MAT BAB BOLSHEVIKI FROM THE CONFERENCE President Tschaikovski of North ern Russia Expected to Reach Paris Within a Few Days. (By the Associated Presl) Paris, Jan. 30. As yet the peace conference has received no formal re ply from the Russian Soviet govern ment regarding the invitation sent to all the Russian governments to meet conference representatives at Princess Island, but the Russian commission at Paris will probably make formal re sponse in a few days in behalf of the various Russian governments. The commission is now considering the proposal but prospects seem to be that it will decline to sit in confer ence with any representatives of the Bolsheviki. The expected declina tion, however, will be couched in French language and will embody ex planation of the commission' reason for decling. The members of the Russian com mission state that all caucus govern ments as wel as the Omsk govern ment are in complete unity and will give the Paris commission unqualified support. President TschaikovBki, of the gov ernment of Northern Russia, who sail ed from Archangle January 1st, is ex pected to reahc Paris in a few day to confer with the committee. AMERICA AS MELTING POT "DELUSION AND A SNARE" -BCaahington, Jan. 29. America as a melting pot "have proved to a great extent a delusion and a snare," de clared the house immigration commit tee in its report today on the bill to prevent general immigration for four years after the signing of the peace treaty. The report said that the legislation not only would protect American workingmen from unfair competition during the period of in dustrial readjustment, but also would prevent the Bolsheviki from coming to America to spread their doctrine., "If the Bolshevists in Russia are suppressed," said the report, "they will be the ones who will come here to join their brothers, both foreign and native, in flaunting the red flag and teaching death to individuals and destruction to property. "The far-famed melting pot has proven to a great degree a delusion and a snare. We feel that it is now time that we were beginning to look after those of our own household, rather than to open our ports to many who know nothing of our laws, our customs, our standards of living and never intend to learn them."
