ues: ut is not the custom of the Rus
sian government to mix practical bus
ness transactions with theoretical pol
ltics and discussions of principles.
| The British government, however, has
la"ncned against the soviet regime the
strange accusation of being an oil
garchy"
The note then enters into disquisi-
ton to the effect that all states whose
form of government differs from the
soviet are obviously true oigarchies
because they are states in which the
immense majority toll for privileged
Few, while in Soviet Russia the whole

benefit.
Workers Councils Defended
NJ. Tchitcherin contends that the svs-
tenn of local workers. councils, in whose
lands rests control of the whole So
yet fabric, gives the masses much
more power than the parlame ntary
system, and concludes that, being a
truly popular movement, the soviet is
by mature peaceful and averse to con-
quests, contrary to- the governments
OF ollgarchies, which desire peace only
after having despoiled their vanquished
adversaries Of their riches
The peace Of a workers. and peas
ants government, he says, "being
on the rejection of the exploiting of
others and upon the true solidarity of
the great working masses Of all nations,
is the only genuine and really perma-
nent peace. Animated by this spirit
the Soviet government does not insist
upon its interpretation of the peace
terms with Poland, which has given
rise to the present divergence with
Great Britain and Italy.
ut 1enounces it's demand for the
creation of workers militia in Poland
and thus restores the full agreement
with these two governments which ex-
listed before this divergence arose"

Press There was no meeting of the
Soviet-Polish conference to-day This
was due, the Poles said, to the fact

The Soviet delegates sent protest
to the Polish delegation charging the

This delay, which they asserted was
nquestionably a real delay, was sig
