afraid to demobilize because they fear
| new attacks.
Solemn Declarations Sought.
MIR. Wilson expresses the opinion
that the present moment offers a
peculiarly pressing challenge" to IN
attempt at general pacification on the
Huss an borders along the lines of q
clear distinction between offense and
defense.
Such an attempt" the note con-
tinues, seems to the President to be
the logical ,utgrowth-in fact the
only log cal ievelopment-of the re-
! onest to mediate in the Armenian con-
flict. 1t is obvious to all that the
small struggling border states will not
attack great Russia unless encouraged
by promise Of support from the strong
er powers
The President then suggests pub
lie and solemn" declaration among tho
powers to refrain from extending such
aid declaring that IN this way respon-
sbility for any new war which might
break out on the Russian border
would then be clearly placed"

New York, Jan, 22-An elected

Saturday by Frank A. Vanderlip as
basis for constitutional re-adjustment

discussion" A change in the consti-
tuition would provide the suggested new
arm Of the government of about thirty

Speeches.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Makiny pub
lie Saturday reports Of the proceed
lngs Of the Communist internationalc
at Moscow last summer as printed in
Russia soviet newspapers, the state
department prefaced it with state
ment that IAN obvious fear Of demo-
cracy' was noted in the speeches de-
ivered at the congress.
''Enlightened liberalism is the one
obstacle which these communists see
to the success Of their project" said
the departments statement. "They
are more vindictive IN their references
to progressive democracy than they are
in their denunciation Of 'tsarism.' They
arc not afraid Of the reaction. They
recognize very clearly that their real
enemy, against which they must mar
shall their most formidable attack is
the spirit of democracy to which this
nation is dedicated"
Attention was called to what the
department laid was ''the close rela-
tionship between the bolsheviki party,
the Russian soviets and the commun-
ist internationale."
