Russia was the great unknown guam
tity in world affairs when the peace
conference started it's session In Paris.
Was the giant of nations, with It's loO'-
100000 people, rotten to the core Win
the anarchistic doctrines of the boil
shevists, or was there sound fabric
in the gigantic ex-autocracy on Whlch
a future state government could De
built?
Among the American members of the
peace delegation the belief was held
that Russia was not entirely corrupted
with the teachings of Lenine and Trot-
zky, the bolshevik leaders. 1t was be-
lieved that Petrograd ahd Moscow, the
large cities of Russia, were the worst
centers of anarchism, but that the
great public of Russia we're fast tir-
ing of a regime that gave them only
promises and withheld food and put
Industry into q state of stagnation.
There were 25 other political groups
In Russia that opposed Lenine and
Trotzky, and from these cliques 1t
was hoped that some program could be
developed to the satisfaction of Rus
sla's people, as well as the peace con-
ference, a program that would rejuve'
nate Russia and be the means Of end
ing the so-called bolshevik government
In Petrograd that was endeavoring to
sway, not only Russia, but the whole
world as we'll.
Declare War on Humanity.
For Lenine and Trotzky, with their
immediate followers, had declared war
on humanity; had openly announced
It was their intention to send bolshe-
vik missionaries to all civilized ma
tions to preach fair words and II pos
sible introduce reigns Of terror In oil
the civilized nations. This threat was
not taken too seriously by the allied
peace delegation in Paris. But it was
admitted that preachment Of ultrarad-
ical doctrines during the trying period
of world rehabilitation was an extra
evil that should be discouraged. No
added burden should be placed on a
world endeavoring to return to the
ways of peace, particularly when 1t
was definitely known that the bolshe'
yik doctrines, as preached, were en-
tirely different from the same maxims
as practiced. Russia's plight was the
outcome of admitting bolshevik mis-
sionaries, bringing ruin for Russia and
enrichment to Lenine and Trotzky and
their immediate followers.
Before the war had actually ended
the bolshevik missionaries were start
ing on their errands Of "education."
Amply provided with gold or securi-
ties dozens of these revolutionaries
were apprehended when endeavoring
to pass frontiers leading into allied
territory.
Men attached to the American peace
delegation in Paris were familiar with
the workings of the bolshevik ma
chine. Our officials had fairly adequate
reports on what was taking place In
Russia, especially in Petrograd and
Moscow, and after watching the boil
shevlk regime for more than a year
knew that there was only one method
by which the bolsheviki could perpet-
uate their existence. That was Dy
spreading revolution and not by con-
ducting a government, for as admin
istrators of government the bolsheviki
had proven their utter incapacity.
Brought Ruin to Russia.
They had brought rank ruin to Rus
sia, but money into their own coners.
They saw more money for themselves
in introducing their doctrines into for
eign lands. They, in short, had made
a paying business Of revolution.
AS for Russia. the methods adopted
by the Lenine-Trotzky crowd were IN
f1nitely worse in tyranny and autoc-
racy than anything officials Of the car
had ever inflicted on the long.suhering
population.
Starvation was made into a weapon
BY which converts were created for the
bolshevik cause. The food supply OF
Petrograd and Moscow was systemat-
ically limited, curtailed until people
who did not openly support Lenine
and Trotzky. or work in the so-called
state factories, or join the Red Guard
in its bloody atrocities, were actually
starved to death, but to the Red Guard,
and men and women working for the
bolshevik autocrats, food and money
were supplied in some abundance.
Information concerning Petrograd
usually came to Paris, and TO the
American peace delegation, from Amer
leans of Russian descent who man
aged to escape from Russia. The
stories these Russian-Americans told
surpassed stories Of the French revo-
luton in 1893, and that revolution, un.
til 1919. was the high-water mark In
bloody episodes Of modern times.
