whether Japan intended to engage In
a truce in the Far East or to continue
the state of war in Siberia. Viscount
Ishif's swift reply was that regardless
of past differences among the Rus
slams which had necessitated the
presence of japanese troops in ST.
IBERIA to protect the property of their
nationals, Japan was now ready to
conclude a no~n-aggression pact in the
Far East If the Chita republic also
complied with the truce.
Tchitcherin then squabbled with the
Poles, Rumanians and others over
alleged plans of anti-Bolshevik lead
ers to organize expeditions against
Russia, but a again squelched.
When he asked that what is left of
General Wrangel's army be removed
farther from Russia. Mr.. Lloyd George
retorted: "Who wants them? We
don't" The British premier severely
scored Tchitcherin's defense of Russia
as an innocent, patient, and tolerant
model of all the Christian virtues"
and in concluding said. Speaking
after 16 years as a minister, longer
than anyone else here, L believe the
best we car do is to mind our own
business. Organizing an expedition
under General Wrangel to convert the
heather in Russia or under NM.
Tchitcherin and Litvinoff to convert
the heather in our country will only
bring trouble"
The Russian delegates have been
trying hard to Save their faces and
1t is predicted they will not be en-
Enthusiastically received by the more ex-
IRENE communists at home. They
have the treaty with Germany to their
credit, but they have failed to obtain
recognition for their government, and,
what hurts more. they haven't the
