WILSON WRITES TO
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Urges Powers Not to Violate
the Territorial integrity of
Russia

Washington, D. CA public and
solemn" engagement among the great
powers not to violate or to permit the
violation of the territorial integrity of
Russia, is regarded by President Will
son as the sine qua non of an attempt
at the pacification OF Armenia and the
other states bordering on the once
great empire.
The Presidents views are set forth
in note transmitted to Paul Hymans.
president OF the league OF nations as
semby. by Acting Secretary Davis,
and made public at the state depart
ment.
The "distressful situation" OF Arme-
mia, which has been invaded by both
the Turkish Nationalists and the Sow
lets is only one detail of the vast
Russian problem. the President says,
and he most earnestly urges" his
conviction that it is only by compre-
hensive treatment of the whole prob
lem only by full and generous CO.
operation of the principal powers
that hopeful approach to the pacif-
cation and independence of Armenia
can be found
The President says he has never be
lieved that the problems raised by the
BOlshevik coup detat could be solved
by military actions from the outside,
and he expresses the hope that the
recent tragical events on the Polish
front and in the Crimea have con
vinced all the world that armed inva-
sion is not the way to bring peace to
the people of Russia"
Mr Wilson adds that these events
have only strengthened his conviction
that the Russian revolution. "benef-
cent in it's main purposes" must be
developed TO O. satisfactory conclusion
by the Russ ans themselves. with such
help from the outside as may be vol
unfairly received"
He expresses the opinion that the
present moment" offers a peculiarly
pressing challenge" to an attempt at
general pacifcation of the Russian
borders along the line OF "a clear dis
tinction between offense and defense.
