Administration Probably
Awaiting Word From
Great Britain
JAPAN TO BE HEARD
L. S. Does Not Contemplate the EN-
plOymsnt of Military or Naval
Forces Around Russia.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Following
the receipt of the note from France,
approving President Wilson's Russian
Polish policy, the State Department
has embarked on what appears to be
campaign of silence. pending fur
ther developments.
The impression created in official
quarters is that the Administration is
awaiting some word from the other
powers. including particularly Great
Britain, before offering the much
sought-after definition Of the promise
contained in the Colby note to furnish
"all available aid" for the protection
of Poland from political and terri
toral serfdom to the Russian soviet.
1t is obvious that what President
Wilson most desires is an expression
from the other powers pledging sup
port for his policy against any dis
memberment of Russia. Until such is
Forthcoming, it is patent to observers
here that the United States will stand
alocf. Although France apparently
has come to scratch in the matter,
the position of Great Britain and of
Japan is still to he disclosed.
One thing appears to be definite
that the American Government is not
contemplating. and has not at any
stage contemplated .seriopsly,4t the-esn-.
pioyment Of any of its military or
naval forces against Russia. either in
its aid to Poland or to the anti-Bol-
shevik forces of General Wrangel in
South Russia. Consequently. The as
surance comes that the agitation
among radical laborites in this coun-
try on that score is entirely unca!lcd
for. In the first place. the Govern
ment realizes that il could take no
such action without the expressed
sanction of Congress, and the Presi-
dent has no intention of summOning
Congress to Washington to get from
it such authority.
