Council Decides to Aid
States Only if Attacked
By Red Forces.
MAY RECOGNIZE RUSSIA
Official Commission to
Study Condition Under
Supervision Of League.

London. Feb. A-First definite steps
toward settlement Of the Russian
question. universally regarded as the
biggest Of International problems.
were taken by the entente today.
Entente premiers meeting here de-
cided:
To send an official commission into
Russia to study conditions under sup
ervisIon Of the league Of nations.
. To encourage commerce between the
Soviet government and the rest Of
Europe.
To discourage warfare between the
Bolsheviki and the border states, but
TO aid the latter IL attacked by the
Red armies.
To withhold diplomatic recognition
OF the Soviets until convinced that
the Bolshevik horrors have ended.
May Join League.
In semi-official circles the action Of
the council was generally regarded as
forecasting complete recognition OF
Russia in the future. economically
and politically, with consequent re-
moyal of her alleged menace to the
rest of Europe and restoration OF her
status among nations. This, II was
believed, would be accompanied by an
invitation to join the league OF ma
tons.
Although the new policy toward Rus
sia reaffirms the entente's refusal to
recognize the Soviet government, II Is
accepted as a decided weakening from
the previous stand. and decision to
send a commission into Russia Is re-
Sarded as practically a warning to the
border countries to cease warfaye with
the Bolsheviki.
Official announcement was made that
the premiers would not encourage the
border States to continue their war
against the Soviets, but that In the
event the Red armies attacked them
the entente would aid them in every
way.
Commerce VIII he Aided.
1t was also announced that without
relaxing their decision not to deal with
the Soviets automatically, the entente
will encourage commerce between Eu-
rope and Russia which is essential to
Improvement Of the economic situation
throughout the world"
The council decided that In the
event the board states already rec
ognized by the allies approach the
latter seeking advice regarding their
attitude toward the Soviets, the at
lies will reply that they cannot ac-
cept the responsibility OF advising
that war be continued against Rus
sia, and still less would advise ag-
gression against Russia
In official circles 1t was presumed
the duty of the commission will be
TO determine IL -the horrors have
ended, and to gather information
relative to the resumption of trade
between the allies and the Russian
cooperative societies now said by
Premier I.enine to be under Soviet
control. The decision to resume
trade was reached by the old su-
preme council in Paris several weeks
ago.
