RUSSIA SENDS
PEACE OFFER
TRADE TO BE RESUMED; WILL
SEND NO, MORE ARM8 AGAINST
THEM
International News Service.
Paris, Feb. 24.—The supreme coun-
cil of premiers in session in London
today received a formal peace offer
from the Russian Soviet government
located at Moscow. Premier Nitti is
urging the acceptance of the terms
while Lloyd George is disposed to con-
form to the views of Premier Miller-
and, who violently opposes peace with
Russia. The premiers have decided
to send no more arms, ammunition or
money to the antl-Bolslievikl forces
and have advised Poland not to at-
tack Russia, so the Journal says to-
day. It further declares that the pre-
miers have re-approved their decision
to open commercial relations with
Russia through the co-operative socie-
ties.
We have on hand a limited supply of Bright Re-cleaned
Red Seed Oats, Re-cleaned Amber Cane Seed, Maine Cobbl
ers and Triumph Seed Potatoes.

affirmed their decision to open com-
mercial trading relations with Russia,
providing that the Soviet people rec-
ognize the Russian national debt, and
abandons the propaganda outside of
Russia.
