The Case Against the Bolsheviki
An Amazing Series of Official Documents, Pub
lished by the American Government, Prov

THE PLOT FOR A SHAMEFUL PEACE.

Germany made it's Russian peace with its own
puppet government, the miSnamed council OF
Peoples Commissars the president Of which is
Vladimir Ulianov (Lenin), the foreign minister Of
which was Leon Trotsky and the ambassador of
which to Germany Is A. Joffe Germany made
this peace harder upon the Russian people az
punishment to the ambition of its tools In seek
ing to become too powerful and in hoping Tor
little while not only that Russia would be dev-
cred over to them, but that they could double
cross their masters byturning a simulated Ger
man revolution into real one.
But their craftiness was toy in the hands of
rough German force. Germany was actually
double crossing them by negotiating with the
'Ukratnian Rada at the moment they dreamed
they trucking Germany. + .
Germany, however, did not discard the Boil
the German world campaign for internal disor-
ganzation in the nations with which it wars, but
confined them to the limited inland province
which Great Russia proper has now become.
Lenin, according to statements made public
as soon as Trotsky's spectacular device Of mo
peace-No war" failed, always for peace on
any German terms. He dominated the situation
thereafter and conceded everything that Ger
many asked. Nor did Trotsky cease to continue
to obey the German orders delivered to him both
by Cen Hoffman, at Brest- Litovsk and at Petro-
grad directly by the Russian division Of the Ger
man General Staff, which was seated in Petro-
grad itself from November, and which still
there in full operation when left, Monday
March 4, theeday that Petrograd received motif
ficaton that peace had been signed at Brest-
Litovsk by the Russian and German delegates.
Trotsky, therefore, rests rightly under the
accusation Of having staged. his theatrical scene
as a climax to the Russian disorganization de-
sired by Germany. The actual order he gave
was for the immediate demobilizatop Of the Rus
sian army, leaving the German army unop-
posed.
The actual effect of the work Of the Bolshevlk
leaders, moreover to enable Germany to
combine it's former army of the Russian front
with its western army for the launching Of it's
March offensive in France. Such has been the
Fruition of Russia's German directed Bolshevik-

peace:

MR.. EASTMAN EXPLAINS.

Individualistic Righteousness was all
that afflicted Mr.. Max Eastman when he
opposed the operation of the draft law, he
told the court during the trial now in
progress.
Some of Mr.. Eastmans "individualistic
Righteousness probably was dropped in
Fargo. We think he was less individual
istically rebellious when he left us than
when he arrived.
But his defense opens an enticing ave-
nue. for the criminal. What if the man who
commits murder, should tell the Judge he
did it when moved by a spirit of individ-
ualistic RIGHTEOUSNESS and argue that his
act was therefore justifiable or at least ex-
culsable.
We do not know that Mr.. Eastman adj
,vanced his unique plea in the nature of
defense or just an explanation. If we were
the jury we might be willing to accept it
as the latter, but scarcely as the former
Otherwise individualistic RIGHTEOUSNESS
might become endemic.

This Is known to be true because

Diphtheria germs are frequently
found in the throats of children
when no complaint is made, when
there is no fever and when no sign

The fact that all the symptoms of

THE ONE GREAT ISSUE.

Forgetting all other issues, If it were pos
sible to reach every voter in the state with
clear and logical explanation of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment removing
the limit to the state s bonded debt, The
Forum believes that Governor Frazier and
the men on the ticket with him who sup
port this amendment would be so decisively
beaten that they would be eliminated from
public life in North Dakota for all time.
The present debt limit is 100000. The
proposed amendment doesn't merely in
crease that sixty fold to $12,000,000 as so
many voters believe. 1t removes the limit
entirely, as careful reading of the amend
ment will show.
That gives the state administration
whether it is the present one or some future
administration-the right to place a mort
gage up to any amount on private property
of all kinds and use the money for any kind
of business enterprise they care to engage
in on behalf of the state.
State bonds are mortgages against the
private property in the state The bonds
are secured by the farms, the stock tho
implements and the personal property in
the state. The farmer who votes for the
proposed amendment, votes to give Mr..
Townley and the Socialists, right to place
an unlimited mortgage on his farm, stock
and buildings and use the money to buy
or build packing plants, newspapers, stores,
banks, or elevators.
Grant for the moment that Mr.. Town
ley and all his crew are all that their most
ardent supporters believe; that they are
honest, unselfish friends Of the farmer.
Even if such were the case, what farmer
would willingly give them an unlimited
mortgage on his property?
If the farmers of North Dakota want to
mortgage their property to engage in bust
ness enterprises, why not manage these en-
terprises themselves7
Why not raise the money by actual mort
cages, and then engage in cooperative en-
terprises, choosing their own managers7
Why raise the money by mortgaging the
FARMS and then turn it all over blindly
to "Comrade" Townley and Fellow
Worker" LIE Sueur to handle for them9
And Governor Frazier and the men on
the ticket with him must stand or fall with
these proposed amendments. They have
approved them; they are openly and ener-
getically supporting them still. Can men
who advocate such a financial policy for
the state, be trusted with control of the
state affairs2 How many men would
trust their own brothers with the power
of mortgaging to an unlimited amount,
their own farms and property

THE INTERNATIONAL. ARMY,

In our mental pictures of what will hap
pen latter the war" too many of us I'M
doubtedly take for granted a sudden ex-
odus from Europe of all the Allied armies.
Such will not be the case however.
A French officer recently stated that it
will be necessary to keep big interna-
tional army in Europe for ten years after
the war. This time limit may be open to
question, but there is no doubt but that
his main statement is correct. If the
League of Nations is, formed at the peace
table, and that is where President Will
son and Sir Arthur Balfour say it must be
formed, an adequate army must be main
tanned to enforce its decisions until the
world fof9ns the habit of accepting It's
orders unquestioned. Undoubtedly the
number of Americans required in this army
viii not be larger than the number who are
willing to remain abroad and those who de-
sire to return to their homes promptly,
probably viii be permitted to do so, but
this international army must be taken in
to consideration in considering problems
of readjustments when peace comes.
