ALLIES GAN AID POLAND
 IN PEACE TERMS
[Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

LONDON, Aug. S-The presence here of Leo Kameneff, president of the Moscow soviet and acting premier of soviet Russia. and Leonfd Krassin, boi- shevik minister of commerce and trade, who are to confer with allied repre- sentatives, is regarded in Polish circles as having a most important bearing on peace negotiations between Poland and the soviet. A Polish official, in a state ment to the Associated Press today said:
 'If economic conditions in Russia are still as bad as we have reason to think. it would be foolhardy for the soviet to antagonize the allies by trying to inn pose drastic peace terms on Poland. I believe that the allies through Kras- sin, can exert sufficient pressure on the Moscow government to secure terms which Poland can accept"
 British officials who expect the bol- sheviki to deal leniently with Poland are terming absurd reports emanating from Russian sources that Moscow's s first requirement of Poland would be establishment of a soviet form of gov ernment.
 The military position is regarded by some as distinctly favorable to the Poles. It is believed however that fighting will continue until an armis- tice is signed.
 The Moscow report that armistice negotiations with the Poles have been delayed because the Polish delegates were not authorized to negotiate for peace, is taken to indicate that the bolsheviki are adopting the same pro- cedure in coupling armistice with peace negotiations as they did in dealing with the Esthonians.
