for an armistice on all fronts; insisting
in that armistce on general political
amnesty; the sending of relief to Mos
COW and Petrograd as soon as the ar
mistice was signed, and the sending
of commission of inquiry to Moscow
to investigate and report conditions in
soviet Russia.
In his address earlier in the day
Colonel Robins had told of conditions
in Russia as he had found them when
he headed the American Red Cross mis-
sion there.
Blow at Conservatives
Colonel Robins more than hinted that
many of the stories the world has heard
about the atrocities Of the Russian
revolution were untrue, and dissent
mated by propagandists representing the
old regime.
He explained that he had enjoyed
unusual opportunities of learning the
real state of affairs in Russia, having
known Kerensky and his ministry and
later having been the intermediary be-
tween Lenine and Trotzky and the
American government.
For six months, Colonel Robins said
he had been in the habit Of seeing these
two leaders of the soviet government on
an average of three times n week, and
that all communications between the
soviets and the American authorities
had passed through his hands.
Gauntlet Thrown Down
"The forces that spring from the
Russian revolution" said Colonel Rob
ins, will be challenging the entire
western world for many years" HI
explained that there were two ways
of getting information concerning Rus
sia-"one from the indoor. palace and
tea table, per cent" and the othe
from the outdoor original, 90 pc
cent" He explained that the 7 pc
cent represented the old czaristic an,
conservative element; that they had car
ried on a campaign of misrepresentation,
in the capitals of the world, and eve,
in Russia itself.
