LONDON, Jan. 2.—On the eve of his
return to Copenhagen to resume the
prisoner exchange negotiations with
Maxim Litvinoff, the bolshevik repre-
sentative, James O'Grady told the
Mirror correspondent that he believed
the pourparlers would be successful
and that the repatriation of British
prisoners and British civilian residents
In soviet Russia would be effected by
the end of January.
Mr. O’Grady said his consultations
since his return from Copenhagen
would aid materially in bringing about
a settlement. He expressed it as his
opinion that Russia would save herself
if left alone.
“She is now lie a child groping in
the dark, but she is-growing up,”, he
declared. “Ninety per cent of Russia’s
population is illiterate,” continued Mr.
O'Grady. “The other10 per cent is
purely predatory'. They are Asiatic
people and are at least a thousand
years behind our civilization. We must
give them time and help them.
“Russia will regenerate herself by
her own resources. I believe she will
become the America of another new
world. The soviet government today
is far more humanitarian, far saner
■ and far more sttesmanlie than the
soviet government of a year ago.
Atrocities, of course, are being com-
mitted by these Asiatics, but I know
that when the perpetrators are ad-
judged guilty they are exterminated.”
Mr. O'Grady strongly opposed armed
intervention in Russia.
leader in South Russia, daily is becom-
ing more critical. Reports received by
the war office show that his retreat is
continuing along virtually the whole of
his six hundred mile front, and that
the bolshevist drive against his center,
with the purpose of cutting his army
in two, has brought about a critical
situation.
The bolshevik advance guards have
reached the Donetz coal basin and are
less than 100 miles from the coast.
This basin represents the richest min-
eral section of Russia and its acqui-
sition by the reds would be of inesti-
mable value to -them.
Caucasus Army in Peril.
Further east the reds are imperiling
the left flank of the Caucasus army.
The bolshevik! evidently have succeed-
ed in brilliantly concentrating over-
whelming forces against Denikine’s
somewhat thinly held center, and are
exploiting their advantage to the full-
est degree.
Another threatening situation exists
in Trns-Caspia, where the bolsheviki
claim that they have occupied a point
eighty miles east of Krasnovodis, .-in
their advance toward that town. Rei
reinforcements continue to arrive in
the Mery region of Trans-Caspia from
central Russia. This makes the men-
ace along the Persian and Afghan bor-
ders critical. The red propaganda is
increasing in Intensity and all the evi-
dence indicates that the soviet govern-
ment entertains far reaching anti-
British desigasin central Asia.
The war office report says that it
amy be considered that -General Kol-
