Poland by all possible means, and sus.
picion of any assistance to Germany
seems to be apparent, as French news
papers have recently been outspoken
in opposition to the policy of Lloyd
George.
The third important member of the
alliance, Italy, was not represented at
Hythe, but it is asserted she is in
entire accord with Mr.. Lloyd George,
and has opened diplomatic relations
with Soviet Russia, although her al
lies have refused to take similar
steps.
That Mr.. Lloyd Georges policy to.
ward the Bolsheviki will eventually
triumph in this country, seems as
sured by the strong attitude taken by
labor.
Believe Labor Won't Strike.
There is no question that the labor
leaders are entirely in earnest, and
there is every indication they will be
supported by the workers of Great
Britain if they seek to enforce by d
general strike their demand that the
country shall not be committed to
further war-like enterprises.
PARIS, Aug. 10.-The military de-
cisions reached at the Hythe confer
ence between Premiers Lloyd-George
and Millerand and their advisors were
as follows, according to the French
foreign office:
Troops Called Unnecessary.
First, that it was impracticable and
| unnecessary to send allied troops to
Poland.
Second, the integrity of Poland's
western frontier was guaranteed
| (This palpably means that any effort
| by Germany to use the present crisis
| in an attempt to regain any Of the ter
ritory ceded to Poland under the
treaty Of Versailles would be decisive
| ly negatived by the alGes.)
| Third, that blockade measures
against Russia might possibly be tax.
en- later, French opinion questioning
| the effectiveness of such action, how.
ever.
Considered Defensive Alliance.
Another measure considered consists
OF forming a defensive front against
Russia by appealing to Letvia, Ii.
tijuana, Caucasus and Azerbaijan, as
well as other states formerly parts OF
the Russian empire.
General Wrangel, the anti-Bolshevik
leader in southern Russia would be
supported by both England and
France and Poland would naturally re-
Ceive every material and moral aid. II
she should be cut off from Danzig, ma
terials might be sent to her through
CZecho-Slovakia.
There was no question of sending
French and British troops to Poland
Should the Bolsheviki continue stub
born and provocative attitude, the
| Soviet trade mission in London will
be given a week to leave that city, and
the commercial negotiations, which
might have been soon transformed into
political conversations, would be brok
en- off.
Won't Appeal to League.
1.-THE pTemiers at one time" the
Havas dispatch adds, considered ap
pealing to the league of nations tc
settle the Russo-Poland problem, but
were obliged to recognize that the
league as yet lacks means of acting
and that the experiment might result
in failure, which would have a regret
table effect on the future of that or
ganiZation.
Railroad men throughout France
will strike if called upon to transpor
troops to Poland, according to resolu
tons adopted at a meeting here
tonight M. Bidegaray, general secre
tary Of the federation of railway men
who was recently re-installed in tina
position after being dismissed at the
time of his defeat at the hands of ex
tremists of the organization, wa:
present at the meeting, and announced
the passage of the resolution.
Reports of disagreements between
French officers and Poland and the
Polish general staff has caused the
French public to take an unfavorablt
view of the situation. There is deeI
feeling against military Intervention
and such step would be very I'm
popular.
France said General Mirbel, tt
the Associated Press today, must b,
defended on the line of the Rhine i
Bolshevism threatens.'
Premier Millerand returned to this
city early today from Hythe, Eng.
where he conferred with Premie
Lloyd George relative to the Polisl
situation.
He refused to make any statements
on the result of the conference, havin,
promised the British premier to sa.
nothing until after the latter ha
spoken in the house of commons.
