RUSSIA OPPOSES
PAR|S-BERL|NP PACT
Moscow Asks France to
Keep AIoof, Pending New
Alignment.

Copyright. 1894. by the Associated Press
GENEVA, December 6.-Alarmed
at the prospects of a close under
standing between France and Ger
many, Soviet Russia has asked France
not to conclude any special political
accord with another nation pending
the fate of the projected pact of
Eastern European securities.
Russia was described by League of
Nations sources today as fearing iso-
lauon for herself would result from
any Franco-German political accord.
1t is understood France has agreed
not to make any special bilateral
political treaties without consulting
Russia beforehand.
France, it was said, will continue
her efforts to get both Germany and
Russia into the proposed Eastern Eu-
ropean securities convention-often
called the Eastern Locarno pact"
Such pact, in the opinion of French
statesmen. would insure peace on
Germany's eastern frontier.
Russia has come to the position of
giving prime importance to the east
ern pact. With peace assured on her
western boundary, she would be left
freer to cope with the japanese prob
lem.
The agreement between France and
Russia was said to have been reached
directly between Pierre Laval, French
foreign minister and Maxim Litvin-
off, Russian foreign commissar.

The British move recalled to the
Germans the declaration to the Brit

There should be campaign to COM
bat the propaganda that is being in
sidiously circulated, to contradict the
lies that are being told about our
gullibility in 1917, to counteract the
growing and almost unchallenged
fable that few wicked international
bankers cleverly played ON our emo
tionalism, and by working us into a
state of hysteria lured us into a war
that was none of ours.
We should do that so that those
who have forgotten or are too young
to remember what preceded our en-
trance into the war will be awakened
to the necessity to begin at once to
reverse our policy of participation
In world cooperative efforts to pre-
vent another war. We should do that
so that we will be awakened out of
our fancied security. We should do
that SO that q people aware that
it will not be for US to decide next
time, as it was not for us to decide
last time, whether to stay out or go
in, will insist that the Government
do all possible to prevent the war in
stead Of drifting lazily and blindly
along and prating about staying out
Of confagration that has engulfed
