Vorkovsky Links Peace to Allies Views at Stockholm
In Stockholm an interview with United Press M Vorkov of Russia said Russia would halt separate peace talks if the allies grant passports to a Stockholm conference and show sincere interest in its decision. He praised the British Labour party action and favored a democratic general peace over a half peace. He warned that if the central powers reject Stockholm or its rulings Russia will stay in the war. He urged proof that passports to the conference are not a maneuver to sidetrack Russian-German negotiations.
