NEW YORK, July 20.-The pol

Open ParlCys.
Russian patriots and democrats
could Justly object to the very fact
that some of tae allied statesmen
did not hesitate 20 open parleys with
nc bolsheviki. Russia lies in ruin
because of her loyalty and sacrifices
for the allied cause. and with this
cause the anti bOlsheVist forces IN
l;ussia remained affiliated through
an their activities By abandoning
the anti bolshevist forces, the allies
are abandoning their friends and
are rendering support go the enemies
nOt only of the Russian people but
OF their own cause and of their own
peoples as we'll.
ON the other hand. if the allied
statesmen. upon deciding TO open
parleys with the holsheNk would
be concerned at least TO "A small de
gree a bout the interests of the Rus
sian people, the form of the par
leys and its contents would differ

The bolshevist gentlemen could be
addressed In a plain language They
could be reminded by the represen-

staged in Russia during the last two

positive result even from their own
