l wish 10 dlsabuse all minds respecting my views
on this subject / do not come here to oppose
the Russian advance into Hungary because
think that in any conceivable turn Of events
Russia ever can be dangerous 10 the existence

step that required England or any other great

chest without e farthing in IL. Why, gentle
men, how long Is it since we heard Of the Rus

with its resources Of wealth, and with the COM

would have gone through Hungary from one
end TO the other. do not speak Of fighting the
Hungarians, but merely Of the difficulty of get

that the difficulty that the Russians have to en-
counter is the difficulty Of carrying supplies.
that stops them is the want Of a commssariat,
the want Of honesty on the part OF those who
are intrusted with IL, the difficulty Of the roads,
and the danger Of attack by hostile population
and all this trace to the undoubteG poverty OF
the Russian Government Now, we do not
come here TO interfere with foreign countries,
or 10 make a crusade against foreign finances,
until they have violated the principles Of neu-
trality and the rights of independence, In which
We claim TO have an interest Therefore IL is
