MESSAGE TO S0VIETS
BY PRESIDENT WILSON PLEDGES
AID TO RESTORE RUSSIA.
Full Sovereignty and Independence by
American Assistance In Driving
Out Teutonic Invaders.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. March 12.-On the eve
of the gathering at Moscow of the
Russian congress of sovicts. which is
to pass judgment on the German-made
peace accepted by the Bolsheyih at
Brest-Litovsk, President Wilson sent a
message OF sympathy to the Russian
people through the congress. with
pledge that the United States will
avail itself of every opportunity to
aid them in driving out autocracy and
restoring Russia to her place in the
world with complete sovereignty and
independence.
The United States now recognizes
no government in Russia, but the Pres
ident cabled his message to the Amer
lean consul at Moscow for delivery to
the congress, which Is made up Of sol
diers' and workmen's representatives
and speaks for at least considerable
part OF the Russian people.
Thus, in his first formal word to
Russia since the revolution-torn coun-
try, under the leadership OF the Boil
shsviki deserted the allied cause. the
President indicates the purpose of the
United States to disregard the hard
terms upon which the German and
Austrian war lords have promised
peace to the Russians, and to demand
an accounting upon very different
basis when victory at last shall be
achieved by America and the allies.
Following is the message:
oil ady Mt nf
meeting of the congress of the Soviets
to express the sincere sympathy which
the people of the United States feel
for the Russian people at this mo
ment, when the German power has
been thrust in to interrupt and turn
back the whole struggle for freedom
and substitute the wishes of Germany
for the purpose of the people of Rus
STA. Although the government of the
United States is. unhappily, not now
in a position to render the direct and
effective aid 1t would wish to render.
l beg to assure the people OF Russia
through the congress that 1t will avail
itself of every opportunity to secure
for Russia once more complete SOW
ereignty and independence in her own
affairs and full restoration to her
great role in the life of Europe and
the modern world The whole heart
of the people of the United States is
with the people of Russia in the at
tempt to free themselves forever from
autocratic government and become
the masters of their own life.
WOODROW WILSON"
The President. does not urge the
Soviets to reject the peace treaty.
though the delivery of his message at
this time may be interpreted as sug-
gesting such a course.
Coming at the time it does. the Pres
ident's message may serve to lessen
misgivings in Russia over the pro-
posed Intervention by Japan in 81
