An Amazing Series of Official Documents, Pub.
shed by the American Government, Prov
ing Lenine and Trotzky Were
German Agents.

The committee on public information releases
for publication herewith series of communica-
lions between the German imperial government
and the Russian Bolsheviki government and be-
tween the BolsheViks themselves and also the
report thereon made to George Creel by Edgar
Sisson. the committees special representative in
Russia during the winter of 1917-18
These documents show that the present heads
of the BosheVik government-Lenine and TrotZ-
ky and their associates--are German agents.
They show that the BolsheVik revolution was
arranged for by the German great general staff
and financed by the German Imperial bank and
other German financial institutions.
They show that the treaty of Brest-Litovsk
was betrayal of the Russian people by the Ger
man agents, Lenine and Trotzky; that Ger
man-picked commander was chosen to defend"
Petrograd against the Germans; that German Of
ficers have been secretly received by the Boil
shevk government military advisers as spies
upon the embassies Of Russia's allies, officers
in the Russian army, and directors of the Boil
shevk military, foreign and domestic policy. They
show, in short that the present Bolshevik gov
eminent is not a Russian government at ALL but
a German government acting solely in the inter
ests of Germany and betraying the Russian peo-
pie. it betrays Russia's natural allies, for the
benefit of the imperial German government alone.
And they show also that the Bolshevik leaders,
for the same German imperial ends have equally
betrayed the working classes of Russia, whom
they pretend to represent.
