ent rehashing all the old lies about
Soviet Russia in order to show the
dangers Of American recognition of
Soviet Russia, has as one of his pet
subjects the "Bolshevik outrage" COM
mitted in Georgia.
He pictures the Georgian workers
and peasants as ardent adherents Of
the menshevik brand of socialism, for
which the Georgian masses are per
secuted by the Bolsheyist authorities.
A regime of blood and iron alone can
keep the workers and peasants Of the
Soviet Republic OF Georgia from over
throwing the Bolsheyist yoke and en-
bracing the blessings OF menshevist
rule for English oil capital.
AItho these lies have been dealt
with repeatedly we take them up again
and again. The paid scribes and so
cialist mercenaries Of capitalism, such
as Abramovich, insist on rehashing
old lies in the hope of reaching new
audience that has not yet been made
immune against their poison by a
knowledge OF the truth.
Ta meet these campaigns we have
no choice but must repeat again and
again that the reports" of Abramo
vich and his menshevist disciples are
poisoned arrows directed against tn
first workers and peasants govern
ment; that these reports are no les
damnable attacks on the exist
ence of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics than the poisoned bullet
was, that disciple of the Abramo-
viches fired into the body of Lenin in
the Soviet Republics darkest hour.
AS against the lies Of the Abramo
viches it is interesting to learn what
unbiased observers have to say about
the Soviet Republic OF Georgia
At the session of the~ Enlarged
Trade Union Council OF Georgia, held
on Dec. 2, last year, Comrade A. A.
Purcell. on behalf Of the English trade
union delegation in Georgia, conveyed
the fraternal greetings of the English
proletariat and said:
'It is our task to annihiIiate that
Rbominable campaign OF lies against
the Soviet Union and that net Of lies
which entangies the working class of
the whole world. the working class
demands a final solution OF the ques-
ton of the unity Of the labor move
ment. believe that the self-sacriice,
the discipline snd the steadfastness
Of &bn <,fo 80 l.1 M Tn.
ion will help to realize this unity in
order to conduct the fight against
world capitalism with united forces"
Comrade Ben Tillet declared:
when the delegation set out for
Georgia, some of my nearest friends
said that Georgia at present presents
a picture Of anarchy and murder, that
100000 members of the Red Army are
suppressing the liberty of Georgia
threatening women and children with
Georgia is seething with discomfort
"After having become acquainted
with the situation in Georgia on the
spot, we became convinced that the
bourgeois lies emsnate from white
guardist sources.
For Curzon and Churchill the Rus.
sian revolution is an outrage. They
represent the Bolsheviki as brute
beasts. But we found them to be hu
man beings. Instead of the national
ization Of women we find that no
where Is the woman so protected and
nowhere does she enjoy such rights az
in the Soviet Union. The Russian pro
letariat is engaged In such a work Of
reconstruction as we have never beer
able to find outside the frontiers o.
the Red republics. The Russian trade
union movement is full Of life and
energy. The great solidarity upon
which your work Is based will con
quer the whole world"
On Dec. 3, the English trade union
delegation had an interview with g
