despotism and supporting lawless rule
which is destroying the foundations Of
Russian freedom and Russian power Of
resistance to the German enemy"
Biunder Made.
NJ. Gavronsky issued the following
statement at the Russian embassy:
The allies made a big blunder In re-
lation to revolutionary Russia. They
did not define their war aims clearly
during the time Of NJ. kerensky's gov
crnmcnt and thus they placed n pow
erful weapon in the hands Of the Boil
shcviki In their fight against the allies
as well as the Kerensky government
which always supported the war poll
cies Of the allies. Were 1t not for
this blnnder we would not be witness
Ing the unfortunate spectacle OF Rus
sia being drawn into an abyss of Boil
sheyikl rule, and an alleged represen-
tation Of Russia carrying on peace ne
gotiations. Another blunder must be
prevented at all costs. The allies
ought to base their policy in Russia on
their friends, not on their enemies, the
Bolsheviki."
