Wrargel's Crushing Defeat
Regarded as Vindication of
Lloyd Georges Policy to
Deal With Reds.
BY FRED S. FERGUSON.

United News Staff Correspondent.
New York, Nov. 16.-France is
again left high and cry without a
Russian policy.
She has given moral backing to
every anti-bolshevik force that has
appeared, in the hope of eventually
overthrowing Trotsky and Lenine,
and in the crushing defeat suffered
by General Wrangel, French prestige
has been dealt quite a blow.
France recognized WrangeHs rath-
er flimsy organization as a de jure
government at a time when Lloyd
George was in the midst of negoti-
atoms with Bolshevik representatives
looking toward the opening of trade
relations. 1t brought on a near crisis
in Anglo French affairs.
Lloyd George indicated.
The result was that France went
one way and England the other as to
Russian policy. Now Lloyd George
stands indicated, at least to the ex-
tent of having made a better guess on
how the anti-bolshevik campaign
would urn out.
France to date has persistently re-
fused to deal with the Moscow gov
eminent in any way, but must now
desert this policy, or search for an
other leader to back in the hope OF
overthrowing the red" government.
In return for French support Cen
eral Wrangel had promised to honor
the millions Of dollars worth of Rus
sian bonds held in France and the
French policy has been largely in
