But the French Republican Government worked up to white heat and hating the workman
peasant while tenderly amorous of Imperial Russia, if you please was not at pains to conceal its
desires. Thus the French Bourse hoping to get back its milliards has gambled quite an unneces
sary number of times in Russian paper.
The more prudent and well schooled English Government, warily insuring itself in the event
of loss by means of two or three side bets and always playing with two policies, with a sweepin
aristocratic gesture of the left hand permits its tender lady patronesses to organize charity bazar
while with the other hand it submits to us the following demand : A foreign country, deeply
affected by the tortures of the ungry is ready to help on condifon that that help should
directly to the peasantry and to be uncontrolled and not interfered with by Soviet organiza
tions.
The pian in the street will think—What could be better for the Soviet Government than
tlmt these people should do the work themselves ? But the Moscow Government, well-versed in
English Perfidy, is not of that opinion. The wily Lloyd George is setting a trap for us.
If we give our consent to a direct and uncontrolled connection of a whiteguard foreion
country with the districts on the Volga it means we acquiesce in our own destruction, it would
mean we must allow within our midst the existence of whiteguard committees, it would mean
the sanction to organize a monstrous fresh revolution under the banners of the Red (Toss
If, on the other hand, we assure tender hearted London of our profound respect and
farsightedly,ref use her help we shall—according to the foreign whiteguards—provoke the starvino'
masses to revolution. 0
Is not that well thought out ?
We expect nothing, either from the burgeoisie or from the So-called democratic gover ,ments
In spite of this new perfidy, in spite of these new conspiracies, in spite of the hundreds of
spies, instructors, and couriers of Savinkov, in spite of his sappers for the destruction of
bridges and factories, in spite of kilogrammes of strong venom for poisoning detachments of the
Red Army —we want nothing.
Hearing the ones of the little children dying of hunger, seeing the tears of their mothers
listening to the groans of the aged, the Russian and foreign bourgeoisie offer us one gift one
form of help—A stone for bread.
That is our portion. Let us eat of it and get well.
, , 0llIy ; our Proletarian brotherhood of the poor will bring us their last piece of weevilly
bread and say Here is our share. Eat it and get well. ” 1 ^
