He described to the committee his
visit TO Trotsky's office after the Ker-
ensky government had fallen. He said
that a Russian captain was standing
at Trotsky's desk and Immediately be-
gan to deneuaee him as a supporter of
kerensky and an opponent of the boil
sheyiki
Il told my interpreter to tell the COM
missioner" said MI. Robins that /
knew a corpse when l saw it. that che
thing to do was to bury 1t and not TO
prefer to say that I had been in oppo-
sition to the bolsheviki: that did not
believe in their world wide revolution.
Then l told the Interpreter to ask
Trotsky whether he wanted the
American Red Cross to stay in Russia.
From that time On l never had any
misunderstanding with Trotsky.
Says Lenin Realized Troubles.
Mr.. Robins said that Lenine and
Trotsky realized the economic diff
culties that existed in Russia. The
only thing they really feared, he said,
was that they would not be able to
deceive the people If this came about,
~
ment could not stand. He said they
began to talk to the Americans about
obtaining economic assistance from
the United States, although they were
opposed to the United States and
hoped that their social revelation
would finally spread to this country.
He said that Trotsky told him
when 1t came to treating with Ger
many for peace that the Russian revo-
lutionists offered the whole world
peace. It was his intention. Trotsky
told Mr.. Robins. to prolong the peace
conference at Brest- -Litovsk as long
as possible SO as to stir up the
brothers" in Germany, France, Great
Britain, America and the other coun-
tries He said that Trotsky admitted
that they would finally have to make
peace with Germany, but that in the
meantime he hoped to promote the
cause of the world revolution.
Mr.. Robins told the committee that
Trotsky was a gifted orator with
power to sway masses Of men such
as he had never seen in another. He
added that TrotslSy had the ex-
treme ego of the primadonna and
always wanted to be in the lime
light
Mr Robins told the committee that
when he suggested that the American
representatives Cooperate with Trot-
sky to prevent raw materials getting
into Germany, Gen. William B. JUDI
son, the head of the American military
mission, wanted to act and deal with
Trotsky.
Because he went to see Trotsky
to prevent. If he could, raw materials
getting to Germany, Gen. Judson was
recalled to this country" said Mr..
Robins.

Russia's Wars on Persia.

In the eighteenth century after
Russia became a neighbor of Persia
through obtaining territory in the
Caucasus Russia's eyes looked
further, and saw in a large section
of Persia valuable adiuncts to the
Russian empire. pretexts were found
for two different wars upon Persia
which Russia won. and through
which valuable sections Of Persian
territory fell TO the SlaV After the
treaty of Turkomantchay in 1925
Russia placed such a heavy yoke upon
the Persian peoples that Industries
were reduced to state of impotency
and such natural resources as the
country afforded were exploited
strictly in Russian interest
Great Britain having interests in
Persia naturally became extremely
interested in the encreachments of
the northern Slavs. and constantly
during a period of almost a century
these two countries were in constant
conflict over economic and CONNER
ciai conditions throughout Persia In
1901. however, an Anglo Russian cor
vention was arrived at and actual
spheres of influence" for the two
powers were specifically agreed on
the northern and large part OF the
central portions going to Russia. Be

This came TO international attention
when Morgan Shuster the American,

order in 1911. The Russians, desirous
that there be no settled order of
things in Persia and that their series
OF explorations might continue, sent
demands to the Teheran government

Regarding the reception of
men discharged from the service,
your attention is called to a
phase of the matter which can
be very easily overlooked, The
individual man returning feels
that he is entitled to some sort
Of a celebration. We suggest
that some informal procedure
should be worked out in each
community 50 that very human
feeling on the part Of the return
ing soldier will be gratifed and
his morale sustained at a time
when his REIMBURSEMENT tocivilian
conditions may cause an undesir-
able mental reaction.
We suggest particularly that
The task of providing 4 reception
for returning soldiers and sailors
Immediately or shortly after
their return could be very well
handled by the many groups that
ire found in every community;
each group arranging for an in
formal reception Of some kind
for the man IN whom they have
apecnliar interest, The function
Of the general community organ
I2ation is to see that the need OF
this sort of thing is brought to
the attention of all interested.
Therefore, we urge upon every
county chairman to see that
every man returning from serv-
ice will be given some proper
celebration fitting his return.
Very truly yours,
Rutledge Smith. :
Chairman & Field Secretary.
