RUSS-POLE PEACE TALK
"DRAGGING" ON AT RIGA
Negotiations "Hopelessly Tangled"
With French, British and Ger
man Commercial Interests.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press,
LTBAU February 21.-The Russo
Polish peace negotiations are still
dragging along at Riga. but they seem
to be hopelessly tangled up with
French, British and German political
and commercial plans. There are in
dications that the treaty may finally
be signed before the plebiscite is held
in Upper Silesia,l as the Poles are
anxious to dispose of the matter be-
fore the plebiscite occurs. The ple-
biscite is set for March 13, but it
seems likely that it will not be held
at so early a date.
The Germans are anxious to prevent
the signing of the Russo Polish treaty
prior to the plebiscite, considering
that failure by the Poles to complete
treaty with soviet Russia would
strengthen the German contention
that Poland is weak and that a boil
shevik invasion of-Germany is immi-
nent. The bolsheyik delegates are
playing upon the rival interests of
the entente powers. the Germans and
the Poles, and prolonging the nego-
tiations, which probably could be ter
minated speedily. if there were no out
side influences.
