After Seven Years

eSGlng reading. / nave hardly flnlShed with the
amusing conversations between Moi Jordania and the
British generals when have before me again some
works by the same author. So far the British gen
erals are not yet on the scene, but they close
behind the scenes the reader will soon find out.
This time, however, it is not stenographic record,
but original letters. True, we must use them in
TRANSACTIONS but whether a translator "falsifies"
more than stenographer, has not yet been decided
by history.
The documents are unusually frank One of them
signed by "Olko," says: while write this let

the walls of the Soviet Cooperative Arcos) in order
to find stolen documents and other (Bolshevik)
shady affairs This is only excuse The police
searches are made with entirely different aim

How well informed! But it must not be forgotten
that dealing here with representatives of the
Georgian Government" No joke! "The Congress
of the Social Democratic Labor Party of Georgia."
read in the resolution of the recent Congress of
the Georgian Mensheviks, considers the N Jordania
Government exiled abroad the legitimate govern
ment of Georgia. it approves of its activities in gen
eral and particularly of the unfcation of the sub
Jugated peoples in the Soviet Union with view to
destroying Russian imperialism. The government
is authorized to find reliable allies among the states
(which will help Georgia with money and goods,
etc. both during the period of the liberation
ment and after the occupation of Georgia to support
Georgia and render all possible assistance in the
struggle against any mperalist steps that might
be taken by Russia against Georgia"
TIME in the Soviet Union is fleeing very rapidly
but it is dragging in exile. In my. last article
was afraid that everybody has already forgotten
here about 1919, and here you will agree just as if
it had been yesterday, Gegetchkory is negotiating
with the British generals. We see people waiting
for seven years for goods to arrive from England
1t must be admitted that they patient lot.
Naturally, the government is well informed as to
its reliable ally both to the time when the raid
made ARGOS and to the real of the raid
etc. That its ally is primarily Great Britain is self
evident. Also in this respect changes have taken
place during these years. Jordania writes to his
correspondent in Georgia that fthe Anglo-R Russian
antagonism has reached phase when it can no
longer be settled through peaceful negotiations
Either Russia England will rule Asia, that is
how the question stands today At the present time
Britain is concentrating all anti-Soviet forces. This
constitutes the of European politics today In
this possible imperialst clashng of forces Georgas
position is clear"
But England is longer the only possible ally.
In letter to the Menshevik C. C.--this letter is
somewhat older than the "Oko" letter, and is there
fore more interesting another member of the "gov
eminent" and another Moi, this time Ramishvlli,
writes "The nti-Russian bloc is about to realize
its aims. Hitherto, England leading. Now ia
pan is also in the leadership. A government has
been formed there headed by General Tanaka who
wants active interference in China. This signifies
the strengthening of Japanese influence in Man
chura and driving the Russians out of there Thanks
to the Chang Tso-lin policy, the whole world found
out that Russia cannot fight, and that is why she
is pushed up against the wall from all sides, and
that is why she is rdiculed."
EFT stop for while. 1t is a well-known fact
that there wise people in this very same
Russia" who seriously think that all the hula
balloo about is nothing but the speculation of
the dominating faction" And here we find secret
Georgian documents where it is written in black
and white that war is being prepared against
Russia" and that Russia" is being provoked; they
express great resentment at the fact that do not
succumb to the provocations. Perhaps, after all,
this will convince our wiseacres.
1t is natural for in Ramishvillis place to spec
ulate to the chances of the different sides IN
the expected
"Russia"-t is characteristic that the state of
which Georgia constitutes component part is per-
sistently designated by Jordania and company as
"Russia"-has no chances whatever; it cannot fight
and the fracas must end with it's Acknowledgement"
