t]g of the Soviet governments accepthe
*nce of Premier Lloyd George'a
he armistice proposal, which declared
?i- a truce in military activities ben*

A dispatch to the Labcv Herald
today reported the taxt of the Moscow
government's note accepting
the British proposal. The note was
signed by M. Tchitcherln. Bolshevik
S foreign minister, and protested that
the Soviet government had' not at
any time attacked Great Britain or
its possessions.
Acceptance of the armistice proposal
carried with It cessation of
[jt military activities in Turkey, the
Caucasus and Persia, release of all
British prisoners, recognition of the
Russian foreign debt, and stoppage
of Bolshevik propaganda in India
and other parts of Asia.
In return Britain will open commercial
trade advantages to Soviet

believed, will reault in- pressure being
