MAY RECOGNIZE SOVIET RUSSIA,

according to London report
there is likely soon to be q COM
pletc change Of policy on the part
Of Great Britain and the other
principal Allied powers with refer
ence 10 Soviet Russia.
OF course any such change of
Dolcy will be deeply humiliating
after all that has been said and
done to aid the anti-Bolshcvik
forces on the various Russian
fronts. In view. however, of the
many recent victories Of the Boil
shevik armies on all fronts, and
particularly on The Northern and
Eastern fronts where the opposing
forces. even though aided by the
Allies have been practically de
stroyed, the choice for the future
seems TO lie between anETHHU
and fierce war by the Allies against
Soviet Russia and recognition by
the Allies Of that much bcraied re-
gimc.
Ii is said that during the recent
conference nj London of The Pre-
micrs of France and Great Britain
and representatives Of other allied
nations. the Russian situation was
reviewed thoroughly, and it was
decided to assume more mild and
conciliatory attitude than hereto
fore toward The Russian Soviet
Governments As n result of this
inclusion il is understood that
the blockade Of Russia will soon
be abolished altogether, and that
other steps toward the recognition
0i the existing Russia will follow
within short time.

This vote on the 10Th comes from
Washington by Associated Press:
Efforts TO break the senate peace
treaty dea ilock ard keep the trea
ty out Of the political campaign
were advanced a step on the 10Th.
when Republican senator's, advo-
eating ratification. drew up coun-
ter proposal TO the set Of comprom-
Use reservations submitted to them
early in the week by Il group of
Democrats.
The Republican proposal. to
which its sponsors said Senator
Lodge. Of Massachusetts. the party
leader. had given tentative assent,
was understood to deal with some
of the collateral issues in the reser-
walton controversy. leaving to flu
turc negotiation The troublesome
questions of article Ten and quail
ity Of voting power in The league Of
nations.
Some of The Democratic suggcs-
tons were said TO have been ac-
Ccptrd. including Il change in tn
Republican reservation program Of
last session. SO thai the shcatc quail
iiications would not have to be ac-
cepted afiirmativcly by the other
powers. Agreement TO these chang
cr. however, was understood to be
conditional on certain concessions
by Democrats i'm regard to other
reservations.
The counter proposal was draft
cd by mild reservation Republicans
and submitted to Senator Lodge
before being laid before the Demo-
Gratis. Senator's Of this group said
aftcrward that Mir. Lodge showed
Willingness TO have the negotiations
proceed.
As a result both the mild group
and the Democrats declared pro-
grCss had been made, and were
hopeful that at last the controversy
would be stripped Of most of its
minor features and narrowed to
two or three subjects. Many of
them predicted also that when the
time came. big stumbling blocks
of articles ten and voting equally
also could be removed AID ratiii-
cation secured.
Submission to the counter propo-
sal co the Democrats came after
the senate adjourned al the end of
Il day, which had kept the chamber
and cloak rooms alive wicth treaty
talk. Not once was the subject
mentioned on the floor, but it wa.
the burden of many private con-
fcreEccs among senator's on both
sides.

WILSON TO JACKSON DAY BARQUE1ERS
EXCI:RI'S

The United States enjoyed 4
spiritual leadership of the world
until the Senate of the United States
failed to rutify the treaty by
which the beligcrcnt nations sought
TO eftec: The settlements for which
they had fought throughout the
war. 1t IS uncomfortable that a!
this supreme crisis and the final
turning point i'm the intcrna
tiOnal relations Of III" whole world
when The results of the great war
are by no means determined and
are still questionable and depend
ant upon events which no man can
forescc or count upon. thc United
States should withdraw from the
concert Of progressive and en-
hghtcned nations by which Ger
many was defeated and all sim
similar governments, Gf the world
be so unhappy as TO Cantain any
warned of the certain consc-
quences Of any attempt of like
iniQuity. and yet thai is the effect
OF the course the senate Of the
United States has taken with re-
gard to the treaty Of Versailles.
Germany is beaten. but we arc
still ut war with her, and the
old stage is reset for repetition
OF the old plot. II is now ready
for the resumption of the old Of
fcnsivc and defensive alliances
which made settled peace impos-
sible. 1t is now open again to
former .abominablc activities. They
are again ut liberty to make it
impossible for governments TO be
sure what mischief is being work
cd among their own people, what
internal disorders are being TO-
mented. Without the covenant OF
the League Of Nations, there may
he as many secret treaties as
ever, to destroy the confidence of
governments in each other, and
their validity cannot be question
cd.
II have cndearorcd to make il
TO say what the undoubted mean
reasonable objection to interpre-
lions accompanying the act of
ratiticatio itself. But when the
treaty is acted upon, I must know
whether il means that we have
ratified or rejected il. We cannot
rc-writc this treaty. We must
take it without changes. which al
ter its meaning. or leave il and
then, after the rest OF the world
has signed it, we must face the un-
thinkablc task Of making another
and separate kind of treaty with
Germany.
Il spoke just now of the spiritual
leadership Of the United States
thinking of International affairs
But there is another spiritual lead
crship. which is open to us and
which we can assume. The world
has been made safe for democracy,
but democracy has not been finally
vindicated. All sorts of crimes
are being committed in It's name,
all sorts Of prcpostcrous pcrvcr-
sions of lis doctrines and practices
are being attempted. This, in my
Judgment, is 10 be the great privil-
ego of the democracy Of the United
States, to show that il can lead the
way III the solution of the great So
cial and industrial problems of our
time. and lead inc way to n happy.
settled order of life. as we'll as TO
political liberty"

PEACE RElGNS IN EUROPE.

Ratification of the treaty Of Yer

between Germany, France. Great
Britain and the other allied and
associated powers, with The exc Dt-
ion Of the United States. became
effective at 4:16 o'clock on the after
noon Of the 9th.
The outstanding comment that
night on the ceremony was that il
leaves the United States the only
power which was actively at war
with Germany not now on the
peace basis. That was the note
sounded by Baron Kurt Won Kers-
ner, head Of German peace delegate
ion. iii statement to the Associat-
I'd Press Immediately after the GER
cmony.
II am naturally happy that peace
has finally become effective" Bar
on Won Kcrsner said. MY great
regret is that the United States is
the only country with which Ger
many is still i'm "A state Of war.
hope, however. that This situation
viii soon be changed.
Execution OF the treaty of Yer
salllcS imposes upon Germany the
heaviest sacrifices ever borne by Il
nation in modern LINES. We 'osl in
the west and in The cast territories
that belonged to Prussia for many
centuries. We have assumed cnor-
nous obligations. Nevertheless, !
am very glad ulai peace rs at last
rccstabliShed, because it will give
back TO Germany her beloved sons
still prisoners abroad"
Asked as 10 thc execution Of the
terms OF The treaty, Baron Won
kerSncr declared that Germany vas
ready and determined to do her ut
most. He continued:
we have already, even without
being Obliged by The terms of the
treaty. delivered a considerable
quantity Of products. including two
and one half million tons Of coal
TO France. and ] can say that Ger.
many will go TO The utmost limit
