distinct sympathy by the American gov
ernment.
One of its immediate aims, it is
learned, will be to bring about the end
of the negotiations between England
and the Soviet government for the con-
clusion of a trade agreement. The
Presidents note to NJ. Hymans, which
lively and Individually, is believed to
have been written with the. intention
of bringing about the success of the
program of the new Russian Center.
Follows Brands Declaration
/ In addition to this purpose, however,
experts in Russian affairs declare, the
Presidents note was addressed indi-
rectly both to the Bolshevik govern
ment and, above all, to the Russian peo-
pie. In this the note follows closely
the declaration made by Premier Bri-
and upon his assumption of the Pre-
miership in the Chamber of Deputies.
IN which he announced that France had
abandoned the policy of military in
terventio2 in Russia. Brands, state
ment, it is declared, was the result of
conversations between the French Pre-
mler, MIIiukof, Kerensky and Avksen-
tieff.
This trio of Russian statesmen who
have played in the past and are be-
ileved to be slated in the future for
important roles in the work of the
restoration of their country have i'm
pressed upon the French Premier the
TACT that the effort to overthrow Boil
shevlsm by military action from with
out or by movements like those of
Kolchak. Denikine and Wrangel from
within must sbe abandoned, as it has
played directly into the hands of the
bolsheviki. Even man of the rela-
lively conservative views of Miliukoff,
it is learned, now asserts openly that
Wrangel werc the result not so much
of military failure as of lack of politi-
cal perspicacity.
1t is the realization of this fact, Rus
Sian experts assert, which. has made
possible the hitherto impossible CO.
operation of the factions represented
by Miliukoff, Kerensky' and Victor
Tchernoff, president of the Constitu-
ent Assembly dissolved by the Boil
sheyiki. Miliukoff and the Constitu-
tional Democrats have gone far enough
to the left to enable .Kerensky and the
list-Revolutionists to 90 far
enough to the right to bring about
unity of forces and purpose. What has
nov been created in Paris is virtually
a new Russian coalition, which, unlike
the coalitions that marked the various
ministries of the Russian provisional
government, bids fair to stay coalesced.
Appeal to Russians Forecast
Representing as this coalition does
the great majority of the Russian peo
ple-the peasantry through the Social
Revolutionists,. and, the progressive
bourgeoisie through the Miliukof
wing Of the Constitutional Democrats
the committee of nine chosen by the
new Russian Center, it is learned from
authoritative sources, will have the ear
of the Entente governments and will,
in a short time, address itself to the
Russian people, calling upon them to
reassert their rights against the Boil
shevik tyranny. The message to be
addressed by the new Russian coali-
tion to the Russian people will be, in
substance, as follows:
The forces speaking in behalf of
Russia and against Bolshevism,
which has brought you nothing but
slavery and starvation, have at last
achieved a unity Of aim and pur-
pose They have raised their voice
in behalf Of Russia and have gained
the ear Of the Entente governments.
They are able to bring you what tho
Soviet government has failed and is
unable to achieve: peace and the as
sistance and materials necessary for
the restoration Of Russia's economic
life. The anti Bolsheyik forces speak
ing in behalf Of Russia are we'll
known to you as consisting Of men
who have fought strenuously against
the Czar's government and for free
Russia. They arc ready 70 do their
part in ridding Russia Of Bolshcvism
II you will but lend them your assist
ancc.
Wilson's Note In Harmony
The Presidents note to M. Hymans
is regarded az right in line with the
aim Of tho new Russian coalition. In
substance IL says to tho Russian peo-
pie and invites the Allies to do like
wsc:
Tho contention Of the Bolshcvk
government that the governments Of
western Europe and America are
seeking the dismcmbermcnt OF Russia
and the imposition of government
from outside upon Russia Is false.
The Allied and associated powers
| are interested solely in the restora-
ton OF united, democratic Russia,
by the will and action Of the Rus
sian people themselves. There Is no
excuse for TIE Bolehevik govern
ment to maintain ~ huge conscript
force exeept for the purpose Of
