We are for a univer- sal veaee with the European nations. “What will the government do if Germany refuses to negotiate for peace. Will it continue the war?” was the next question. “We rely on the German ‘army and the working classes to make a con- tinuation of the war impossible,” Trot: zky replied. “If, however, our frank and honest offers cf peace meet no response, we would declare a revolutionary war against (jerman imperialism, we would} mobilize el! our forces, confiscate large {cod supplies and prosecute the war as energetically as we did the revolution ut we have every ground to think that our offer of peace will| make imececthle a continuation of the! war on ail ironts.” “What is the country’s attitude to! ward the governmental change?” Bourgeoise and Intellectuals. “All the bourgeoise is against us.
