RUSSIA'S PLIGHT.
TRADE AS A SOLUTION
NO MIDDLE EAST DANGER. By Telegraph.—Press Assr..—Copytle'nt. Received Feb. 12, 5.3.1 p.m. London, Fob. 12. Sir. Lloyd Georg<!, continuing his speech in the House of Commons, said an alternative solution of the Russian problem was to mal;e peace vith the Bolsheviks, but observation and experience must, lin-t demonstrate UiaC Russia had dropped barbaric methods and was governing on civilised'lines. He believed we could, restore Russia's sanity—not. by force, but by trade and commerce, which had a sobering effect. JIo did not apprehend a Bolshevik invasion, because they were unable to organise a powerful army, and such a motive as plundering prosperous- provinces did not exist. Jvo Bolshevik force could invade flic Middle East, There was nothing they could get if ihey did. What was there in the. mountains of Armenia and Turkestan, or even in Mesopotamia, which the British-did not control? He expressed the opinion that trading would end the ferocity, rapine and cruelties of the Bolsheviks more surely than any other method.—Aus.-X.Z. Cable Assn.
