SOVIET RUSSIA FACES CENSURE * OF 5 POWERS Warning That Bolshevistic Propaganda Must Cease Is Contemplated. Bn United Press GENEVA, June 16.—A warning to Soviet Russia that spread of Bolshevist propaganda throughout Europe must cease is understood to be contemplated by the foreign ministers of England, France, Germany, Belgium and Italy. While these representatives of the powers which signed the Locarno treaties apparently are pledged to secrecy on the subject, to prevent giving Russia the impression that a united front against that country is being organized, it is stated on good authority that all have participated in the discussions on Russia. Foreign Ministers Chamberlain, Briand, Stresemann, Vandervelde and Scialoia are said to have considered the ending of Bolshevist propaganda. It is understood that measures will be taken shortly to advise the Soviet informally of the Locarno ministers’ common attitude.

Bv United Press PARIS, June 15.—French government officials were confident today, they had sovled the unpleasant problem presented them by President Cooldige Naval Limitationi Conference.
