EASTERN BALTIC irn tio nuiTrn QUANTITIES ARE: RESTRICTED IN THE JANUARY SALES Villi UV UllllbW IN XFI F-liFFFNKF Finland, Esthonia, Latvia and Po- land Will Present One Front to Enemies in Interior Russia. i By llal O'Flaherty . tpMlal Cabla to The J cranial and Tha Chicac ' Iil3T Nam. (Coprrifht, 130. by Chictfo Daily Vein Ca) Helslngfors, Finland. Jan. 26. The four Baltic states of Finland, Esthonia, Poland and Latvia, have reached a final and definite agree ment upon a military and economic j alliance in the conference here, over coming the dispute between Lith uania and Poland oyer Vilna by ex eluding Lithuania from the alliance. The character of the alliance Is purely defensive. Ail are bound to maintain their fron tiers against the Bolshevik 1, but not to earry warfare into Bolshevist territory, except at their own risk : that Is to say, Poland It free to continue the offensive to the south and east, but cannot expect the oth-rs to help her. f PREPARE FOR TRADE The economic provisions Involve the Immediate restoration of trade between the four states, the rapid rebuilding of 'telephone and telegraph communica tions, through express trains from Reval to Warsaw, the Installation of wireless plants and the broadening' of the freight traffic The alliance takes the form of separate resolutions approved by the delegates which will be submitted to the various parliaments for ratifica tions. Following the ratifications com missions will be formed from repre sentatives of the four states to facili tate tne enforcement oi tne provisions. While all the delegates express full annrnv&l of the work dnn her thv! look with anxiety upon the Lithuanian question, for now that that state has been excluded It is almost a dead cer tainty that she will ally herself either with the Bolshevik! or the German" probably the former. Throughout the entire conference the Poles maintained i a cool attitude toward the Lithuanians, ! offering them two solutions, both of which were refused. First, the Poles agreed to leave Vllna free but In con-i trot of- a Commission from states not In- ? volved until the people had a chance to1 hold a plebiscite. When this failed to! meet approval they offered to leave thei question open for a later decision, al-! lowing Lithuania to become a part of: the Polish state, continue In the confer-1 ence and accept a share In the alliance. Poland maintained the attitude that Lithuania roulil not assert ethnograph- A leal or historical reasons for a Separate I existence or for the possession of Vllna J as the cpl?al city. The Poles asserted , X that Lithuania Is Inhabited most extens-1 I Ively by white Russians, then by Poles,' I and, finally, by Llthiianias. j LITHUANIANS REFUSE ' W These last, .therefore, should give upi I their aspirations for self-determination O mnu enirr come unaer tne Potish orH white Russian governments. These con ditions naturally were not acceptable as the present Lithuanian government hopes to get better terms from Lenin with'; recognition of her national entity. ' This Impasse finally forced the' other states to exclude Lithuania and proceed without her, in the Arm belief that It did not matter whether she cast her ' lot with the Bolshevik! or the Germans. ! as she was already cut off an nhu i to make trouble. For a time this prob- lem threatened to bring the conference! to an ijsuccessful end. Having disposed of this matter, the I delegates proceeded to reach an agree- j ment tetween the four remaining states. It was thought that some pressure j might be brought to bear upon Esthonia i to curtail her negotiations with the Soviets, but this failed to develop. She Is free to continue the Dorps t discus sions and perhaps reach actual peace terms without, even being hindered by i Poland's military operations. This real- ' ly constitutes the most Important phase of the entire Helningfors conference, for In Esthonia's negotiations with the Bol shevikl there is a plain Indication of the trend of affairs throughout middle Europe. ALL TEAR BOLSHEVISTS All countries know that they must eventually come to terms with some rovernment Inside of Russia." They all dislike Bolshevism equally because it' holds its potential threat against organ-': ixed government no matter what guise 1. assumes and what steps are taken, to modifv the soviet rule. The Esthonlan delegates believe confi dently that they gave .the lead to the Paris council in bringing about the re cent decision to raise the economic blockade. They see the other Baltic states swinging to their point of view that it is better to treat with the Bol shevik! to get something approaching normal conditions and then let the un sound and impractical ideas of sovietism and communism die a natural death. Without exception the Baltic states have a certain percentage of their people in fected with communistic ideas but in every case it is a small minority- which is properly suppressed by the classes believing in the right of private owner ship. Reopening trade relations with the Bolshevikl Involves grave risk of spread ing communistic doctrines into the sur rounding countries, but these states feel certain their better elements are strong enough to control the outbreaks. OJiLT FOR DEFESSB : In arranging the, military alliance the various states considered first the pos sibility of an offensive against Bolshe vism. They agreed that this would be imposrtble without the aid of the great powers and this left them only one road to aecurity that through a defensive aiuance. iney feel secure apyUnst In vasion because they know that Trotsky and Lenin failed to carry the warfare Into Esthonia or Latvia Finland main tains an extremely strong position with an excellent army backed by a large whit guard ready for instant action in case the Bolshevikl should begin a movement across the frontier. Poland has already extended her lines so far into Bolshevist territory that she feels eouxe. Thus with closer trade relation ships established all four countries are willing to let the Bolshevikl evolve their governmental Idea resume trade' and even advance a tentative peace offer but the four must be continually pre pared to aid each other should the need arise.
