c. F. Fabian, Here on Mission,

The real cause of Trotzky's rejection
Of the German peace terms is his sud

Mr.. Fabian declared that the Rus

"Whon left, the Boishevik movement
was growing, but it was not regarded
as important.
"Russia's future in the war depends
not upon the Bolsheviki, but upon the
mass OF the people. Russia is a great
family of mouj -peasants-and they
believe that the war is job that has
got to be finished and finished right.
Trotzky has only just realized this.
Hence his rejection of the German
terms.
