Washington, Aug IA plebisciteI
to determine the future of that part of
Poland that formerly was in the Rus
sian Empire is one of the peace terms
drawn up by the Bolsheviki, coincident
with the first proposal of armistice by
the Polish government. Right of unre-
stricted propaganda in this territory
during the year which would intervene
before the plebiscite also would be de-
manded.
These and other terms which it is
believed have been formulated for the
first meeting were received here today
in official circles. and it is believed
those for the second conference will be
even more severe.
Those to be offered at the Mdnsk
conference are expected to be more
severe because of Bolshevik military
successes since terms were prepared
for the Baranovitch conference which
the Poles left saying they did not have
authority to make peace. Other terms.
received here include the right OF the
soviet government to. unrestricted
transmission of all code messages
across Poland between Russia and Ger |
many: turning over salt and coal mines |
in Poland for operation by the soviet |
government and right of unrestricted |
