EUROPE'S FEAR
LONDON, June 2. — "The absolu

Thus spoke Sergious Sasanoff, tl
Russian foreign minister, in an Inte
view w ith the Associated Press Petr

"The alliance made by the gover

M. Sasanoff. "In this friendship I si

Idea Will Triumph.
"Crystallization of the idea in En

powers have lost no matter how tl
fortitude and shcrifice of their peop

"With the establishment and growl
of this unity and amenity must con
also the dissipation of the tnischie

aims at the expense of Europe. N
thing is further from the Russia

with the legitimate growth and dev*

life secured, with our boundaries sul
ably adjusted and our fellow Slavs a
surer! of their due, the destinies at

"We can then turn to the true aspl
ations of the Russian government ar
people, namely, the development i
our vast empires, and the furtherir
of the interests of the nation's pe
pies embraced within our empire, ar
the realization of this solemn trul
must demolish the fallacies and fi
tions heretofore spread by enemies r
garding the alleged Slav peril to E

dence that the Russian does m
stand as a menace to Norway, Swede
and other neighbors. I have the ho[

If the vicious ideas that Russia ht
any national aspirations whatever thi
in the slightest way infringe on the
national life, and 1 hope the recei
rumors regarding the Aland island
which now happily are dissipate*
will prove the last error of suspicio
of the Swedes regarding Russia."
Lets Poland Get Relief.
M. Sasanoff. referring to the pron
ises of Polish autonomy, said:
"No one deprecates more than tt
I
Russian government the sufferlnf
which have come to Poland and th
Polish refugees. His majesty, the er
peror, has been moved at the distres
of his Polish subjects and the greati

swept aside military aspects, and t
has freely given permission for wid

Promises Autonomy.
“The Poles cannot expect that

able to outline in full our progra
for Poland's future, but that Polai
will receive a just and equitable a
tonomy in the greatest degree, a
justed to their future life and the
economic and industrial developmei
is certain. The Poles and the friem
of the Poles may. therefore, look fo
