[I}NOTE MAKES PLEA FOR RUS
| s|A BELIEVES IN A FREE POLAND
|,rT Not Recognize The Soviet Reign and De-
nounces The Whole Bolshevik
Outfit
MUST THROW OFF BOL LSHEVIK

derly government We regard
the power Of Russia as being mere
ly in allegiance" at present and
we hold that she must have a part i
III the settlement Of boundries
which effect her domain.
But the note adds, we do not
believe +he. +ho welfare Of he
Russian people can be fostered by
any recognition Of the present So
Wet regime. The whole bolshevik
ooutfit is denounced in clean-cut
terms. The bolsheviks are small
minority who cotrive to gain con-
troll by force and trickery and
who after being in power nearly
two and half years and after
promising popular government
have refused to allow anything
IN the nature Of a popular cleo
tion' and have ruled solely by
violence.
While not intending to sugges,
to the Russian people how they
should manage their internal al
fairs, the United States wants It
understood that nc -sessssnitien
can be given or any dealings had
with gang Of usurpers such as
are now in the saddle there. These
usurpers are condemned for carry.
ing on, with public funds, propa-
''ganda in this and other countries
for the purpose Of destroying our
present government and establish
ing bolshevist rule. Hence to rec
ognixe the Moscow outfit would
be to sanction lawlessenee and
perfidy and to offer "a channel
for intrigue and revolt. -
The note assures the Russian
people that when they throw off
the bolshevik yoke and asser,
themselves as a free people, this
country will extend recognition
and liberal aid to them in re-es
tablishing themselves as a nation
This program presumes that al
foreign troops shall be withdrawn
from Russian territory" (This is
; aimed against the Japanese oc
| cupation Of parts Of Siberia, and Il
. will Of course arouse the hostility
: Of Japan.) The Russians are also
assured by our government that
: the territory taken from Russia
, and made up into the string o1
r new border states reaching from
, the Baltic sea around to the Cas-
/ plan sea shall be restored the on
: ly exceptions are Poland, Finlane
. and Armenia, which are entitled
to be independent-but thef
! boundries must not be extended
p beyond a proper point.
t The Russian note is mos
) timely and vital manifesto it tell
n Russia that the United States 1
/ her friend-a friend in need an
n a friend indeed It tells the Rus
e slams that we, will not sanction
: their spoliation either by usurper
n within or near-emenies withou1
: It upholds the American doctrin
o of non-interferenee with othe
le peoples and carries out the Wi
re sonian idea that governments ar
D. nothing and peoples are every
i thing. It will bring down on u
"a the criticism Of some Of the ethe
le nations and factions and there 1
a. no telling how far-reaching tn
r results may be.

CITIZENSHIP DENIED
WAR STRIKERS

Now that the war is over and
there is DO danger that anybody
will be drafted into the army, al
lens who denied all relationship
with the United States when ASK
ed to fight are seeking to enter
the fold Of citizenship. They are
not finding it so easy as they ex-
pected, however, and many appl1-
cations are being held up. j. l..
Hurwitz, a business high school
graduate Of Washington, was re-
Gently refused citizenship because
he claimed exemption from war
service by reason Of his foreign
