SOVIET AUTHORITIES
QUOTED ON PROMISES
BY SECRETARY COLBY

Washington. Aug 1S.-Mr Colby
also issued a reply to an assertion By
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin Of the
soviet government of Russia that the
bolsheviki have shown that they strict
~ adhere to obligations and that if
they promised to protect the United
States against. agitation of the Third
Internationale. all our representatives
will rigidly fulfill this pledge.
Il do not suppose" Mr.. Colby said.
that Mr.. Tchitcherin has superseded
Lenine as the authoritative spokesman
of soviet purpose. The actual words Of
Lenine are In sharp contrast with the
utterance Of his foreign minister
Said Lenine before the council of the
peoples commissaries during the nego-
tiations during the Prinkipo confer
ence:
al have never hesitated TO come
to terms with bourgeoise goverH-
ments when by so-dolng thought
could weaken the hourgeoise.
The time has now come for
US to conclude second Brest-
Litovsk, this time with the entente.
I'VE must make peace not only
with the entente, but also with
Poland. Lithuania and the Ukraine.
and all the other forces which are
opposing US In Russia.
I'VE must be prepared to make
every concession, payments and
sacrifice in order TO entice our
foes Into the conclusion of this
peace.
I'VE shall know that We have
but concluded a truce permitting lis
to complete our preparations for
a decisive onslaught which will as
sure our triumph"
On February ,. 1919, Zinoviev, the
intimate associate of Lenine and
Trotzky said:
I'VE are willing to sign an unfav
cradle peace with the allies. IT
would only mean that We should
put no trust whatever in the bit OF
paDer We should sign. We should
use the breathing space so obtained
in order to gather our strength in
order that the mere continued es-
Istence of our government would
keep up the Worldwide propa-
ganda.

cLerin's statement would seem to ne

The four proposed amendn. uts we're
announced as follows
1.-Providing for fixed annual meet
ing of the assembly. and proposing that
10 members Of the league can demand
and secure a special meeting at any
time at the seat of the league.
2-Seeking to regularize the method
of selecting the four nom permanent
members of the council. 1t is proposed
TO accomplish this by providing that the
assembly, after making the first .selec-
tions Of four to serve respectively three,
four. five and six years, shall name a
new state yearly after the third year
to serve four years and not be subject
to reelection for the following period
Il is suggested that this method would
secure successive representation on the
council of q large number of states and
would maintain continuity in the compo-
sition of the council.
3.-Making the obligation for arbitra
ton more absolute by emitting the word
generally from Article 13 in para
graph beginning disputed. and ending
submission TO arbitration.
4.-Permitting the council to author
ize state in the vicinity Of a state
against which an economic blocade is in
force, to maintain degree Of inter
course with the latter. provided the
council considers this necessary in order
to prevent the blockaded state from at
tacking its neighbor.

more than half, had sets of defective
teeth.
Miss Markley states hat all of the

as are the defects in practically
all children of school age. She

while there is yet time. Now that
she has finished her work in this town
she will go on to another place to
make similar examinations.
