ment proposes to be reckoned with in
the settlements which may be made,
and that America still is q factor.
That every effort will be made to cir
culate the American note in Russia
itself. was the belief expressed here
today.
The note not only makes it clear
TO the Russian people that the United
States is a friend. but it also makes
it clear that. in the view of the Ameri
can government. the people of Rus
STA can best help themselves by the
elm nation of the bolshevist regime.
1t i'll be remembered that the United
s. IS took the same position with
Jard to the German people and the
i perial government of that country.
Great Britain. France and the allied
md associated powers have been
given copies of the American govern
ments note.
The fact that the note was address,
ed to Italy rather than to Great
Britain or France was discussed gem
orally in official and diplomatic quar-
expressed that Italy in requesting a
statement of the American govern
mentS views was acting in entire ac-
cord with it's allies.
While Italy has not taken an active
part in the discussions between the
Russian-Polish situation, it was stated
that its interest in the situation
created by the bolshevik advance into
Poland was no less than that of Eng
land and France, that it was equally
DESTROYS as they in developing the
viewpoint of the United States.
Divergence of Views.
Whether there will be further ex-
changes between America and the al
lies will depend largely, it was said,
upon events in Poland. AS the Amer
views, any further move would be ex-
pected to be on the initiative of the
European governments.
While the United States and the al
lies apparently are in accord as to
the future of Poland, the divergence
of views as to Russia was sufficient
ly marked as to cause comment The
posi- ton taken by this country against
reco gnition of the Independent Baltic
states and the republics of Georgia
and AZerbaidjan was said in admins
tration circles to be consistent with

Suggested to Save Expense.
If the auditors were drawn from
either this city or nearby places, such
as Baltimore, it is declared, expenses
Of the semi-annual audit would be
materially lessened, and the increased
rates in transportation is pointed to
as another argument.
This proposition will be vigorously
pushed by Local No. 2 at the conven-
ton. The local, composed of clerks
and other workers in the departments
here, has a membership reputed to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000
This big union has eight delegates
to the national convention, a Phila-
delphia union coming second with
six delegates. The three other federal
employees unions here have a total
of eleven delegates between them. SO
hold a majority.
Five for WOman's Local.
Local No. 105, composed of woman
workers at the bureau of engraving
and printing, has five delegates to the
convention. Local No. SO. composed
of District employees, has three votes
and Local No. II, composed of colored
workers in the government here. has
three votes.
Members Of the three other unions
do not believe that No. will have
everything its own way at the con-
vention. despite its preponderance OF
votes, and point to the fact that the
other three unions united can outvote
No. 2.
