from conspiracy against the revolu-
ton to actual assassination and &C
cepting money from the French milit-
airy mission.
While in the throes Of revoiutrUR
and civil war these reptiles, under the
direction of the executive committee
of the social revolutionary party, with
Victor Tchernoff, hireling of French
imperialism at their head, committed
a series of the most loathsome and
repulsive crimes against the revolu-
tion in order to open the gates to the
allied armies so that the defenders of
the revolution could be drowned in
oceans of blood and the supremacy
of capitalism restored.
This malignant throng was decisive
ly silenced when the Soviet govern
ment, after proving, with unimpeach-
able documentary evidence, that they
we're guilty of all the atrocious crimes
charged, and many more, committed
the death sentences imposed upon
them. Rather than execute them they
were permitted to live and endure the
execration of all sincere revolutionists
thruout the earth. 9
LocaFno the Latest.
OTHER efforts of the capitalist ma
~ lions to devise method OF crush
ing the revolution; the arbitrary crea-
ton of little ententes, the vancouver
ing to gain advantages in one way or
another over the revolution, finally
eliminated in Locarno, where the
most ambitious plan for isolating
Russia from the rest of the world and
forming bloc of nations to destroy
the revolution by armed invasion
came to naught.
By exploiting the conflicts between
the various imperialist nations, Russia
has, thus far, been successful In pre-
venting an armed invasion. But those
sinister forces represented at Locarno
are still at work, and as long as they
exist they will menace the revolution.
But Russia need have no fear of
them, for there is q tremendous DO
tential reserve force in India, Asia
and Africa, where the exploited COL
onials, groaning under the burdens of
Imperialism are even now stirring
restlessly. When the time for war be-
tween the outpost Of the world revo-
luton and the capitalist nations of
the earth comes, in addition to the
iron battalions Of the proletarian Red
Army there will be the vast masses of
colonial slaves brought into the con-
flict on the side Of the revolution.
Then the imperialist nations them
selves have still to reckon with the
class conscious proletariat at home,
under the leadership Of the Commun-
list International, who will throw all
their might into the scales on the side
of the Union of Soviet Republics and
tip the balance for the revolution.
Revolution Defiant
EFT the imperialist nations hesitate
- before letting loose upon their
heads certain humiliation, for such It
will be il ever they dare step one foot
of a hostile army on the soil of the
revolution.
From Brest-Litovsk to Locarno;
from the first feeble steps on the path
to revolution to the day when the i'm
perialist world stands appalled, before
the might of that revolution. After
eight years Soviet Russia is still hold
ing aloft the torch OF world revolution
and every passing year it grows
brighter; its rays penetrate ever dark
er recesses Of the earth until all the
exploited and oppressed are turning
their eyes toward 1t as the beacon
that will light the path to freedom.
