ISpecial Dispatch to The Evening Sun. Paris, Feb. 4. President WU-son will go into Belgium on Saturday morning. First he will visit Brussels and later the Liege and Yser battle fields.

The interview, which is the first obtained with the Bolshevik leader, was given Rokert Minor, an American newspaper man, and was cabled from Berlin by the World correspondent. Lenine told Mjnor that the Soviets were even inclined to pay the debts incurred by the old regime if by that means the war can be stopped. Cynical About League. Asked what he thought of Russia's eligibility to the league of nations, Lenine replied that "they are not forming a league of nations, but a league of imperialists to strangle the nations." He added that President Wilson is a shrewd man. Lenine discussed American political, economic and social affairs and then Washington, Feb.

4. What is the truth about the world's food situation today, as related to the problem of handling the 1919 crop of cereals and meats of the United States? That question has been brought squarely before the legislative leaders in connection with the legislation to execute the guarantee of the $2.26 wheat price. Loose talk has been indulged about the bonus of a billion and a quarter to the wheat growers, when, in fact, it is yet very uncertain whether the Government will have to invest any money at all in making good the guaranteed price. More likely, however, the Government will be called upon to carry some part of the I I crop tor a time, and will ultimately get its money abruptly asked "How soon will the out without substantial loss, revolution reach America? The Bolshevik Premier said he won Escape Of Loss Not Necessarily Blessing, dered "how long Gompers cun hold the Tt in hv no means certain that for the time it is merely a Question of when and labor unions as subservient to imperial' ism as he is." now. He described the imprisonment of account of a meeting new maw asning-ton theatre at which establishment of Soviets in America was discussed.

Representatives Gordon, of Ohio, and Mason, of Illinois, were among those present and Mason made a speech. "I am shocked and horrified," said Myers, "that such a meeting was permitted here within a block of the White Ilouse and in the shadow of the Capitol dome. The irony of it was that it was in a building owned by the United States Government. "If the member of Congress who addressed the meeting said what he is reported to have said be ought to be expelled. "The Department of Justice should investigate, and if there is no law to punish those guilty of such seditions utterances the Senate Judiciary Committee should draw up such a law.

"We deal too softly with the Bolsheviki. The iron hand of extermination should be used." Myers said the United States should withdraw troops from Russia or send enough there to kill off the Bolsheviki. Appeal By Lenlne Read. Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, read from a St Louis newspaper an appeal by Lenine. the Russian Bolshevik leader, to American workers to overthrow the Government with flame and sword.

"There is a propaganda on foot to do this very thing," said Kellogg. "And the American name of the organization back of it is the Industrial Workers of the World," observed Senator Thomas, of Colorado. "It's made up of the scum of Kurope, anarchists and murderers," continued Kellogg. "The same element we sent to the other day!" inquired Senator Borah. Senator Walsh, of Montana, urged that the Senate committee investigating propaganda should inquire who paid for the insertion of the Lenine appeal in the St.

4. The constitution of the league of nations is expected to be virtually completed tonight at the meeting of the special committee having that work in charge. While several plans have been submitted, it was learned that the joint Anglo-American program will be the crux of the discussion. It includes a score of articles embracing British and American views, with a preamble outlining necessity for the establishment of the league. To Reduce Armaments.

This program was presented at yesterday's meeting of the committee, but owing to the fact it was not printed in French, it was not generally discussed. The program will be presented in both French and English at tonight's meeting, which will open in the Hotel Cril-lon at 8.30 o'clock. An agreement has already neon reported on the principle of reduction of armaments under the league of nations, according to authoritative information. This means that America's naval program either will be sealed up or scsled down by the league, according to its relative policing functions compared with other powers. Size Of U.

Formation of these subcommittees is already under way. Poles And Czechs Pacified.

The conflict between the Poles and the Czecho-Slovaks over disputed territory has been temporarily settled by the peace delegates under the principles to be incorporated in the league of nations, according to an official announcement today. The communique setting forth the terms of the agreement under which the dispute is to be decided by the Peace Conference is signed by President Wilson and the Premiers of Great Britain, France and Italy, in addition to representatives of Poland and Czeeho-Slo-vakia. Text Of Agreemnt. The text of the agreement follows: "The representatives of the great powers having been informed of the conflict which has arisen between the Czech and Poles in the principality of Tescben, in consequence of which the mining district of Ostrawa Karvin and the railway from Oderberg to Teschen and Jablung-kau has been occupied by the Czechs, have declared as follows: "In the first instance, they think it necessary to remind the nationalities who have engaged to submit the territorial questions which concern them to the Peace Conference that they are breaking its decision to refrain from taking as a pawn or from occupying the territories to which they lay claim.

It is obvious that at the very best our repair bills will be only litical contingencies, acceptance of the plan was influenced principally by the military situation.

The American peace delegation had learned through its agents that Premier Lenine and Foreign Minister Tchitehenn were disposed to accept the associated powers' proposal for a joint conference at Princes Island, provided the conference were preceded by complete Allied evacuation. This was said to be the sole reawn for the American suggestion, which included French withdrawal from the Ukraine. On the other hand, the British already had decided on evacuating Northern Russia because of the increasingly dangerous position of its troops in that region. In British military circles it was freely admitted today that only the question of physical difficulties will determine whether their troops will come out by the eud of April, or sooner. The Murmansk contingent can be moved immediately with comparatively little difficulty, but in the Archangel district there is already a considerable barrier of ice, and it is recognized that a quick movement would be attended with great danger.

The troops involved include 4.000 Americans and 20,000 British and Canadians. There are also great quantities of supplies and material in that region which the Allies have no intention of abandoning. However, the military problem has been carefully studied and plans are reported to have been completed, even to the number and size of the ice breakers that will be required.
