Russian Soviets Seek Peace Meeting With Capitulatory Surrender
The Russian Soviet government reportedly notified Britain it would meet for a peace conference in London only after surrendering General Wrangel in the south with personal safety guaranteed. The note also signals willingness for an armistice in Poland and questions Britain's trade talks. Warsaw reports a Polish coalition cabinet forming with Vincent Witos as premier, Daszyński as vice premier, and a peace-leaning stance amid Bolshevik moves. Bituminous coal production for the week ending July 17 reaches 10,069,000 tons, the highest since March, with lake shipments at 603,803 tons and season total 5,288,000 tons.
