Washington, D, c., Sept. IA. =
The committee on public informa-
ton releases for publication here
with series Of communications be-
tween the German imperial govern
ment and the Russia bolshevik gov
ern, and between the bolsheviki
themselves, and also the report
thereon made to George Creel by
Edgar Sissons, the committees spe-
cial representative in Russian during
the winter of 1918.
These documents show that the
present heads of the bolshevik gov
ernment-Lenine and Trotzky and
their associates-are German agents.
They show that the bolshevik
revolution was arranged for by the
Gereman great general staff and
financed by the German imperial
bank and other financial institutions.
They show that the treaty of
Brest-Litovsk was betrayal of the
Russian people by the German
agents, Lenin and Trotzky; that a
German-picked commander was
chosen to defend" Petrograd
<sainst the Germans: that German
81 Ulcers have been secretly received
ny si2e bolshevik government as mil
itary advisors, as spies upon the en-
bassies of Russia's allies, as officers
in the Russian army, and as direc-
tors of the bolshevik military, for
eign and domestic policy.
Even Betrayed Russian People.
They show, in short, that the pres
ent bolshevik government is not a
Russian government at all, but
German government, acting solely
in the interests of Germany and be
traying the Russian people, as it be-
trays Russia's natural allies for the
benefit of the German imperial gov
ernment alone.
And they show also that the boil
shevik leaders, for the same Ger
man imperial ends, have equally be-
trayed the working classes of Rus
sa, whom they pretend TO repre-
sent.
The documents are 20 in number
Many of the originals are annotated
by bolshevik officials. The balance
OF the others are photographs OF or
iginals showing annotations and
corroborate third set OF typewrit-
ten circulars, of which only two
originals are possessed. but all OF
which fit perfectly into the whole
pattern of German intrigue and Ger
man guilt. :
