message, has taken every measure
possible strictly to fulfill ;he treaty
from their side and in this way tp
secure for our people the chief aim or
this treaty, a state of peace.
1Hut in reality no such state of
peace exists. In the south of the Rus
sian republic there is Il further adj
vance northwards by German troops
and attachments of Ghrainians. They
are advancing upon Nurslky and Voro-
neZh, territory undoubtedly Great Rus
sian. They have crossed into the Cri-
mean peninsula. That frontier line,
which was one sidedIy established bv
the ukrainian rada itself and officially
made known to us by The German gov
eminent: has been infringed by Ger
man and ukrafnian troops. s,imultanu-
ously in he north of Finland Russinn
military property is being seized by
White guard attachments operating in
agreements with German landing de
tachnaents and under direct instruction
from the German general staff.
IN order to fulfill the Bres treaty,
winch is the legal basis for the reia-
tons between Germany ana Russia,
the soviet government ha: officially
declared it's readiness TO open imsne-
date negotiations With the Ekrainian
central tIul. No 3nCNar Nny-cI-n1-

is now directed by Germany.

"Ihe German government i1avi.e
likewise proposed the question of II

answer to our offer to open peace
negotiations. Instead of this the adj
vance of German-Ekrainian troops
against Russia continues, as has al
ready been pointed out.
lowing to such circumstances the
soviet government considers itself com
PEELED to mobilize all necessary forces
in order to secure the freedom and in
dependence of the Russian republic
which is now menaced beyond the
limits established by the Brest treaty.
1t is evident that such u state of things
cannot continue for long. Tho soviet
