FETRoGRAp, Marih S-Nicholai Leninc,
the Bolshevk Premier, In an article
against the Bolsheviki. who refused to
ratify the peace treaty negotiated at
Brest-Litovsk. asserts that the terms

The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-03-09

The announcement of the
Wolff Bureau, if true, has an i'm
portant bearing on the situation
in western Asia and possibly even
in India.
The peace terms forced upon
Russia at Brest-Litovsk took
away from Russia districts in the
Caucasian region through which
it would be possible for the Ger
manic allies to gain entrance
from the Black Sea or Turkey
into Persia. Passage through
Persia probably would meet with
only nominal opposition, while
still further advance into Afghan
istan would be possible.
