INTERVENTION I E
IN RUSSIA Is !
OBJECTED TO
BY R. ROBINS
Declares it is Unfair to Rus.
slams and Unwise For
!. Allies.

a-frs"t - t.#". .HE#r HH. rEN.lisE I.lrts 81
Washington. March L-1nterven-
ton in Russia, was condemned by
Raymond Robins, former head Of the
American Red Cross mission in that
country. testifying, today before the
senate committee investigating propa-
ganda, as unfair to the Russians and
unwise from the standpoint Of the
United States and the Allies.
Mr.. Robins said American soldiers,
and munitions should not be used to
crush a revolution, which he said,
represented the wishes Of the Russian
people.
He declared, it was his opinion that
Intervention would solidify Russian
factions in support Of the Bolshevik
government, strengthen Bolshevik
tendencies in England and France
and materially assist in laying a
groundwork for the spread OF radical
doctrines in this country.
Recognition OF the Bolshevik gov
eminent of Russia was advised
against, but the witness repeated that
If the Russians wanted Bolshevism
they should have it.; and he gave it
want it. At the same time he re-
iterated his belief that Bolshevism
constituted the greatest menace that
had ever threatened the democratic
governments of the world
Mr.. Robins denied statements by
previous witnesses that Russian
peasants had no arms and were un-
able to overthrow Lenine and Trotzky.
AS a matter Of fact, he said,t there
were 1 $4,000, 900 rifles available in
Russia and many of the communities
and towns possessed machine guns.
Responding to questions by Senator
Nelson, the witness said he agreed
that Intervention should be resorted
to if it was true that thousands were
being slaughtered in a Bolshevik
The. witness thought the Russian
people could get rid of Lenine and
Trotzky at any time they desired. He
denied that the Bolsheviks had
treacherously attacked the .Cecho-
Slovak forces after the latter had
been disarmed. He said the conflict
grew out OF designs which have not
been laid upon the table," and in this
connection declared that he knew
that France had tried to keep the
Czecho-Slovaks in Russia after offer
ing to assist in getting them out, as
a means of overthrowing the srevolu-
ton "at any cost" He charged that
the. Czecho-Slovaks took Bolshevist
villages and shot some Bolshevikf
without trials, adding that in a great
struggle where passions ran more or
less wild, excuses might be expected.
