It was indicated in a high official
quarter yesterday that the WASH

certain general principles, founded
on the idea advanced by Sec
retary of state Hughes of moral
trusteeship" which should animate
the nations in respect to Russia,
during the period of Russia's inca
pacity
The Siberian situation. it is in
ferred. is held by Great Britain and
the other powers not to. require
such special treatment as Chinese
questions have received. 1t has
also been made known that should
the conference undertake to pre-
scribe conditions for Siberia,

offensive to the Russian nation.
Russians. excepting the Moscow
government. do not object to a dis
cussion in Washington of the 81
berfan situation. and they readily
indorse the principle OF moral trus-
teeship enunciated by Mr.. Hughes.
They wish the conference to adopt
some measure in regard to the Chi
nese Eastern Railway. a Russian
property, which would assure the
eventual restoration OF this artery,
declared to be vital TO Siberia. to
Russia, as this railway Is not ac-
tually in Russian territory.
The hope OF the Russians. as II
has been expressed here, is that the
powers in conference may set up
some form OF temporary receivership
for the Chinese Eastern Railway.
which will assure its continued op-
Grafton under efficient and economic
management, the receivership TO

self is able to resume control Of the
railroad

allocated yesterday to active ship
ping board operators to carry re-
lief supplies to Russia. President

Paris Press Calls Capnes
Resolution Mock of Victory

PARIS, Jan. THE Cannes reso-
lution means that Hugo SHINES and
DR.. Walter Rathenau have COM
menced to avenge the defeat OF Lu-
dendorff." says Jacques Bainville,
editor of La Liberte. In a scathing
editorial printed today in that
newspaper.
III Lloyd George and his coll
leagues had but waited until now
they would have discovered that
war meant the ruin of Europe.
When Lord Landsdowne sailed in
1917. he was called a traitor. Far
better would 1t have been had they
listened to him in 1917 than to have
waited until now" NJ. Bainville con-
tinues.
I'VE adopt today the very peace
we refused In. 1917 when certain
men proposed to let Germany have
control of the Russian border TO
bring peace In Europe.
-It would have saved time II we
had recognized Germany as the vic
tor in the East at the time Of the
signing of the treaty of Brest-
Litovsk instead Of continuing the
war two years longer only to have
eventually arrived at the same
thing.

President Calls in Lead

As head Of the Republican party.
President Harding assembled his
most influential advisers In the Cab
met and Congress around the White
House dinner table last night to dis
cuss ways and means Of insuunns
victory at the polls next November.
Several months of treacherous
sailing are ahead Of Congress, and
President Harding's purpose in cali
ing in the leaders of both Houses
Is to point out some dangerous rocks
that must be avoided.
There is also a positive legislative
program which the President feels is
essential to party success in the next
campaign, and he outlined his views
on this point at last nights dinner
Those present included the House and
Senate steering committees.
Bosus ProbIem DimcuIt.
The soldier bonus and the foreign
debt refunding bills are the two
measures giving the President most
concern, 1t was said. He realizes
that every Congressman wants a boz
nus bill passed before the Congress
sional campaign opens. President
Harding is anxious to meet this de-
sire. but he is reluctant to agree to
enactment of a bonus measure SIM
ply as a sop. without providing some
practical method of raising the money
to pay II with.
PROMPT enactment OF the foreign
debt refunding bill is desired by
the President so that Secretary Of
the Treasury Mellon can negotiate
some definite agreement as to re-
payment of the 1000, 900, 900 owed
the United States by the allies. II
President Harding can thus obtain
a definite promise of repayment
from the allies, he will tremendous
ly increase the prestige OF his ad-
ministration among the voters who
have believed that the loans to the
allies were uncollectible.
The activities Of the farm bloc,
upon which Harding has frowned.
may be discussed.
