Used at that time, bread, peace and
socialism. What have they given ?
Hunger, war and tyranny"
Not a Capitalist Attack.
When an ordinary paper points
out to the fact that. in spite of all
their promises, the bolsheviki have
given Russia, during the three
years of their rule, but hunger, war
and tyranny, this assertion, al
though supported by indisputable
evidence, is unusually met by the
bolsheviki and their sympathizers
with the well-known objection
against the propaganda of the
capitalist press"
VOLTA Rossii' is not a capital
list" papeE 1t is paper published
by the leaders of the most influen-
tial Russian socialist party, the
party that had majority in the
All-Russian constituent assembly.
Therefore, the conclusions of this
publication as to the results Of the
three years of bolshevist rule in
Russia are of great interest and i'm
portance and they are as follows:
What BOlshevism Has Accom-
plished.
In 1911 the mortality rate per
1000 was 81, but in 1875. The
birth rate has dropped from 20
per 1000, to 10. Five children are
dying in Moscow every month for
lack of food. The enfeebled pop
ulation becomes the prey of dis
ease and epidemics. Within two
months of 1919, 242.115 persons
We're stricken with typhoid fever
in Petrograd alone.
I'm the cities the population is
getting one-fourth pound of bread
mixed with straw per day. In the
country, out of fear for bolshevist
acquisitions, they are curtailing cul-
tivation and concealing the grain.
Hunger not only does not cease,
but increases each day. A new ter
rible winter threatens town and
country.
1.-THE soviet power intended to
store in European Russia in 1920,
224, 100000 pools of grain. but
succeeded in storing only 5000. 900.
1t intended to store $4,000, 600
pools of potatoes, but stored only
100000. CA "pood" is SO
pounds)
Reign of Cold and Destitution.
IT. hunger there is added cold.
There is nc fuel. In the cities trey
are burning furniture, fences and
wooden houses. There is ,we!ve
less ruel stored than is necessary.
The people are freezing. There are
no articles of food. nor clothing,
nor textiles. There is no footwear
nor other apparel. A suit of clothes
in Russia costs $4,000 rubles. One
pair Of boots is furnished to one out
of five persons in a year in the
cities. In the country this is not to
be had
Warfare does not cease. The
Brest-Litovsk treaty. giving to the
Germans Esthonia Latvia, Lithuan-
ia White Russia, the Ukraine, and
10 the Turks the whole of Trans
Caucasia, did not bring peace to
Russia. The soviet power fought
during these three years against
Finland, Latvia, Esthonia. the
Ukraine, Turkey, Poland. Armenia,
and Siberia. The north fought the
the south, brother went against
brother. Along the most remote
borders of Russia, at the frontiers
of Persia. Afganistan, India and
Asia Minor, everywhere the bolshe-
Wiki have kindled the fires of war.
Hundreds of thousands of killed,
wounded, MANNED, such are the re-
suits of the peace policy of the
bolsheviki.
"Mobilizations are incessant.
Millions of people are in arms. In
human discipline has been estab-
lished. Militarism rules in the So
Wet republic. Ever new and new
wars are threatening the people.
