here that the heads of your churches consider the
recognition of the Roman pope"
AT any rate. you must send us AL nfor7na-
ton concerning the church This is of great i'm
portance in Europe"
We know to well that st is of great Importance
IN Europe" At the time of the Conradv trial one
OF the main witnesses for the defense was Madame
kalash who sang in the beautiful French language
the song that in Moscow all churches are closed the
clergy is prosecuted, there are no religious serv
ices" and similar chants. The bourgeois who oc-
caslonay shut down the factories in order to fence
the workers into submission through starvation bat
never closes the churches was overtaken nv Mons
rage. But the list of "anti-Bolshivik clements" is
not yet complete and take the liberty to call the
attention of both Nois to another group which is
even more reliable than the clergy and even than
Mrs. kalash. This group consists of the former
tsarist neutrality-suspicious. many of whom are nm
ooubtedy still In hiding somewhere beyond the eau
caslan borders also within its borders They are
people who have been tested as to their hatred to
the Bolsheviks and they have much experience in
conspiratlve work too. They would be of great use
Experience in secret work is now more essential
iran ever before Perhaps have emphasized too
much IN saying that the Georgian Mensheviks have
not changed much since 1919, and can already
near some objections that I have forgotten nv dia
lectcs few samples of diaectcs we have already
seen IN the fact that they are now cinginc to the
tails of two mperialist sharks at the sametine
one IN the Atlantic Ocean and the other in the Pa
cltlc and not as before. But the main diaectic is
hidden OF course, in the present tactics of the Men
sheviks.
IN the first place. if you think that they are pre-
arirg instruction, thea YOU are yraatIy mis-
taken Georgia" Tread Jordania and Coz "as all
other Russian nationalists {! , wants the defeat
of Moscow. but. IT WILL NOT TAKE DIRECT
PART IN THE STRUGGLE but will remain neu-
trail until the perspectives will become clear This

II wiz enter INTO the actse struggle only when our
independence will be guaranteed OUR TACTICS
DURING THE WAR MUST BE THE CZECH TAG
TIC, NAMELY, NOT TO RISEi"
On this point RamishvilE fully supports "the
president of the government" "Should war begin
(which appears to be inevitably we must take
every measure that the people do not fall victims of
the Boishevik provocation (?) and do not revolt.
MOI speaks of Czech tactics during war; and he is
quite right. The Georgian fighters must act the
same way" But MOI No. makes an interesting
addition. He says: "The enthusiasm with which
the people greeted the against Germany must
not be repeated during the mobilization. ="
That is saying something's Of course what kind
of rising there be if must "fear" that the
people will to the defense of their Soviet father
land with enthusiasm" In the light of these fears
the disclosures scattered in the quotations given
above right at the beginning of this article from
"Ohkos" letter ill-omen for the Menshe-

PARTY, but do not lose hope. :" 1.-THE situa-
ton of those who lost their country and are now
abroad is unbearable. We always faced with
the perspective of being buried in foreign land"
1T necessary to give up the idea of an nsur-
rection there masses who would follow
the lead Apparently, the Georgian fascsts think
themselves better off. Much is spoken about them
in the letters and from the tone in which refer
is made to them it is clear that they are the
most serious opponents. Georgian fascism subsi-
died by Italy is not subject. We not going
to deal with it We should only observe that
the Czech" tactics of the Mensheviks does not at
all signify peaceful" tactics "From today on, we
must establish highly conspirative connections with
the staff of the Georgian army" says RamishviIh
