The game of catching her is in.
firitely dangerous, one OF extreme
delicacy. 1t is game upon which
depends the fate of the woyld, and
must be carefully watched lest the
Germans reach over and grab the
prize.
The allies must leave pride and
sentiment aside. The fact OF having
kept it's head above water for so
long, in spite of all assumption %
the contrary, does not prove any ex-
cellence OF the Soviet regime. But
there il no use denying facts.
The Soviet Republic is becoming a
government. Its army has beaten all
who opposed it,. The enemies OF the
Soviet regime try to explain away the
Soviet victories. But explanations 40
not prevent the soldiers of Toucha-
chewski (Bolshevik generalismo) from
marching over Poland.
Even IL the blind men of the en-
tente refuse to recognize II, there
is such thing as BolsheVist

of Nations, whose existence he had
never been officially advised OF, show
ed himself a master of diplomacy.
Lenine still controls Russia.
Let the allies remember this, and
remember 1t when discussing the
Russian problem, for there is only
ono point worth considering and
that is the peace of the world.
when Russia signs peace with Pc.
land. general peace with Russia and
recognition of the Soviet government
ought to be near. Particularly will
this be true II Russia is wise enough
TO show broad mindedncss and gener-

when by the Treaty of Versailles
the allies created an independent Po-
land. together with a series of small

border. the object was to form a
barrier around Germany, a barrier

The idea was an excellent one, but
difficult to carry out, as subsequent
