SOVIET AIMS AHE I wideas world: Vast Ambitions of Russian Reds Are Discussed by German Prince -. ' MANNHEIM, Germany, Auk 27. 1 (Correspondence.) "The present mill" , tnr' operations are onl a very minor , part of a world-wide offensive which Soviet Russia Is now setting In mo-j ; tion," declared Prlneo Max of Baden in the course of n lengthy Interview1 Which appears today in the Baden' FTtntf Gazette Asked whether he saw a way out of the present dilemma for Germany. Prince Max, according to, the report s-iirt "There Is only one very slender , hope; It consists in an unconditional maintenance of our neutrality both to the east and the west, and In one, last desperate effort to effect a rcvls-1 Ion of the Versailles peace treaty." Prince Max believes that what ho , calls the Gorman resistance to the moral Invasion of bolshevlsm Is bound, to crumble down If the checking pres-j sure from the west Is kept up. "It would be doing scant Justice to; Lenities uncanny personality." he continued. "If one were to believe that he Is capable Of keeping more than ai , sham peace with so-called capitalistic stales Lenlne believes with religious fanaticism In the victorious march of , his Idea the dictatorship of the pro-, pro-, letarlat or of the communistic portion por-tion of the proletariat. He Is. of course, enough of a psychologist to understand that a military Invasion of an country he wants to disrupt would he the ver)- means of consolidating consoli-dating it. His plan would rather consist con-sist In provoking and fostering 1 i ll war In the bordering states so that, when 'be time was ripe for Invasion,' ho would find an open door and a union of comrades." Prince Max believes that the pros-' pects of UCh a plan succeeding in Germany are not wholly unpromising, as the moral invasion 1 he declares has already set In and new from East Prussia plainly Indicates that the red propaganda among farm laborers there Is already taking effect. "Europe today la aflame," he concludes, con-cludes, "and the task of extinguishing the conflagration eanno! le .mu-poned. .mu-poned. The situation demands the restoration re-storation of President Wilson s fourteen four-teen points.' which constituted the . basis for the treaty, hut which were wholly ignored nt Versailles. "All artificial edifices erected there have already tumbled down or are threatened with Imminent collapse. The fate of Poland Is a horrible ex- ample. The Polish state can only be revived If. In keeping with President Wilson's w0r(j8 n comprises an unchallengeable un-challengeable Polish population." 00
