WAR ON BOLSHEVISM. SIR GEORGE BUCHANAN S VIEWS.

"Speaking at 11 oner of the British Russia Club on April 16th Sir George Buchanan, formerly British Ambassador as Petrograd,,said the members ut the Club were for the most part business men who had a practical knowledge of all the conditions of Russia's economic indus- trial, and dnancial life; and they had already been able to do much usezut work by placing that knowledge at the disposal of his Majesty Government. He coa gratulated them on having recog nised the feb that the time had

He wished that he could speak with the same confidence of the international outlook as he felt ris- pecting the future of their einb. What Elled him with anxiety about the future was the fact that the Allied Government had not, so far as one could.judge from the Press shown any disposition to grupple seriously with the Russian prob- fom. The valy onerete proposal that had as yet been put forward was that for a eference at Prinkipo, and that ill advised proposals had added immensely tour disculties and seriously compro mised my position in Russia. It had chcouraged our enemies the Bolsheviks, and it had dideartened our friends and. The regretted to say, alienated their yra

It was directly responsible for pathies. the defection of a large number of the Don Cosacks and for the serious set-back in the South that resulted from that de-Sphere (Thin paper Edn.) fection. The Frinkipo proposal died a natural death. but the idea which it re- presented, that of solving the Russiate problen by direct negotiations with the Bolsheviks, would appear to have been resuscitated. Lenin, it was reported. bad even subruitted a statement of his turing. which was said have found favour with certain members of the Pence Con; ference. There was an old saying that one could not touch pitch without being dufiled, and after the ghastly revelations of the recently published White Book it was inconceivable that any self-respect ing Government should contemplate trent- ing with what was aptly described the other night by a Minister of the Crown

in the House of Commons as a band of

bloodthirty rumans." But putting aside such moral considerations, did anyone for a moment believe that Lenin, whose avowed policy was to overthrow all exist ing Governments, would even be bourd' by any agreement into which he might enter with the Governments of the Allies (Hear, hear.) To negotiate with him was to play into his hands and to give him breathing time to prepare for

new offensive. He had, if report spoke. true. baited the book with which he lioped to catch us with financial promises. Were the Allied Governments to swallow that bait they would indeed merit the epithet of "Capitalist," which, be had so (Hear persistently applied to them. hear.

MORAL OBLIGATIONS, The past year constituted the saddest chapter in Russia's history; and, bách month that passed did but add to tha herrors of the situation. Mr. Keeling, the British trade unionist, who escaped from Russia early la, the year, said that the Russian question was a humanitarian one, and that the misery of the people was so great that it was inenmbent on us to relieve it. He entirely agreed. But there were also moral reasons which rendered it obligatory on us to go to Russia's assistance. First of all, there were the brave men who shed their blood as Russia's contribution to our final victory. Then there was the obligation to act up to our professions, and to secure for all peoples alike the right of self-determination and protection against i tyranny. If neither moral nor humani- tarian arguments appealed to the Allies. the day would come when they would be forced to intervene to protect their vital interests. If ever we allowed Ger- many to get the control of Russia's vast man-power and untold natural wealth we should have lost the war. If we now left Bussin to her fate, she would sooner or later fall under Germany' control. Nor was this the only danger. Lenia was minking an active Bolshevik propaganda, both in India and in China, and if he succeeded in the latter country we should be confronted with a combination of fores even more formidable than that of the old Central Powers. The longer we delayed taking action the' more „dif- ficalt would be our task. It was. in his opinion, useless to talk of a permanent peace so long as we left the Russian prob lem unsolved, for that problem was the dominating factor in the whole situation. (Cheers,)
