Copyright, April 16— Conservative newspaper opinion in Swe- den @nd also in the other Scandinavian countries nterprets President Harding's foreign policies as decidediy favorable toward Germany. which, to many whose sympathies remain with their clos neighbors. compensates for the refusal of the United States to join the league of nations. In the press comments there appear many efforts to_interpret Mr. Harding'’s words as anti-British. Wi regard ain and Ja (Daily New: diplomacy is already in full swin; is significant that the new Pr first engages ‘in_a somewhat irr exchange of opinion with those t; tions. How tion had previously indicated Americ disapproval of the allies’ decision on the mandate question. “Thus President Harding consistent- 1y vindicates the American position on this point in sharp terms. The feel- ing between the United States and her former allies is not very cordial. but fortunately there seems to be a pros- pect of compromise.” * The Dagligt Allehanda (New Daily Events), a conservative after- noon paper, says: “A separate peace with Germany will permit the resumption of direct negotiations, with the result that Ger- many will no longer be wholly ot %o the arbitrary dealings of the vic- tors. It seems safe to venture the opiniop that if the United States is faced with the alternative of support- 4ng the allies in a ruthless extortion from the conquered or promoting the interests of world economy, she will choose the Jatter.” . The newspaper comment génerally shows a disposition to exaggerate the aloofness of the United States into - a suspicious attitude toward the en- tente. RED ARANY CHES DEMAND B FRCE for Peaceful Life” as Labor Becomes Energetic. By the Associated Press. RIGA. Letvia, April 15—Russia mu: maintain her military strength, in spite of the fact that fighting has ceased on all fronts, as the period of tranmsition from war to peace is one filled with danger. says a resolu- tion adoptsd at a conference of army commissaries and commanders at Moscow. The text of the resolution is printed in the newspaper Pravda of_that city. and follows: “The liquidation of the battlefronts. partial demobilization and the con- centration of energy on labor has decreased the attention given to army affairs, and this conference considers it necessary” to issue a warning against enthusiasm for peaceful life. All Russian soviets have decided unanimously that our army must be maintained and its fighting efli- ciency increased. a1 = obody should forget that pre- paredness for war is a guaranty of peace. It is more .difficult to pre- serve the army during peace than during war, and the present tran- sition period is dangerous for both the army and the revolution. 'The fronts are liquidated. but soviet Rus- sia remains a country of war and of labor as heretofore.” Reports reaching this city indicate there is fear of new disorders in bol- shevik Russia. The organization of the new “international army.” plans for which were announced last week. ‘has been commenced. This force will replace the old soviet army and will be made the basis of -the military strength which will be available to enforce the dictates of the third in- ternationale. —_— RED FAILURE IS FACTOR IN PEACE, SAYS HOOVER Chaos in Ceptral Europe Would Have Been Fatal to Allied In- stitutions, He Asserts. PHILADELPHIA. April 16.— Had propaganda of a bolshevist and anarchistic order, born of the misery of war famine, been successful in central Europe. no peace would have ‘becn possible, Herbert Hoover, Secre- tary of Commerce. declared here be- fore the Philadelphia Public Ledger Forum on the peace conference. “Nor could intensive production have stimulated to that degree nec- essary to lay the foundation of sup- port to the excessive urban popula- tiens* he continued. “Furthermore, it would have been impossible for us 10 expect even to maintain the allied or our own institutions if central Eu- rope had succumbed to this sort of chaos.” Secretary Hoover reviewed the American viewpoint on the solution of the major economic problems which were discussed at Paris. Touching on American philanthropies, its imum load, America alone was providing in charit and shelter for more than hildren of allied and liberat Jt s sufficient to say that bore the major burden in negotiat- ing such arrangements and that her disinterestedness, her sense of serv- ice, carried Europe through this, the most_ terrible period of its history “The final signing of peace mark- ed a great turning in political and economic force from disintegration and destruction. on the -one hand, to- ward freedom of commerce and pro- duction and renewed hope, on the other.” U.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 16.—The question of what to do with Gen. {Wrangel’s army worries the allies as {well as the Turks. The Turks would like to dispense with the unwelcome guests, who put up the prices of food in Constantinople, while the allies, especially the Greeks, see the former anti-bolshevist army as a permanent source of danger. All believe that the Russians, who are dissatisfied with the way in which they have been treated by the allies, {are apt to listen to bolshevist propa- ganda_and either fall on the rear of the Greeks with arms supplied by the strong bolshevist and nationalist organizations existing in Constanti- nople ' or provoke trouble in the capital when the nationalists are near enough to take advantage of such disturbances. . Efforts by French. Under these cizcumstances the French have deemed it necessary to try tor disperse General Wrangel's forces, either by sending them back to Russia or providing them with means to emigrate to Brazil. The Brazilian government has consented to_accept 10,000 Cossacks. Reports were spread that the French would use machine guns to force the Russians to embark. but these are denied by responsibie officers, who say that no pressure will be brought to bear on Gen. Wrangel's troops, but that French and Russian lecturers make addresses in the Gallipoli camp daily, pointing out to the soldiers the necessity of their emigrating to Brazil or returning to Russia, the present financial situation in France not per- mitting that country to continue care a long time for 10.000*men. Gen. Wrangel himself opposes the emigration or disbandment of the jarmy. He is asking the French for help to remove the entire force of about 25,000 to Serbia, where, he say |they can work on the land and & when the opportunity occurs. Carried Back to Russi In epite of Gen. Wrangel's protest ts have left Constantinople learrying soldiers back to Russia.
