RED HORRORS MUST
 END BEFORE PEACE
Until This, Allies Will Not Deal
 With SoViets.
TO SUPPORT BORDER STATES
Decision of the Entente Precludes Resumption of Friendly Relations
 With Moscow for Some Time-Do
 Not Advise Border Warfare.

London, Feb. 24.-The Allies will decline to deal with soviet Russia, un- til they have arrived at the conviction that the Bolshevists' horrors have come to an end, it was announced aft CT a meeting of the Allied supreme council today.
 The decision of the supreme coun- Gil, 1t was recognized precludes diplo- matic relations between the Allied governments and the Moscow admin lStration in the immediate future
 The council expressed itself as pleased that the international labor bureau had decided to send a delega- tion to Russia to stu6y conditions but 1t stated it's belief that supervision of the delegation should be under the council of the league of nations, giv- ing the investigators greater author ity.
 Do Not Favor War.
 The council, it was stated. decided that the Allies could not accept the responsibility of advisings the border states to continue war against the Bol- sheviki which course by such states might be injurious to their interests. If the Bolsheviki attacked within the territory of the border states however,
 
 support
 Councils Decision. If the communities which border the frontiers of soviet Russia and whose independence or defacto au- tonomy they have recognized were to approach them and ask for ad- vice as to what attitude they should take with regard to soviet Russia, the Allied governments would reply that , they cannot accept the responsibility or advising them to continue war, which may be injurious to their own interests. Still less would they ad- wise them to adopt a policy of az gression toward Russia. If, how ever. soviet Russia attacks them in side their legitimate frontiers, the AL lies will give them every possible support
 The Allies cannot enter into dip lomatic relations with the soviet gov ernment, in view of their ast expert ences until they have arrived at the conclusion that the Bolshevists hor- TOTS have come to an end and the , government at Moscow is ready to conform its methods and diplomatic conduct to those of all civilized gov ! ernments.
 Grievances Outlined. The British and Swiss governm ents were both compelled to expel repre- sentatives of the soviet government, | from their respective countries be- cause they had abused their privi- leges. Commerce between Russia and the rest of Europe which is so es- sential for the improvement of eco- homie conditions not only in Russia but in the rest of the world will be encouraged to the utmost degree pos sible without relaxation of the atti- 1 tude described above
 Furthermore, the Allies agree in 1 the belief that it is highly desirable ! to obtain impartial and authoritative { information regarding conditions now ! prevailing in Russia. They have therefore noted with satisfaction the proposal before the inter-labor bureau : which is a branch of the league of nations, to send a commission of in vest igation to Russia to cXa nm inc into 1 the facts. They think, however, that this inquiry will be invested with even greater authority and with superior ! chances of success if it were made on ! the initiative and conducted under tn e 1 supervision of the council of the 1 league of nations itself, and they in I Nite that body to take action in this decision.
 After the supreme council had fin ished it's conclusions with regard to ! Russia it again took up the Turkish | question hearing the report of the 1 izelos of Greece was then summoned 1 Gil.
