POLES ARE SKEPTICAL
AS TO SOVIET PEACE
No Assurances Bolsheviks Would
Keep Promises-Al1ies Watch
Negotiations.

LONDON, February 6.-Diplomatic
advices from Warsaw state that For
eisn Minister Patek declares that one
of the most important questions to
be decided in connection with the
peace proposals OF the Russian boil
sheviki is as to what assurance there
would be that the soviet government
would keep it's promises.
The minister also has raised the
question Of who would guarantee sup
port to Poland in the event that she
should make peace with the boil
sheviki and the latter should violate
the pact.
LONDON. February (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-The peace discussion
between the Poles and the bolsheviki
are being watched in diplomatic quar-
ters here with the deepest interest.
since the general feeling is that the
peace of Europe depends upon wheth-
er the treaty is signed. In other words.
Poland Is regarded as the keystone
of the present situation, and it is felt
that as long as hostilities continue be
tween Poland and soviet Russia tran
auillity cannot be re-established i'll
the rest of Europe.
The allies do not propose to use
Poland as an arrowhead to pierce
bolshevik Russia. The allies cannot
advising Poland to attack the boil
sheviki, nor can the allies promise
assistance to Poland in suchN event
Should the bolsheviki make an un-
provoked assault that would alter the
situation. Polands attention has been
stablishing certain trade relations
with Russia. Whether Poland shall
make peace with the bolsheviki is a
matter for her alone to decide.

Religious feelings in Germany have

are reluctant to give substantial tips,
making the position of the employees
very difficult.
In Italy the situation is even more Sc
rious Here the strikes have more of q
political character than a struggle for
higher wages and shorter hours AT
present the fight is between the en-
ployes and the government as the en-
ployer. The strike of the post and tele-
graph employees ceased few days ago
and gave place to the much more se-
rious action Of the railway men. who
walked out on the Goth. The govern
ment tried to cope with the situation
with the aid of volunteers from the
army, and succeeded in running few
trains on the main lines. 1 Travelled
from Nice to Milan on a train protected
by soldiers in war-k kit and with machine
guns on the engine. Troops with fixed
bayonets are guarding the lines, but
trains are frequently fired upon and
up to the present no serious accident
has occurred. The service is irregular.
and it happens occasionally that the
station masters tell the passengers
that the train can go no further and
they are compelled to have recourse
to old mule carts, for which they have
to pay as much as for motor cars.
I do not know how much such
strikes will help to level the unjust
distribution Of wealth" in Italy. but
at present they obviously hamper the
serious efforts Of the nation to recover

have gone to work most seriously

tion really means to take a promi-

those of the railway and postal en-
ployes, which are mainly due to socialist
propaganda, gravely interfere with the
