Two I.cndcrn Work ToRctltrr The fnct that Lloyd Gcortje is to attach his name to the plan for the Leapuc of Nations, as Wilson at tached his name to the plan for thr Russian solution, is of tremendous importance. It shows that the two 'men arc working together in the j ilosest co-operation, even to the point of agreeing that each shall 1 have precisely that measure of credit 1 which is vitally important" for each to have. It makes little difference to Mr. Wilson who writes the League of Na tions plan. His own name is for ever associated with it as progeni tor. Accordingly, Lloya Geoige va' petmitted to go before the elector ate of Great Britain as the author of the League of Nations, a thing politically important to Lloyd George. On the other hand, the real force behind the Russian solution was largely British, but it was impor tant that President Wilson should attach his name to the plan 'or get ting Allied anl American troop? out of Russia in order to bqtiare him self with liberal opinion tho world over, which never quite forgac his .ielding on Russian intervention. Thi.s co-opuration and mutual un dci standing between Lloyd George and Jlr. Wilson insures their domi nance at the Peace Confcience, for po combination is possible that could resist them. I do not mean to imply that any light exists in the conference. It is perfectly evident there is a dispo sition everywhere to compromise. When the tesult is finally written Clnmenceau. doubtless, will be per mitted to point out something to the 1'iench people as his achievement for them. Doubtless the same privilege also will be give-.- to Orlando. The five "owcrs which sit together at the.M' conferences of the heads ol nrtionr have too much at stake to peimit disunion now. Tney must sit together as the inner ciicle of the League of Natior.s for long years to come, until some new power rises to distutb the balance. They must bo friends, must com promise, must be happy. The solution of the Russian ques tion was welcomed by radicals, but resented by the conservative.-'. The Socialist I'llumanitc expresses de light, for at least until the League of Nations is created and Russia gets a chance to work out its own salvation with the economic aid of other Powers, no war on Bolshevism can be made. Conservative Dissatisfied For a similar reason the Echo de Paris, conservative, expresses dis satisfaction in the following shaip words: "Theorizing, ignorance and playing politics, such aie the bad guests of the Quai d'Oray."

The subject for consideration Is not liussia, -no.- Poland, as was supposed, hut the status of the present military occupation of flermany, oh which the council desires Information from the military lenders. Tn some Allied quar ters it hurl been' suggested that the American strength In the occupied re gions should be relatively la'ser' than that of the other forces, as the Kuropcarr allies have gone through longer service. This view Is not shared In American quarters, where It Is maintained that the relative American strength Is fully uji lu the requirements. The presence of tire military leaders today la expected to bring a fairly full understanding on this subject. NEWSPAPERS COMMENT ON RUSSIAN POLICY I'Brlu, Jan. 24, The decision of the Supreme Council of the Pence Congreaa on the Itusslan eiucatlon meetie with mixed comment by the Paris newspapers. The Matin, which carries the news under the caption "Dramatic Stroke at Teace Conference," says: "It In a great and bold Idea. W shall see If it' Is practical and fruit ful." On the other hand, the Journal sayai "There Is no hiding the fact that tha solution adopted has caused a painful impression upon the French. M, Plchon, Foreign Minister, expressed public senti ment when ne said In his speech of December 2D and his letter of January S, 'No compromise with the Bolshe vist s.'" The Echo de Paris says: "insensate as may be the settlement now proposed, It has at least the merit of ridding us of the still more harm ful solution of bringing the Bolshevists to Paris and giving them the oppor tunity of repeating on Allied territory the Brest-Mtovsk propaganda." The Figaro says: "No solution of the Russian problem has jet been found, but a broad and (jffi3fr fair-minded Inquiry la opened by th associated Powers under their auspices. It la to ba hoped the Bolshevist areata will not take advantage of this tem porary respite to continue their propa ganda In Europe and hamper the work of peaca In the name of their own principles."
