RAYMOND ROBINS
ISSUES PLEA FOR RUSSIA

Philadelphia May 3-An appeal to
the American people and the Allied
nations to take a more liberal view
of Russia. was made by Colonel Ray
mond Robins. who was a member of
the American Red Cross commission
in Russia, in an address at the Am
erican Academy of Political and So
cial Science today. He made the fol-
lowing recommendations:
Lift the embargo on all Russian
fronts; enter into direct negotiations
for an armistice on all fronts where
Allied or Czech forces are engaged:
insist on armistice negotiations upon
general political amnesty to be de-
clared and guaranteed by both sides,
Allied forces to be retained in Russia
solely for the pupose of forcing such
guarantees and to be used after sign
ing of armistice in re-organizing and
operating Russian railways primarily
for transport of food supplies through
Russia; send relief through American
Red Cross to Petrograd and Moscow
Immediately upon signing of armis-
tice and send commission of inquiry
with INDUSTRIAL anu tIdue experts 10
Moscow to ascertain and report on
present situation in soviet Russia and
best means of bringing social peace.
economic reorganization and relief
to all the people in Russia.
Mr.. Robins declared conditions in
Europe may be repeated in the United
States unless there is free speech
and a free press" He said this
country must come to realize that
ideas may not be successfully op-
posed by bayonets." His remarks
were echoed by Thomas D. Thatcher,
another member of the Red Cross
mission which visited Russia. He
said Bolshevism cannot prevail in
America unless the Government by
opposing free speech creates situa-
tion where the radicals appear in the
role of martyrs. He declared the only
real power in the Russian government
is the soviet. This is not Bolshevism.
The soviet is SO near the old village
system in government that the peas
ants are adopting it readily.
