 Certainly not, for, according to my opinion, the Bolshevik have al ready seen their best days, and Bol- sheyism may definitely be said to be on the decline"
 Asked whether he believed in last ing peace in the North, the Premier said:
 q have reason to believe so. We have no cause here for military ad- ventures
