600 Allied soldiers the work Of inter
ventiop iu Russia could be completed in
three months.
Moscow could be taken and a stable
government established
In the BED Guard army OF 100000
men only 10000 are real soldiers who
can fight.
There would be no serious bloodshed
The masses would look on at war be-
tween the Red Guards and the forces OF
Intervention and willingly accept new
government
The Russian peasant favOrs mon
archy. He has not been taught demoo-
racy.
These are the opinions OF Constan-
tine Greaves, former chamberlain Of
the court OF Russia, but who declares
he Is a moderate Socialist
I had a two-hour interview with him
concerning the situation in Russia.
Gresves was born TO the titled no
bility. He is former owner OF q plan
tation Of 1000 acres south OF Moscow.
He has been memebr OF the Russian
Dums and is considered a leading writ
er and authority on "the Bolshevik
menace"
.''The Bolsheviki say: Let us turn
the world upside down and see how 10
Will go that way They must eventu-
ally fail, even II the civilized world
permits them to do what they please
But ihere Is great danger that they
may spread their doctrines from Rus
sis and threaten all other nations, says
Greaves.
I am Socialist myself. you under
stand but a moderate Socialist / be-
long TO the centrum, which Is not Boil
shevik and not monarchist. am
cadet, or constitutional democrat. You
know Milyukov In America am with
NiIyukov.
we must have Intervention In Rus
sis. believe you Americans exag-
gerate the requisites Of an Intervention.
There are already enough soldiers In
the field against the Bosheviki 50 that
very few troops are needed from the Al
lies and from America. But those few
are seriously needed now.
with 100000 soldiers from the Al
lies and America, the work OF inter-
veptlon could be completed IN three
months. In that time Moscow could
be taken and a stable government es-
tablished, and there would be order
again in Russia.
I'VE know the railroads are In excel
lent condition In the Ukraine. The
Transport Of troops for Intervention
could be made successfully across
Ukraine territory TO within a short dis
tance Of Moscow.
At the present time, the Red Guard
army. we are reliably informed, num-
bers a little over 100000 men. But we
also know that only about 100000 are
real soldiers who could fight.
lis objected that there would be
a pScessity for mass executions and
the Imprisonment Of large numbers OF
people for a successful Intervention, as
was the case with the Germans In Fin
land This would not apply to Rus
sia. There would be no massacres or
serious bloodshed. know the Russian
people The masses OF them would
stand by and look on at the war be-
tween the Red Guards and the interven-
ing army. They know that The Bolshe-
vlks are only a small minority, and
they would willingly accept the new
government which would be estab-
ished
ITO be perfectly frank, what the Rus
sian peasant wants is a monarchy lie
has been told ell his life that the Gar
ruled from God. and that the business
OF government belongs TO God. lie can
not understand how he himself-lvan
the peasont-should be the government.
lie Is not like the French peasant, nor
the English or American workingnen.
Ills religion and schools have never
taught democracy TO him. Il is his ma
ture to favor a monarchy"
Discussing the interallled conference
recently ended in London. Greaves
says:
II have direct information from the
interallied conference in London. Their
iirst action was 20 decide unanimously
on Intervention. The remainder Of
their time was spent in trying to de-
eide what each one should get as COM
pensation for Intervention.
