INTERVENTION IS
NOT right MOVE
Red Cross Expert Opposes Send
ing Armed Force to Russia

Washington, March 7.--Interven-
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 declared,
represented the wishes of the Rus
sian people.
Furthermore, he declared, it was
his opinion that intervention would
the Bolshevik government, strengthen
Bolshevik tendencies in England and
France and materially assist in laying
a ground work for the spread of radi
cal doctrines in this country.
Recognition of the Bolshevik gov
eminent of Russia was advised
against but the witness repeated that
If the Russians wanted BOlshevsm
they should have it; and he gave it
as his opinion that the Russians did
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 peas
ants had no arms and were unable to
overthrow Lenine and Trotzly.
AS a matter Of fact, he said, there
were 100000 available in Russia
and many of the communities and
towns possessed ma chine guns.
The witness said he agreed that in
PREVENTION should; be resOrted to if it
was true that thousands were b3t1G
slaughtered in a Bolshevik reign Of
terror, but he entered n plea against
such action being taken simply be-
cause there was 4 pre- udiCe and lack
OF understanding Of what he claimed
to be the actual conditions i'll Russia.
The witness thought the Russian
people could get rid of Lenine and
Trotzky at any time they desired.
Mr.. Robins emphatically denied
that the Bolshevists had treacher
ously attacked the Czecho-SloVak
forces after the latter had been dis
armed, He said the conflict grew out
Of designs which hav not been laid
upon the table" and in this Connec-
ton declared he know that France
had tried to keep the CzeCho-Slovaks

his coming is different in various

he is called Santa Claus and in others
Kris Kringle. and in others Father
Christmas, or Saint Nicholas. in others
Bonhomme Noel, while in still others
Knecht Globes. he is really in all
lands and in all languages the same
spirit of good doing and loving kind
ness. Saint Nicholas is not a person.

was real man named Nicholas who
was very, rich and who had fine pos
sessions, but he was not happy. The
sight>of poor and suffering people sad
deped him and he decided that only
by giving comfort to others could he
hope to know true happiness himself
In the night. when the townsfolk were
in bed he went from house to house
in the poor neighborhoods and left
upon the window-sill gifts that would
enable the poor to buy for themselves
warm clothing and good food: and all
these gifts he gave in secret so no
one would know whom to thank and
no one could trace the source of the
blessings. But the doer of good deeds
is always discovered and one night
