CONCERNING RUSSIA. — LONDON, November 28. The “Dispatch’s” Berlin corlespoudent states: The Soviet’s plot to secure Germany’s co-operation in alarming the world by proclaiming tho danger of war in Eastern Europe has failed. On the eve of Geneva the Soviet has been trying to get on the European political stage in the role of guardian of the peace, and therefore invented the story of danger of war from which they alone were able to save Europe. The difficulties existing in Lithuania and Polland since 1923, when the Council or Ambassadors gave Vilna to Poland, were exploited. The Soviet’s propaaganda agents spent days in engineering a preliminary newspaper campaign which culminated in the presentation of the Soviet’s note to Warsaw written by M. Chicherin, the cleverest intriguer in Europe, and M. Litvinoff ’s visit to Herr Stresemann in the attempt to bolster a grotesque war scare. Stresemann’s organ, “Taglisehe Rundschau,” denies that Cabinet ever discussed Litvinoff’s visit, and points out tjiat Marshal Pilsudski would not have gone ’ ;almost (ostentatiously to Vilna if Poland were actually plotting to attack Lithuania. Furthermore, it dentes that Germany intends to make representations (to Kovno or Warsaw, thus the J Bolsheviki Government got no encouragement from Berlin to pose as saviours of Europe from an imaginary war, and then circulare the hafl. among a grateful audience for badly—needed mosey.
