tBy Associated Pres.1

PETROGRAD. June IA resolution
catesoricaliy rejecting any move for a
separate peace between Germany and
Russia has been adopted by an over
whelmiHg majority by the Congress of
Workmen's and Soldiers Deputies OF
all Russia. The resolution ut the same
time declares that restoration OF peace
at the earliest possible day Is the most
important need of the Russian revolu-
tionary democracy. The text OF tho
resolution, which was proposed by
revolutionary Socialists. and the Mini
malist Social Democrats. follows:
Tho present war arose in conse-
quence OF aspirations % imperIalists,
prevailing among the ruling classes OF
countries. and tending towards the
usurpation Of markets and submission,
to their economic and political in
fluence Of small and decadent nations.
The war is leading to complete ex-
haustion OF the peoples OF all countries,
and is placing the Russian revolution
on the edge OF precipice. While maxi
ing millions of victims and absorbing
billions OF the wealth Of the country,
1t threatens to increase still more tho
disorder In which Russia was left by
the old regime, leading to famine and
turning the country from productive
labor for consolidation OF its newly
won liberty.
THE congress recognizes consequent
~ that the struggle for more rapid
ending OF the war constitutes the most
important problem for the revolu-
tionary democracy--a problem imposed
as much by the interests OF the revo-
luton as by the aspirations OF tho
workers OF all countries to put an end
to mutual determination. and restore
their tIaternal union for the common
struggle for complete liberation Of hu-

1.-The congress recognizes. first. that
ending the war by means OF the de-
feat OF one Of the bclliserents would
constitute the point Of departure for
fresh wars, increase discussions among
the nations. and lead them to COM
plete exhaustion. famine and ruin:
second. that a separate peace would
strengthen one of the belligerents. and
give it the possibility Of gaining a de-
cisive victory over the others. would
strengthen aspirations towards usur-
patton by the ruling classes. and, while
liberating Russia from the grip of
worldwide Imperialism. would hinder
Consequently the congress categorical
ly rejects every policy tending in fact
to the conclusion OF a separate peace,
or to its prelude. separate armistice."

The essential point is that TINS
statement, despite its objectionable

ciplcs which are much more favor
able to Germany than the declaration
of their aims made by the allies

the rather wholesale disruption OF
Autsrai-Hungary and Turkey. upon
which the allies very !unwisely laht

that this German party, represent

This shows a more conciliatory attl-
