revolution. Not only the toilinr
masses but also all other sections Of
the Russian people still capable Of
living and creative work are realizing
more and more that only the honest,
actual return to the covenant Of the
March revolution, that only a struggle
against the oppressors in the name
OF the liberation of the people can
save our motherland.
likewise is it undeniable that in
order TO achieve victory over the mis-
rule OF the Bolsheviki it is not suf-
ilclent to be merely permeated with
hatred for Bolshevism and love of
country. 1t is necessary to create a
unity of basic social political aims
and, above all. to create a close bond
between ourselves and the people. the
great masses Of peasants and work

Would Put Russia in Rightful Place
From the Red and White reaction
back to the ideals of the March revo-
luton. From absolutsm to the rule
OF the people! From violence and
bloodshed to right and humanism!
FROM slavery to social justice Oulv
in the struggle for the realization of
these AIMS is it possible to rcsurrect
place which of right belongs to her
among the peoples of the earth.
I'VE cannot say here, far from
Russia, how and when the revolution
ary struggle of the people in Russia
TOR the realization Of these aims
against those who recognize only the
might of bayonets will begin. But we
can, we must do all we can to make
heard the independent voice Of Russia
IN the defense of the honor, the self
respect, the interests and the patri-
mony of the Russian land.
Bolshevism and the system of mill
tary dictatorship have made and are
making possible the violation of the
lltc interests Of the Russian state.
Ihls must end. Eepublican, Demo
cratic Russia, to which the March
revolution gave birth, must speak
again: But while this Russia is de-
prived of organs of state, it can be rep
resented abroad only by the members
OF the all-Russian Constituent AS
sembly. 1t is their duty to rise in
the defense of Russia, for the people
themselves in electng them have
placed upon their shoulders the solemn
responsibility to stand guard over
their interests and the interests of
the state
1--WE therefore consider it essential
to call immcd lately conference of
members Of the All-Russian Constitu-
cnt Assembly to devise wavs and
means for the defense of the honor.
the self-rcspect and patrimony of Rus
sla before the peoples of the entire
world until such time when the people
Of Russia, by their own action and
free will, will restore and recognize q
legally constituted Russian state
