The French Premier on Friday week assured President Wilson that
the French Government were in entire accord with his Note to Italy, declining absolutely to have any dealings with the Bolshevik despots whose rule was " founded on the negation of all principles of honour and good faith." France, like America, wished to uphold the political independence and territorial integrity of Poland, and would only approve of the armistice offered to the Poles if it recognized their independence. France, had, after fun examination, recognized a de Pao Russian Govern- meot--that of General Wrangel—which was prepared to accept President Wilson's principles. We do not know whether President
Wilson can reconcile M. Millerand's recognition of General Wrangel with his own determination not to interfere in Russian politics outside Finland and Ethnic Poland.
