Copyright, 1880, oy THE NEW YoRK HrzALp.
PARIS, Oct. 12.-Prominent men here,
expressed their views ON the Russian sit
uation to-day.
Raymond Poincars, formerly Presi-
dent of France, said THE matter Is
extremely delicate. especially for man
in my position. Naturally. the whole
Russian situation 1s vitality interesting
to all Frenchmen Information at the
present moment IS so scanty. I cannot
arrive at a definite conclusion. I have
feeling. however. that the Soviet
regime is due to end. 1t has been the
cause Of starvation. and for no reason.
Whether wrangei Will be the agent In
accomplishing the overthrow of the Reds,
do not know. Present Indications are
that he Ia the best man for this. but he
must avoid the errors OF Denikine. who
irritated the peasants by mis- ultra RE-
dictionary policy.
Il hope that next Spring will see an
entire realignment of European affairs,
Russia included"
Able Blondel, pastor of the French
Church In Petrograd. who with 500
French refugees has just returned here
after four years captivity In Bolshevist
Russia. said: Soviet Russia Is tottering.
This winter must see the overturning Of
the Red regime. This Is not because
the Russian people are dissatisfied with
the Boishevist system. for the Russian
people DO not know the difference be-
tween one system and another. They
are profoundly ignorant and no more
than per cent. OF them can read and
write. Their dissatisfaction with Boil
shevism Is founded simply on empty
stomachs and the absence Of remunera-
tive labor"
Alexander Kcrensky, formerly Pre-
inier Of Russia, said: THE overthrow
OF the Red regime in Russia, which is
coming before six months have passed,
will see a conservative reaction there
similar to the Napoleonic regime after
the French revolution. A social-demo-
cratic regime. such as attempted to in
stitute on moderate lines. will not be
possible for the Russian people are
heartily sick OF anything connected with
the name Of socialism. am convinced
personally that there is no chance OF the
old imperial regime coming back into
power. but believe some representative
Romanofr might come into power II he
were not associated with the old bureau
cratic clique"
Ignace Jan Paderewski, formerly Pre-
rier Of Poland said AT present / am
so busy with the Polish Russian and the
polish-Lithuanian peace situations am
not In touch with the interior situation
In Russia. At the same time am ex-
10 ho I'D

Take Joneseo, the Rumanian states
man, said: II do not share in the
optimism over Russia Conditions are
worse and the Soviet Industrial economic
system has proved failure, but it

"And that IS the only crime there Is

He said he was not of the group which
