The Leader is glad to give his views .on the Johnson resolution, without taking any responsibility for them). RANCE had her Dreyfus case—the shame of a na- tional apology to an in- nocent man wronged and denounced for years un- der charges of treason by plotters who themselves' betrayed the democracy of France. Will the allied world presently bow its head in a more bitter shame, and acknowledge Soviet Russia innocent of treason to democracy? Will the workingmen’s government at Moscow set the type of the world’s humani- tarian ideals in the next generation? Has the allied world been misled by a hellish lie framed by the remnants of the old Romanoff terror, fostered by international reactionaries, handled ~ by class-biased diplomats, accepted by politicians who fear nothing so much as the aroused anger of the masses? Hiram Johnson, senator from Cali- fornia and reputed candidate for the Republican nomination for the presi- dency of the United States, has un- dertaken to begin for Soviet Russia the task that the great Zola did for Dreyfus. He is going to force some of the truth about this vast, strug- gling, idealistic nation of 180,000,000 people into the open light of day. La Follette and Borah and others will add to the service he is doing. Every organ of predatory capital in Amer- ica will probably curse them as they proceed. We need not expect John- son to tell all the truth; he does not understand, much less approve, the plan of the Soviets for removing pov- erty from the world by co-operation. He will still talk of the Soviet lead- ers as terrorists. - Speaking in the senate on January 29, Hiram Johnson pleaded for the immediate withdrawal of American troops from Russia. He quoted the address of President Wilson to con- gress on January 8, 1918, when the Brest-Litovsk conferences were about to take place, as follows: DECLARATIONS MADE "BY WILSON “The Russian people are prostrate and all but helpless, it would seem, before the grim power of Germany, which has hitherto known no relent- ing and no- pity. * * * And yet their soul is not subservient. They will not yield either in principle or in action. Their conception of what is right, of what is humane and ‘hon- orable for them to accept, has been stated with a frankness, a largeness of view, a generosity of spirit, and a universal - human sympathy which- must challenge the admiration of every friend of mankind.” * * * Then, on January 12, the president declared that the allies must assist Russia, welcoming her “into the so- ciety of free nations under institu- tions of her own choosing.” And on February 11 he warned the world that- “gelf-determination is not a: mere phrase; it is an imperative principle of action which statesmen will hence- forth ignore at their peril.” Senator Johnson pointed out that the Brest-Litovsk treaty was con- cluded late in February, and was to be up for ratification by the All-Rus- sian *Soviet congress at Moscow in. March. 3 A “Early in March,” he declared, “the Soviet government officially presented to the allies certain questions, favor- able answers to which every man then in Russia agreed would prevent a rati- fication ‘of the Brest-Litovsk treaty Bad Faith Toward Russia Disclosed Senator Hiram Johnson Brings Out Surprising Facts : About Our Relations With Soviets by the All-Russian Soviet congress, and then there would have been a re- newal of the war by Russia against Germany. A ‘translation of the of- ficial document thus transmitted to the allies from the Soviet government is as follows: In case (a) the All-Russian con- gress of the Soviets will refuse to ratify the peace treaty with Germany, or (b) if the German government, breaking the peace treaty, will renew the offensive in order to continue its robbers’ raid, or (c) if the Soviet gov- ernment ‘will be forced by the actions of Germany to renounce the peace treaty—before or after ‘its ratifica- tion—and to renew hostilities— In all these cases it is very impor- tant 'for the political and military plans of the Soviet power for replies to be given to the following questions: 1. Can the Soviet government re- 1y on the support of the United States, Great Britain and France in its strug- gle against Germany? . - 2. What kind of support could be furnished in the nearest future, and on what conditions—military equip- ment, transportation supplies, living necessities ? 3. What kind of support would be furnished particularly and especially by the United States? INQUIRIES FOR AID ARE IGNORED Should Japan—in consequence of an open or tacit understanding with Ger-- many or without such understanding —attempt to seize Vladivostok and - the Eastern Siberian railway, which would threaten to cut off Russia from the Pacific ocean and would greatly impede the concentration of Soviet troops toward the East about the Urals—in such case what steps would be taken by the other allies, particu- larly and especially by the United States, to prevent a Japanese landing in the Far East, and to insure unin- terrupted communication with Russia through the Siberian route? In the opinion of the government of the United States, to what extent —under the above-mentioned circum- stances—would aid be assured from Great Britain through Murmansk and Archangel? What steps could the government of Great Britain under- take in order to assure this aid and thereby undermine the foundation of the rumors of the hostile plans of Great Britain against Russia in the nearest future? All these plans are conditioned with the self-understood - assumption that. .the internal and foreign policies of the Soviet government will continue to be directed in accordance with the principles of international socialism and that the Soviet government re- tains its complete independence of all non-Socialist governments. : Senator Knox, former secretary of state, asked what evidence Johnson had that this document was authentic. “I have a photographic copy of it on my desk,” replied Johnson. “The document was handed to Raymond Robins and a companion in what was known as fhe office of the council of the people’s commissaries, Smolny Institute, Petrograd, by Commissaire of Foreign Affairs Trotzky, after a conference between Lenine, Trotzky and Robins. It was transmitted to Washington and delivered to the am- bassador of the United States. “The men who were then in Russia familiar with the situation, including the representatives of England and the representatives of the United States, advised their governments to: respond favorably. I have copies of the telegrams which were sent at that time to different governments. But the communication was received, ‘ap- ;
