' Therefore, it is declared, the red danger to Europe has passed, as soviet Russia has tried and' failed to lead the red army into offensive war fare against even a nation whose original attack is . said to have brought, the bolshevik army to its maximum strength.

The European governments whose posi tion has been such as to render the question Of political expediency ' of the moment of Greater imnorfatrr than in the case of America, have sought ways and means- to offset what they have looked upon as a menace to their direct national in terests by bolshevik aggression while evading the issue ofactual recogni tion of the soviet government. It is pointed out that the state ment issued aiter the conference of Premiers Llovd George and Giolitti, published today, declaring that soviet Russia has proved by evidence of bad faith in the peace proposals to Poland, that no dealing with Mos cow is possible, indicates that allied governments now realize that threats of Lenine and Trotiky cannot he carried out.
