WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.--The expressed
willingness OF the Paris conference 10
effect diplomatic relations with the Boil
shevik government In Russia was dis
cussed In the Senate to-day and sharp
criticism OF the action OF the allied con-
ferees was voiced by three Senators. two
OF whom, Myers (Mon.) and King
Senators and throughout the war were
sturdy adhercnts OF every policy enun-
ciated by the President.
The third Senator, Sherman tlll), ali
along has been one OF iie bitterest critics
OF the Presidents policies. particularly
Of his personal visit to Europe.
The Senatorial critics took the ground
that there never should be effected any
recognition OF the Bolsheviki as gov
eminent and denounced the Russian
Radicals vehemently.
II cannot reconcile myself II the mat
ter Is to be voted on in this body directly
or indirectly to the recognition of the
present BolshevIst Government in Rus
STA" said Senator Sherman. The Boil
shevist Government is admitted to be
goddess government as well as violent
one. They are only little in advance
Of the Socialists Of this country. There
is no thorough Socialist who admits any
religious obligations. Ho is purely q
materialist and teaches there is no here
after.
Condemns Forced Marriage.
THE town council Of Petrograd has de-
creed that all unmarried women between
IS and As years old shall be provided
with husbands selected by the council.
Their children are not to be allowed to
remain with the parents. but will be
taken over as wards Of the state. The
parents are to have no more concern
with them than the sire and dam OF
beasts of the field after their young have
been BORN
Senator King here interrupted to say
that such DEGREES we're to be expected
of Government founded on atheism
and deuunciation of God. and such a
Government as this is an enemy to all
forms Of law or progress of civilization.
and that is the kind OF Government we
are giving some recognition at this time
at the Paris Peace Conference. That
Is the Government that IL exciting the
interests Of Socialists, pac!fsts. traitors.
the enemies OF America in this country.
Any man who supports the Bolsheviki
IL an enemy to civilization and an eTr-
envy to our form OF Government The
American people unanimously should
6enol.ac. that form of Government,
in no possible way directly or indi-
rectly"
"Americhn Duty to Resist."
NO more important service can tie
rendered than TO awaken the people of
this country TO the Internal. venomous
allen doctrine that has planted itself in
our large cities" senator Sherman con-
tnued "lt IL atheistic and Goddess.
l believe it To be the sovereign duty of
every Armenian TO resist the estab-
ltshed relations that may be sought.
Great honor Is due the French for re-
fusing to admit the Boishesik repre-
sentatives, II they have unhappliy
yielded II was because of pressure be-
gun by the Chief Executive OF this coun-
try"
Senator Myers followed. saying that
he wanted 10 add his protest against
any sort OF recognition by the prevail
Ing powers OF the Soviet Government Of
Russia"
- am greatly surprised md disap-
Nolutcd that the Powers In conference at
Paris would consider entering into any
negotiations with these people or recog-
uze them in any way whatever" said
Mr Myers. THE Bolshev!ki are mur-
dcrCrs, thieves, assass.ns. rapists and
criminals % the worst type. They in
1OESe ana lrdH'lCe every Known FORM OF
cgim!nality and have invented some new
forms Of crime.
They are the worst criminals the
world has ever known worse even than
the Germans. They have abolished God :
they declared war on all churches and
religion; they have decreed free love
They have decreed that hereafter all
women VI Russia should be kept in com.
mon for the common use OF all men In
Russia and that all children are to be
raised ny the State just Ike a lot OF
cattle or pigs. No child In the future
Is 20 know who It's father Is. Such doc
trines to me are absolutely shocking, and
am greatly disappointed that the
Powers in conference have consented to
deal with tho Bolsheviki.
That act will bring JOY TO thee heart ~
every l. W. w. every anarchist, every
pro German, every enemy of organized
society within the United States. II will
be a violation of every principle for
which the United states and the Entente
Allies nave fought for in this war
