U S. NOTE TO PEOPLE OF RUSSIA AND DECLARES AGAINST E TAKE TO BRING PEACEFUL SOLUTION OF
 

 foreign policy by a loyal friendship for Russia. We are unwilling that, while it is helpless in the grip Of non representative government, whose only sanction is brutal force, Russia shall we weakened still further by policy of dismemberment, conceived in other than Russian interests.
 No Soviet Recognition
 with the desire of the allied
 powers to bring about a peaceful
 solution of the existing difficulties
 in Europe, this government, is, or
 course, m hearty accord. and will
 support any justifiabIe steps to
 that end. 1t is unable to perceive
 however, that a recognition of the
 soviet regime would promose, much
 less accomplish, this object, and 1t
 is, therefore, averse to any deai-
 ings with the soviet regime beyond
 the most narrow boundaries to
 which discussion of an armistics
 can be confined.
 That the present rulers of Russia do not rule by the will or the consent of any considerable proportion of the Russian people is an incontestable fact. Although nearly two and a half years have passed since they seized the ma,- chinery of government promising to protect the constituent assembly against alleged conspiracies against it,
  in the nature of a popular election. At the moment when the work of creat- ing a popular representative govern ment based upon universal suffrage was nearing completion, the bolsheviki although in number an inconsiderable minority of the people by force and cunning seized the powers and ma- chinery of the government and have continued to use them with savage oppression to maintain themselves in power
 Will Act When Time Comes
 Without any desire to interfere in the internal affairs of the Russian people. or to suggest what kind of government they should have, the gov ernment of the United States does express the hope that they soon will find a way to set up a government representing their free win and pur- pose. When that time comes, the Unit ed States will consider the measures of practical assistance which can be taken to promote the restoration of Russia, provided Russia has not taken itself wholly out of the pale of the friendly interest of other natons, by the pillage and oppression of the Poles
 Soviets Not Reliable
 Tt is not possible for the govern ment of the United States to recognize the present rulers of Russia as a gov : ernment with which the relations com mon to friendly governments can be maintained. This conviction has noth- ing to do with any particular political or social structure which the Russian people themselves may see fit to em- brace. It rests upon a wholly differ ent set of facts. These facts. which none disputes, have convinced the government of the United States against it's will that the existing re kviT in iS hac hn gation of every principle of honor and good faith, and every usage and con- vention underlying the whole struc- ture of international law: the mega tion in short of every principle upon which it is possible to base harmoni- ous and trustful relations, whether ot nations or of individuals. The re- sponsible leaders of the regime have frequently and openly boasteos that they are willing to sign agreements and undertakings with foreign powers while not having the slightest inten- | tion of observing such undertakings oI carrying out such agreements. This attitude of disregard of obligations voluntarily entered into, they base upoT the theory that no compact or agree ment made with an -bolshevis1 government can have any moral for | them They not only avowed this as doctrine, but have exemplified in prac- tice. Indeed. upon numerous occasions | the responsible spokeSmen of thi: power, and it's official agencies, hav, declared that it is their understand 1 ing that the very existence of bolshe vism in Russia, the maintenance O their own rule, depends, and must con. tinue to depend, upon the occurrence of revolutionists in all other grea civilized nations, including the United States which will overthrow and de stroy their government and set up bol- ' ch To fr1% I,0S,- made it plain that they intend to ust levery means, including. of course. dip ilomatic agencies, to promote such rev, olutionary movements in other coun tries.
 Reds Seeking World Ruin l "it IS true that they have in Vari ous ways expressed their willingness to give 'assuranees' and 'guarantees that they will not abuse the privilege and immunities of diplomatic agencie by using them for this purpose. Il view of their own declarations, aIread antees cannot be very seriously re garded. Moreover, it is within tn knowledge of the government of tn United States that the bolsheVist gov ernment is itsef subject to the con troI of political faction with exten sive international ramifications throug the Third InternationaIe, and that thi body, which is heavily subsidized b the bolsheVist government from tn public revenues of Russia, has for it openly avowed aim the the promotio of bolshevist revolutions throughou the world.
 The leaders of the bolsheviki hay boasted that their promise of non in terference with other nations would i no wise bind the agents of this body There is no room for reasonable doub that such agents would receive tn support and protection of any diplo matic agency the bolsheviki migh have in other countries. Inevitably i thtrefore, the diplomatic service of tn bolshevist government would becom a channel for intrigues and the prop . aganda of revolt against the rnstitu (Continued on page 9
