Whoever Wishes Peace
Must Prepare for War
Says Russian Congress

Petrograd, May 30.--Russia Is soldiers
believe in emo forced annexations and
no punitive indemnities, " according ia
resolutions adopted today by a congress
of delegates from the front.
The congress resolved unanimously:
"The army in the trenches is dis
posed to consider every measure to end
quickly as possibly this international
carnage and to conclude peace without
annexations and without indemnities, on
the basis of the right of all nations 10
dispose of themselves. We proclaim 81.
multaneously the watchword Whoever
wishes peace must prepare for war.
The resolution, continuing pointed
out that conditions under which the Rus
sian army had fought were infinitely
worse than those of the other allies and
declared that those at the front must
be provided with munitions and every
thing else necessary. This, it was de-
elared. was in line with the principle
that "the more mental, the less gun
fodder" In conclusion, the congress
appealed to all lovers of free Russia
TO rally to support the workmen's and
soldiers council and the provisional
government, in which the army has con-
fidence, "and not to permit utilization
of the Russian army in adventures, or
killing Of its soldiers, "'to fertilize for

he had borrowed less than one two-hun-
dredths of his assets; that to go into
debt to the extent his European neigh
bors have borrowed would require bor-
rowing to the extent of nearly fifty
billions. This volume of money would
enable him to conduct five years of
warfare with an annual expenditure
equal to that which Great Britain is now
making.
So, inspite of the fact that the Liber-
ty Loan multiplies the national debt by
seven, in spite of the fact that it is the
largest loan ever offered in the world s
history comparison of the proposed
debt, with our resources, compels the
conclusion that such volume of bor-
rowing, under present conditions, will
hardly impair, to the slightest degree,
the nations credit and the successful
consummation of this loan viii not re-
quire anything like the financial strain
that most European nations have al
ready successfully undergone.
