Staff Correspondent, The Federated
Press.

DETROIT, Mich.-That European i'm
perialism is facing speedy doom is
the forecast of Lieutenant Colonel B.
Roustam Bek, military expert of So
Wet Russia in the U. s.. now in this
city to assist in medical relief work for
Russia.
"Poland, Germany, France and Eng
land are next in line for the dissolu.
ton of the imperialist order and the
establishment of soviet rule" said
Colonel Bek who has studied the mat.
terfrom an economic as well as mill
tary point of view.
Reviewing recent press dispatches
with regard to activities of the Polish
military forces, he ventured the pro.
pheey, based upon the thorough study
of the military map. that "the recent
defeat of the Poles will be followed
by real strategic disaster the con-
sequences of which will be revolu-
tion in Poland, and only the establish
ment of soviet in Warsaw can stop
the Russian advance"
Pointing to the strategic positions
held by the Soviet troops on all fronts,
he continued:
"Russia does not care much for re-
cognition by the government of other
countries. She is so strong and so sure
today that it doesn't matter whether
she is recognized by other governments
or not. -
That England is now paying the
penalty for the blockade which the
Lloyd George government undertook
against Soviet Russia, was laid down
with emphasis by Colonel Bek, when
asked how far the blockade was effect
i've in fulfilling the purpose for which
1t was instituted: 1.-THE stupid blockade
which was the creation Of England
harmed England more than it did
Russia and Russians know that. The
negotiations now reported going on
between representatives Of the British
s. government and spokesmen for Soviet
Russia mean that England eapitulates
and now tries to obtain the best that
she can."
Colonel Bek was then asked TO
render a brief statement covering the
latest developments regarding the mill
tary situation in Russia and its effect
upon the outerworld. He dictated the
following:
According to news from Moscow,
naturally altered by the censor in favor
of the Poles as for instance in the
message dated June 18th, which stated
that the Poles, on being forced to
evacuate Kiev, have drowned in the
Dnieper river 800 "reds" and had
taken 100000 prisoners. the cavalry
under General Buduny in Volinia and
Podolia has succeeded in capturing
Zshitomir, Korostichev and several
places between the Zsitomir and Be-
ditchev railway and west of Kiev.
Furthermore, on the river Teterev
the railway station Borodianko has

also been captured and at Wasilkov on
the Giev-M0hilev- -Podolia railway,
several stations southwest of Kiev are
in possession of Reds, and in Wasilkov.
90 miles southeast of Kiev, the Poles
have been defeated and have fled in
disorder to the northwest.
"This means that all of the three
strategic railroads which form the
means of communication of Kiev with
the rear of the Poles has been cut off
by the Russians, and it is probable
the Poles have not succeeded in escap-
ing as was reported from Warsaw.
"In the center or along the Pripit
river in the Mozir region, the Russians
are holding the Poles, avoiding any
decisive movement. This is readily
comprehensive for the Russians are
accomplishing a strategic encircling
movement
"There is not much news about the
Northern front. but from study of
the dispatches one can see the Russians
theoretically pushing the enemy toward
Minsk and Volina. 1t is very likely
that both places have passed into the
hands of the Russians.
Choking at the map one realizes
that the Poles do not shorten the front
as suggested by Eropean military ex-
perts, but are fleeing in disorder. with
out ever thinking Of any other front
which they cannot create with their
demoralized imperialist forces.
"This defeat of the Poles will be
followed by a real strategic disaster
the consequences of which will be a
revolution in Poland; and only the
establishment of a Soviet in Warsaw
can stop the Russian advance.
"0nce established, the German work
ers will not lose an opportunity to
overthrow the Ebert coalition govern.
ment and join Russia and Poland in
Soviet government.
"France will be next, and those who
have been witnessing the happenings in
France will agree with me.
cit can now be readily realized
why England is hurrying to establish
friendly relations with Russia. First,
because she is hard pressed in Asia
on account of the rapid rise of the
influence of Moscow upon the mussul-
men. Second, because she believes that
by recognizing the Soviet she can
escape the fate Of France.
"But in any case the whole endeavor
Of Lloyd George and his political col
leagues will not prevent the establish
emnt of a purely labor government in
England.
"It does not matter much whether
Russia is recognized or not. Russia is
so strong. so sure, she doesn't think
or care about recognition. That time
is past and nobody will deny that the
negotiations in London between the
British cabinet and the Bolsheviki
representatives means that England
capitulates and now tries to obtain the
best that she can.
"The Russian people fought for in.
dependence, got it and will continue
to fight for it, knowing it will be
victorious in the end"

vogue. There is considerable re-
sentiment among property owners
all over town against those of the
city commissioners who voted in
favor of letting the contract at the
higher price, who seemingly are
more interested in the prosperity
of the paving company than in that
of the property owners. If the
property owners on Gold avenue or
elsewhere relish the idea of being
held up, that is their business, bur
my suggestion would be that no
further paving contracts be let un-
til there is some real competition,
or until the paving company now
operating here offers to do the
work at a more reasonable figure.
In fact, | can see no reason why
the city should not own a paving
plant and do the work for the pro-
perty owners at actual cost, which
is being done successfully in other
cities.
