Letters From the People

Il have noticed that Kerensky Is in
the United States for the purpose OF
getting aid for Russia In reorgan-
izatiof scheme. Now, I would like
to say few words along this line.
kerensky is not able further to
| assume leadership My advice to the
| allies would be not to build any hope
on 'Kerensky; he is sincere, but his
mistakes have made Russia what
1t Is today.
We all know that Kerensky, for
mer premier OF the Russian govern
ment, hpd the best opportunity the
leader of n nation ever had to unite
and organize the Russian nation and
to lead them with an Iron hand to
fighting tho Germans, but he did not
do IT, although he was In favor OF
fighting. Why7
Although loved by his people,
when Kerensky. at the start of his
regime. could not forsee the tragic
consequences OF the agitation and
car.paign conducted by Trotzky and
b1nine in building the opposition to
Kerensky's government, he made the
fatal mistake.
Kerensky could very easily have
EulltI Ilu Ol tutlI ullufllNs ny
abolishing the leaders, Trotzky and
Lenine. but the three had always
been friends, and Kerensky did not
have enough backbone TO cut off
friendship with them at once.
He let matters run along until the
Bolshevikl, under the leadership of
Trotzky and Lenlne. got so strong
that, in order to save his own hide,
Kerensky had TO escape from his
country at midnight.
Why did he not stay in his own
country and fight the Bolsheviki2 ?
The Bolsheviki are handing Russia
over TO the German empire.
The United states is extending a
hearty welcome to kerensky. but we
do not feel like handing him any
leadership in his proposed campaign,
as we have more reliable man
right in this country for that job.
There Is no use to build, air-castles,
hut the proposition must be gotten
at from a standpoint OF common
sense
