PARIS THINKS CONFERENCE

mand for an aTmistlce with Poland as
ureteXt for a return 10 he original Soviet
campagn for official recognition # the
NJ seow Government. and political cir
cles in Paris regard the maueuvre as a
skillful one which has placed some If the
Allies, particularly France, in a delicate
situation.
France has not ceased to consider
the Soviet Government rs an irregu-
lar one. not supported by the free viii Of
the people. and consequently it has re-
sisted all action with reference to Russia
that might even remotely be considered
as recognition.
1t is pointed out that Premier LLOYD
George spoke for all the Allies, how
ever, when he communicated with the
Soviet authorities demanding that they
stop the forward movement on the Polish
frontier and asking them 20 arrange m
armistice, to be followed BY n conference
of delegates from all the countries border
ing on Russia.
Thus It Is admitted now, for the first
time in political circles here. that France
may be forced into position where she
viii be brought 70 recognize the Soviets
but it is declared she will do so only after
due guarantees are given that the Russian
foreign debt viii be paid.
