100000. which it is understood
the Soviet government is prepared to
place IN foreign banks as soon as trade
relations are established. 1t contends
that facilities for shipping goods can
be obtained easily.
The Times Attacks Premier
Other newspapers continue to dis
cuss the situation, especially relative
10 the idea that the raising of the
blockade entails the conclusion Of
peace with the Soviet government. THE
Times, which ascribes the decision
to reopen relations entirely to Premier
Lloyd George. attacks the Premier
severely, and says: "The statement that
this decision leaves unchanged the at
tltude OF the Allies toward the Bolshe-
vlk government is regarded as pal
pable and insolent untruth.'
The newspaper further contends
that Lenine and his colleagues will
certainly seize whatever goods are
consigned to cooperative societies, and
expresses the opinion that Mr.. Lloyd
Georges regard for home politics and
advanced Laborites had more to do
with the decision than the sound views
honor"
The Chronicle" firm supporter of
the Premier, attributes the decision
to the Supreme Council at Paris, and
says: The pretense that the Council
is dealing only with the coope ratve
societies and not the Soviet govern
ment is camouhage."
Demands Definite Decision
The newspaper Iurther contends
must make up their minds whether
It Is going TO De peace or war with the
Bolshevik. and if not prepared for
war ought without delay to take the
lead in making peace and not indulge
in a miserable scramble OF successive
capituiations.
Definite peace is coming. says The
Daily News which adds that starva-
ton in Europe is forcing the Allies to
end hostilities
The truth which this deviation into
sense and humanity brings home" says
The News 'is that force has failed,
as il always does fail when employed in
conflict with an idea'
