Mr. Lloyd George on Wednesday spoke about Russia to much

the same effect as Lord Curzon. If there was not peace in Russia, he said, there could not be peace in the world, but he could not suggest any moans of pacifying Russia. Tho Allies would not undertake a war against the Bolsheviks, but would not recognize them. They were giving arms, money, and " moral support " to the anti-Bolshevik Governments, in order to keep the Germans out of Russia. It would be brutal to stand aside and "let the fire burn itself out." The Allies had summoned the Prinkipo Conference as an experiment, of the success of which the Prime Minister seemed doubtful.
