HELSINGFORS. March 27 (By The
Associated Press. - The Moscow and
Petrograd Bolshevik newspapers Of
March % and %, which were received
here to-day, paint in official announce
ments vivid picture of what appears
to be sweeping attempt to conciliate
the opponents of the soviets without
the latter surrendering political con-
troll. part of the apparent effort
comprises an appeal by the Soviet gov
ernment to Russian refugees abroad, in
the course of which this passage oc-
ours:
Russia in her reconstruction work
must rely not only upon her working
men, but also upon her peasants and
her intellectuals. Therefore her new
international relations oblige Russia to
alter her former stand regarding cmi-
grants. The question of the moment
is to utilize the forces Of these Rus
sian refugees abroad, as their aid is
most important in the work Of recon-
struction.'
An editorial in the Pravda, of Mos
COW, bemoans the failure of the govern
ment to care properly for the intel
lectuals at home, and it promises that
they will have better treatment and
that good resolutions have been taken
as to tleir future.
Coalition Program Denied
1t is, however, officially denied that
Premier Lenine had conferred with the
leaders of the Mensheviki and Social
Democrats Nth a view to the forma-
tion of coalition government, as had
been reported.
The Bolshevik newspapers differ as
to the reports Of counter revolu
tionary movement in Petrograd, while
not word had been published by the
Soviet press up to March "a regarding
the offer to trade with the United
States. The trade agreement with
Great Britain was not overenthusi-
astically commented upon. The Krasnya
Gazeta, for instance, quotes Leonid
Krassin as saying the British agree
ment was unsatisfactory, although it
was a gain for Bolshevism.
The Bolshevik Minister to Finland
has announced here the ratification of
the Soviet treaties with Turkey and
Persia and the Bokhara government,
these completing the peacemaking pro-
cess and making Soviet Russia officially
at reace with every border state.
II is announced that Turkish dele
CATION, including Yussef Kemal, has ar
rived in Petrograd.
Firms Issue Ultimatnm
The Finnish government, says the
Helsingin Sanomat, of Helsinki, has in
formed the Soviet ministry that trade
relations between Finland and Russia
can begin only when the first trainload
of repatriated Firms passes across the
frontier from Russia.
Twenty sailors from the battleship
S"bastopol, including subCaptain De-
nj lin, were executed Immediately after
they had been sentenced by revolu-
tionary tribunal in Petrograd on March
20, according to the Krasnya Gazeta.
They were tried on the charge of hav-
ing been ringleaders of the battleship
revolt during the Cronstadt episode,
and because their bombardment from
the warship had caused thousands of
casualties, it was declared.
No mention is made by the news
paper Of the fate of the other fourteen
hundred prisoners in Peterhof.
