For Polish Peace.
London-Ths reply Of tho Russian
soviet government to the British note
concerning an armistice with Poland,
rejects in substance the British peace
proposals.. accordings to the London
Times. which publishes a summary Of
the soviet answer.
The Bolsheviki decline to come to
London for the suggested peace con-
ference, according to the Times, be-
cause they say Great Britain is not
impartial. They also object to the ad-
mission to the conference OF delegates
from the Baltic states, saying Russia
already has made peace with them.
As to Poland, the Bolshevik govern
ment points out that the proposed ar
mistice line is unfair to Poland. and
that with direct negotiations the Boil
sheviki are prepared to grant Poland
q much more favorable frontier.
