WOULD RECONCILE GROUPS
(Associated Pressl

Helsingfors, May 11.-Recent
speeches of Bolshevist leaders In
Russia and the utterances OF the
Bolshevist press have indicated a
double purpose-to appease both
peasants and city workers, whose
interests are very different.
This two sided attitude Is main
tanned, 1t is said, to conciliate the
peasants, who form the vast major
ty in Russia, even at the cost OF sa-
crificing some Communist principles,
and at the same time Of persuading
the town workers that the adoption
of conservative land policy like the
granting OF concessions to foreign
ers. is a clever bit Of tactics.
