Bolsheviki Told That Efforts To Gu”
_ Trouble Violate The |
Armistice 0
London. — The Daily News corres
pondent at Petrograd sends the follow
ing: ; |
“The final rupture of negotiations at
Brest-Litovsk may be expected at any
moment, as it seems probable that the
German militarists will continue to im
pose their policy on their delegates.”
The correspondent says a dispatch
from Kuban reports that the Turks
have broken the armistice by landing
20,000 troops between Trebizond and
Lize and that a submarine has sunk a
Russian transport.
German Account Of The Peace Parley
Amsterdam. — The report of the
Wolff bureau, the German offieial news
agency, on the deliberations at the
Brest-Litovsk peace conference says
that at the opening of the sitting Count
Czernin, Austro-Hungarian minister,
announced that the central powers
recognized the Ukrainian delegation
as an “independent delegation repre
senting the Ukraine republic,” but
that formal recognition of the Ukrain
fan republic as an independent state
would be reserved for the peace treaty.
M. Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign
minister, followed Count Czernin, say
ing that such conflicts as had occurred
between the Russian government and
the Ukraine have “had no connection
with the question of self-determina
tion of the Ukraine, concerning which
there is no room for conflict between
the two sister republics.”
M. Bolebowysch, the Ukrainian sec
retary of state, accepted the state
ments of Count Czernin and M, Trotzky
and announced that his delegates
would participate in the peace negoti
ations on that basis. :
Later in the session the delegates
discussed the German claim that the
Russian wireless statements issued
during the recess constituted a trans
gression of the spirit of the armistice,
M. Trotzky desired to know in what
particular the spirit of the armistice
had been transgressed by the communi
cations, and General Hoffmann, of the
German delegation, replied:
“At the head of the armistice treaty
stood the words ‘Bring about a lasting
peace.’ Your Russian propaganda
transgressed this intention because it
did not strive after a lasting peace,
but to carry the resolutions concern
ing civil war into the countries of the
central powers.”
M. Trotzky answered General Hoff
mann, pointing out that all the German
newspapers were being freely admit
ted into Rusia, even newspapers which
were supporting the views of the ex
treme Rusian reactionaries. Complete
equality had been observed in this re
spect and it had nothing to de with
the armistice treaty. General Hoff
mann retorted that this protest wasn't
directed against the Rusian press, but
against official government statements
and statements which bore the signa
ture of Ensign Krylenko, commander
in-chief of the Bolsheviki forces.

'TO OPPOSE FIXING
PRICE OF COTTON
i (Continued from page 1)
;secretary of the Marketing
{Board, upon authority of
{Harry D. Wilson, of Louisiana;
land it was called specifically
'to consider, among other
'things, the effort on the part of
|certain interests to induce the
[government to put a maximum
'price upon the South’s prin
|cipal product.
| This marketing board has
'already taken unanimous
stand against government
Iprice-fixing as applied to cot
'ton; and there is every reason
‘to believe that, at the coming
meeting, it will put forth every
|possible effort to prevent such
laction,
I “We have opposed it from
the very beginning, and we
'shall continue to oppose it with
'all the earnestness we can
fcommand,” said Commissioner
J. J. Brown, who is chairman
‘of the executive committee of
the advisory marketing board.
“The producer may rest as
sured that this board proposes
‘'to employ every legitimate
!means in the protection of his
linterests. Another important
|thing to be done at this New
{Orleans meeting, will be to
select and employ a competent
director general who will be
sent to Washington as the rep
iresentative of the board to
'safeguard the agricultural and
business interests of the South.
This board made a heroic fight
when bear speculators had
pressed prices down last fall
below 20 cents a pound. That
fight was successful. The
board now asks and expects
the business men of the South
to stand behind it and give it
their support.” '
Commissioner Brown, who
will attend the meeting, stated
that the important question of
the 1918 cotton acreage would
also be discussed. |
