Traitors

While certain American newspapers
and public men were holding up the
Bolsheviki leaders as world characters
and patriots, the Review in its simple
and humble way was lambasting these
cheap traitors and branding them as
Mere paid agents of the kaiser and ennis
saries from Potsdam. Now comes Ralph
Easley, chairman of the executive COM
mittee Of the National Civic Federation
of New York and denounces these men
and newspapers for ionizing cheap
traitors, and he brings forth the proofs
that Lenine and Trotsl<y financed their
revolution against Kerensky with Ger
man gold and carried it out under the
direction of the German general staff
No reasonable or thoughtful man had
ever doubted it The anxiety of these
agitators to conclude a separate peace
with an autccratic power and thus desert
their democratic allies alone showed that
these Bolsheviki revolutionists were not
acting in good faith or living up to their
own ideals as mouthed and shouted from
the housetops of Russia.
Mr.. Easley declares, most truly and
well, that the Bolsheviki is nothing more
or less than the |. W. W. of Russia. The
same means and the same methods and
the same policeman leaning Efforts
have been made misguided men to have
this Lenine government recognized by
the United States. There could be no
more foolish or dangerous action than
this Lenine has repudiated his debt to
this nation of some three hundred mil
lions. He has done the allied cause more
harm than any other one man III the
entire world. He has prolonged the war
at least a year. He has betrayed his
country. He has earned his pay. AND,
he will go to his reward
1t is inconceivable, this Bolsheviki
propaganda, advocated in this country
by men who should surely know better.
By their deeds shall We know them. In
spite of all that may be said or claimed
these Bolsheviki have acted and worked
all along for the kaiser. They destroyed
Russia's armies and now the Germans
are sweeping forward across that coun-
try to enslave it even as Belgium was
enslaved and to sieze its food supplies
and materials with which to prosecute
the war
The Russian situation is not only
hopeless, it will get worse That is worse
for the allied cause Russian soldiers
may yet bear arms against American
soldiers 1t is not impossible in the light
Of present fast Fastening events. Ameri-
can business men who pretend to still
believe in Russia or who still wilfully
blind themselves to the menace of the
steady and unchanging policy of the un-
speakable Trotsky and Lenine are serv-
ing their countrys interests an i'll turn.
The only ray of hope for the allied
cause in the east is the military power
of Japan. IF the Jap strikes al once and
in full force from the Siberian door part
of Trotskys plotting viii have been in
vain and the dividends upon the German
gold in Russia will be reduced
And if the socialists can gain crumb
Of comfort from the actions Of these enc
mics of the allied cause in Russia, they
are welcome. Scheidermann, socialist
leader of Germany, is now named as the
go-between from Potsdam banks to
Petrograd hands
All the foolish babblings that went
on during the Brest-Litovsk peace nego-
tiations regarding the patriotism of
Trotsky must now leave bad taste in
the mouths of these babblers. Trotsky
merely saved his face The monkey
came through when his master ierked
