Russia is pOwerless to take any par.
in the impending conflict of allied and
German affairs In the Muran district,
according to the version OF recent

purpose" asserted Lenfne.
"'rhey have landed troops to pro-
tect the 'Murman coast. We had no
proper, forces to prevent this. The
German government demands that
they be disarmed, telling JUS that if
we cannot defend ourselves they will
carry on the war in our territory
Referring to the Ukraine, Lenine
claimed that the Germans were met
everywhere with desperate resistance.
"'To the Caucasus" Lenine points
out, "the Soviet sent inquiries regard.

Great Britain stands far higher than
that stupendous great power which
sold itself to the imperialists with Sc
Cret treaties.
I'VE cannot now conceal the fact
that we are in favor of defense We
wish to defend our socialistic father
land. For this we must have a pro-
letarian dictatorship"
