The declaration, received by cable

the invitation to the boishevilzi as a
step to degrade Russia to the state
of colony open to foreign exploitation. j."
The committees formal declaration
reads:
Every concession obtained bv the for
efgners from the bolshevilli will inevita
bly, result in a situation whereby the
foreigners will defend the bolshevisy
! power in its struggle against the oppress-
ed peoples Of Russia. in order to mate

In this foreign support of the boil

which, even after the downfall of boil

the establishment of peaceful co-opera
ton between Russia and the outside
