Esthonia signed a " permanent Armistice Treaty " With the

Bolsheviks at Dorpat on Monday. The Bolsheviks agreed to recognize the independence of Esthonia, and to pay the little State fifteen million gold roubles as her share of the Russian State treasure. Esthonia undertook to allow Russian imports or exports to pass free of duty through Reval. The Treaty is bound to influence the policy of the other Baltic States. Hitherto they have been united in hostility to the Bolsheviks. Now that Esthonia has made peace, the others will be strongly inclined to do the same. It remains to be seen, however, whether the Bolsheviks can keep a Treaty. Their past conduct and their horrible programme do not inspire much confidence in their promises to Esthonia.
