PARIS, Aug. 3.-The problem Of
inter-Allied aid to famine stricken
Russia, in cooperation with the
United States, which viii be dis
cussed at the forthcoming session of
the Supreme Council on Augu-- Q,
assumed a more important aspect
to-day, when it was learned that the
premiers will enter upon their dis
cussion with an entirely new view Of
Russia's future.
This involves the death of the Boil
shevik government and the estab-
lishment of a more stable regime
with which open international rela-
tions may be again resumed.
With this in mind, it is believed here
tonight that the Supreme Council
meeting viii result in a decision to ex-
tend liberal Allied aid, although there
will be some guarded fencing to protect
the interests of all the nations in
volved.
Harvey May Speak for L. s
1t is highly possible that Colonel
George Harvey, United States Ambas-
sado' to the Court of St. James's, will
act as something more than an OBJ
server when the Russian question
comes up for discussion, and may, on
instructions from Washington, present
the attitude Of the Harding Admins
tration verbally to the Allied premiers
The Tribune correspondent learns
from sources in close touch with Mos
cow that Premier Lenine, through the
intervention Of Winston Churchill
British Colonial Secretary, has agreed
to allow the return to Moscow Of Sa-
vinkov, the most powerful anti-Red
leader. He will participate there in
the formation of a more moderate
government in exchange for his agree
ment to call off counter revolutionary
plans.
Savinkov, whose headquarters has
been at Prague, but who has been oper-
ating in the region OF Minsk, is known
to have been seeking an arrangement
with General Pilsudski, of the Polish
army, for a united anti-Bo Bolshevik mill
tary offensive against Russia.
Savinkov to Direct Task
Both Food Dictator Trotzky and
Dierzynski, who is responsible for the
expedition OF food shipments, have be
come exceedingly unpopular in Russia
as d result of the present catastrophe.
Their elimination is regarded as I'M
minent. and along with them viii go
lot of lesser hangers-on Savinkov Will
then return to Moscow and participate
in new coalition regime, which viii
take the form of Socialist-Socal
Revolutionary group IN which no So
vietism win be tolerated.
The question OF succoring Russia
from the humanitarian standpoint, is
admitted in advance OF the Supreme
Council meeting as merely camouhage
while the real soIcitude reVolves
around the renewed political status Of
the former empire. The result prob
ably will be the death of the Soviet.
The Russia of the future Will become
either a group Of powerful soviets or
a great nation, whose trade gradually
viii become as valuable as in the days
of czardom.
Churchill's action is valuable to Eng
land from the point of view of trade,
and also safeguards Great Britain by
as friendship with the new regime is
concerned
Frances immediate object will be the
recovery of q billion francs in old
debts, which the coalition undoubtedly
will recognize. Other nations have
similar objects.
1t is understood Premier BRAND viii
be ready to conform to the attitude of
the United States on the Russian ques-
tion. 1t is assured, however, that the
Supreme Council viii authorize the
most liberal aid to Russia, for the
obvious reasons stated before
Premier BRAND has cabed the French
Embassy in Washington to notify Sec
rotary Hoover that the Paris govern
ment is willing to join in any action
taken by the United States in aiding
Russia, even before the meeting OF the
Supreme Council.
