Peace Offer

to-day. Premier Millerand this morn
ing received from the British Premier
q request for conference directly with
him on the subject. Premier Millerand
Immediately decided to depart to-mor-
row morning at o'clock for Boulogne,
where Premier Lloyd George will
arrive at noon.
The French Cabinet met at the For
egn Office this evening. The session
lasted three hours. Marshal Foch, who
has been on Il vacation in Brittany,
near Moralix, was sumomned last night
by telephone. He set out Immediately
wearing civilian garb. The Marshal
went at once to the Foreign Office,
where he participated in the meeting
of the ministers. He came out after
half an hour. Asked about the pur-
pose which brought him to Paris, he
said
General Toukhatchevsky, commander
Of the Bolshevk troops, in the mes
sage which he sent to the Polish Cen
eral Staff, fixed only the date for be-
ginning negotiations for an armistice.
This is July 80. There are still at
least four days during which we must
observe carefully the situation between
the two military parties not only the
military SlludtlOH, DuJ ulSo tHc moral
situation in Poland
Must Fix Certain Conditions
ain any response to be given the
Russians on the subject of the peace
conference at London we must fix GER
tain conditions in order that the pc
riod of tranquility during the days
preceding the armistice may not be
used by the Soviet against Poland or
against General Wrangel."
After the Cabinet conference the
French ministers guarded with the ut
most secrecy the results of their de-
liberations because Premier Millerand
wishes to give the results Of the CON
ference himself tomorrow to Lloyd
George. My information permits me
to say that M. Millerand will be en-
tirely faithful to the declaration which
he made in the Chamber of Deputies
three days ago. He said then:
The French government is entirely
disposed to enter into relations with
the Soviet government on condition
that this government conduct itself as
a veritable governments; that is to say,
ii the Soviet intends to act in soldar-
ity with former Russian governments" !"
This means that Milerand is dis
posed to recognize the Soviet only if
100000 francs, including commercial
and public debts, are countersigned by
the Soviet.
Millerand Bound by Parliament
1t is not believed that. M. Millerand
Moscow that General Wrangel must
surrender with his entire army. A
very serious discussion between the
two premiers is expected. Millerand
is bound by the parliamentary ma jor-
ity, which has clearly expressed it's
opinion.
M. Millerand intends to return to
Paris Wednesday, hoping the confer
ence tomorrow afternoon and evening
will suffice for agreement. His pres
ence is very necessary at Paris to calm
Parliament, which is excited over the
200,000000 francs advanced to Germany
monthly for coal shipments. 1t is this
figure which the Finance Minister has
French Parliament to-day.
Both domestic and foreign problems
facing M. Millerand are difficult, but
it is considered that his knottiest
problem is with the Soviets, for there
is little confidence here in we'll in
formed circles that the Moscow gov
ernmcnt intends sincerely to make OIL
keep any promises with regard to the
payments of debts which the Cars
government contracted with France.
May Require Poles to Disarm
VIENNA, July "a (By The Associated
Press) 1t is reported in apparently
reliable quarters here that the first
stipulation the Bolsheviki will require
of the Poles before entering into peace
negotiations will be that the Poles
disarm completely, so that the negotia-
tions might not be used to gain time
or to await the arrival Of French OF
British reinforcements.
A wireless message from the Sovie
command to General Pilsudski, Presi
dent Of Poland and head of the Polisl
army, intercepted here, asks the name
Of the sector where Soviet representa-
tives may meet the Poles to Arrange
armistice preliminares.
The Ukrainian government has re
moved from Kanenetz- Podolsk west
ward to Tarnow. Galicia, according t.
the Ukrainian Press Bureau to-day.
Some of the government Offices ar
going to Dembica and Rzeszow, nea
Tarnow, the bureau says.
