COMMERCE NEW WEAPON

London, Feb. 11.--Dealing with the
situation IN Russia, Premier Lloyd
George'in his speech in the house of
commons yes erday said he agreed
with the view that Europe could not
be restored without putting Russia,
with all her strength and resources.s
Into circu alton"
Bolshevism was possibly efficient
said the premier, but 1t was not de-
mocracy, and Russia must be restored
under an antiBolsheyik regime.
"Bolshevism cannot be crushed by
force Of arms, continued the pre-
m-er. II held that opinion a year
ago. but my advice. rendered on that
assumption to the warning factions,
was declined. 1t was necessary to
give the anti Bolshevists a chance to
recover Russia, but they failed. The
failure was no. due to Jack OF equip
ment, but to more fundamental
causes"
The premier contended that the
suggested ring CT fire" to crush the
Balsheviki was impossib 9 because 1t
was doubtful whether Finland would
consent, and the Baltic states, he
pointed out, were making peace with
Russia. while Roumania was really
engaged In watching the Hungarian
front and the Japanese were disin-
clined toward the ideas. Moreover.
he added, neithed France, the United
Sta es, Italy nor Great Britain was
willing to provide the funds.
Until they are assured that the
Bolsheyiki have dropped the methods
of barbarism in favor of civilized
government" he said, mo civilized
community in the world Is prepared
to make peace with them. Further,
there IS no established government
possessing the right to speak for the
who-e of European Russia. We failed
to restore Russia to sanity by force.
