The diplomats of Europe were not
especially hopeful last week that the
conference at Baranovitchi would
bring about peace between the two
warning nations and were awaiting
the Russian armistice terms with i'm
patience. It was reported that Le-
nine favored moderate terms, while
Trotzky wished them so oppressive
and .humiliating that the Poles would
be forced to continue fighting or over
throw their government if the terms
were accepted.
The press Of Warsaw is especially
skeptical concerning the intentions
and good faith of the soviet Russians,
expressing the belief that the latter
do not want peace.
"Poland is fully aware that negotia-
tions may be broken off any minute
and that, while they last, soviet Rus
sia will make all efforts to cause an
outbreak of bolshevism and revolution
in Poland" the Gazeta Warszawska
declares. Therefore Poland must, in
order to safeguard an honorable peace,
gather all her patriotic spirit and en-
ergy."
The Russian patriot Barzew, now in
Warsaw is quoted by the Corier Po-
ranny as saying:
"I do not believe peace will be made
between Poland and soviet Russia.
The SOVIET regime needs temporary
rest and it will sign an armistice. If
| it signs peace it will mean that the
| soviet rule hopes through propaganda
| to establish a soviet government in
| Poland"
