In the House of Commons on Wednesday Mr. Boner Law

read the message which the British Government have sent to the- Russian Soviet Government proposing an armistice between Poland and Russia. The suggested terms are that the Polish army should at once withdraw to the, eastern boundary of Poland as delimited by the Peace Conference ; that the Russian armies should halt fifty kilometres east of this line; that repre- sentatives of Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Finland should come to London to negotiate a final peace ; that an armistice should also be signed between Soviet Russia and General Wrangel, the latter agreeing to retire within the Crimea ; and that General Wrangel also be invited to London ; but not as a member of the Conference. It is added that if Russia intends to invade Poland the Allies will feel bound under the Peace Treaty to help Poland " with all the means at their disposal."
