sheviki were willing TO yield to the
Socialists Of Germany.
In the same way the German Socla-
lists fixed up the representation at
Stockholm so that the 100000 Socialists
in America would have i6 delegates
and the 100000 trade unionists only
four delegates.
What is happening to Russia is ex-
actly what would have happened TO the
workingmen Of France, England and
America if our government had per-
mitted the German Socialists in Amer
lea to go to Stockholm to conspire with
their brother Socialists from Germany
and Austria.
The German Socialists declared
AGAINST indemnities and annexations In
deed, the kai-er and the German Socia-
lists can we'll do without annexations
or indemnities If they can do what they
demand Of the Bolsheviki-compel the
Russian workingmen and farmers to
become forever the vassals Of Germany
and the German Socialists.
Germany's socalled peaceful penetra-
ton is worse for Russia than anneXa-
ton.
If Russia were annexed, the Russians
would have representation in the reicf-
stag. II Germany controls the markets
OF Russia, the Russians are exploited
without a vote TO protect themselves.
In Germany. the Socialist party sup
ports the war That ought to be ex-
'pected in Ny country aftev war is de-
clared. But II was a year before the
war, in 1918, that the Socialists of Ger
many voted with the capitalists for
the enormous war taxes that enabled
the kaiser 10 GET READY for war. He
needed their no votes.
Always before that year they had
voted against money for preparation for
war.
But in 1913 they made the excuse that
the capitalists and arlstocracy were to
pay the bills, ana that the taxes would
be voted anyhow in a worse form
And, in order to clear themselves and
make a record, this Socialist caucus in
the German reich tag played a cheap
political trick They asked the govern
ment TO divide the question so that they
could vote against ornaments In sne
vote and then turn around and vote
for the taxes to pay for the armaments
by another vote.
They added fraud to their crime. They
sold out to the milltarists, and did 1t In
such a tricky way that they could

Germany's alleged offer Of peace to
the Bolsheviki Of Russia shows why
the Socialists Of Germany support the
kaiser.
Germany is reported as demanding
that Russia should admit German manu-
features free Of tariff duty, and should
give 10 Germany control Of the entire
Russian expectation of wheat.
Whether these are the actual demands
or not. they agree with Germany's rec
ord. 1t is the record Of what she calls
peaceful penetration"
This kind Of peaceful penetration"
means the destruction Of Russian manu-
features and low wages for Russian
workmen. in favor OF high profits for
German capitalists and high wages for
German workingmen.
1t means that Russia will not have
the Industries or the skilled labor that
can make munitions Of war.
10 means cheap food for German work
men at the expense Of Russian peasants
and farmers.

the kaiser's willing and eager agents to
get the Socialists and workingmen Of
the world to fall into the very trap laid
for the Bolsheviki This is shown by
what they tried to do at Stockholm.
They invited the Socialists and work
ingmen Of the world to meet at Stock
holm, in order to discuss terms Of
peace. Then they fixed up the represen-
tatlon so that the Kerensky Socialists
would not be represented, but the Boil
sheviki would send delegates.

Serenely cheerful looks peaceful down.

And the hallowed sign but mcagrc
