nesday gave voice to this feeling in
a statement to the house Of commons.
He said, IF ever q nation in history

of victory" If the Russian bolsheviki
decline to come to terms, the allies
will give material aid not only to the
Poles, but also to Gen. Baron Wrangel
and others who are fighting the soviet
government.
