RUSS-POLES SIGN
PRELIMINARY PACT
"A PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY
AND WITHOUT vANoUIsHED,"
SAYS RUSSIAN
GIVE AND TAKE IN TREATY
Armistice Will Put Soviets at Peace
With All Their Balkan Neigh.
bors.-General Wranqel 10
Now Only Enemy

Riga, Oct. 13--A preliminary peace
treaty and armistice was signed by
the Polish and Russian soviet peace
delegates here at 7:1O O'Clock last
night. The armistice actually becomes
effective at midnight on October IS
that is, IA hours from midnight last
night.
The announcement that peace was
to be signed brought great crowds to
the square surrounding the Black
Head house. NJ. Joffe and the Boil
sheviki delegation entered the hall
first and were followed by NJ. Domb-
ski and the Polish delegation. About
200 persons including the entire dip.
lomatic body and prominent Lettish
officials crowded the small room. many
of them standing. Considerable delay
ensued, due to the physical work nee
essary for the completion of the
treaties for signature. Tired by more
than five days and nights of almost
constant work, M. JOffe looked ex-
tremely pale, but his voice showed no
nervousness when he announced with
out rising, that the treaty had been
completed, and began reading the Rus
sian text.
The head of the soviet delegation
described the Riga peace as "a peace
without victory and without vanquish-
ed" in brief address before the
signature of the treaty. He described
the Riga agreement accurately, as it
appeared to disinterested OnlOOkers.
1t was peace of give and take. which
those who have followed the course of
events fear will not be popular, either
with the Bolsheviki or the Poles. But
it is undoubtedly triumph for two
chairmen who made it, and the spirit
Of Cancellation with which they hand
led the explosive questions that dis
rupted the Minsk conference is likely
TO win for the the gratitude of war
exhausted world.
The Riga armistice would put the
Bolsheviki at peace with all their Bal
tic neighbors within IA hours from
midnight last night
NJ. Joffe called attention to the
many difficulties encountered in ar
ranging the armistice and also to the
harmonious manner in which the dele
cations carried out the program.

to forego for the time being the hatura'

your potent influence to the exclusion
of loans of questionable propriety, so
that banking institutions generally may
be able to maintain stropg position
TO meet Tie unusual legitimate demands
likely TO be made upon them.
while the treasury department is
coming to be less and less of predomi-

calls for assistance in the restoration
of Europe are insistent, and for hu-
manitarian reasons as well as for our
own economic welfare, bring the obliga-

may render effective help.
The problems ahead of us, although
different in character, are quite as i'm
portant as those of the past, and are
increasingly difficult to manage, as the
concentrated control of the war period
is gradually relaxed. Therefore, at the
threshold of the new year, we appeal
to you to contribute your full share of
forward vision, clear thinking and con
structive administration, to the end
chat wasteful spending, reckless spec.
ulation and unnecessary credit infla-
ton may be effectively discouraged

Governor Passmore's letter follows (:
The distribution ot dividends, in
comes and other accumulatious of
money which takes place at the first
OF the year, normally brings increased
reserves and easier money conditions.
Therefore, 1t seems an appropriate time
to bring to the attention of the Off =
GERS of banks the great opportunity
they now have to perform an impor-
tant public service; in fact, a real duty
lies upon them to take advantage of
such more plentiful supply of money to
bring about orderly liquidation of bank
loans in order that the reserve position

strengthened
Money rates are such as to tempt
continued expansion of loans of spec :
ulative character. and we, therefore.
appeal to your sense of patriotic duty
