America's Official Spokes
man in Russia Warns That
Triumph of Germany Means
Death to Russian Liberty.
BEARS U. S. WELCOME
TO NEW DEMOCRACY
Predicts Solution of Russian
Problems' and Triumph of
Free Peoples.
Petrograd, June 17. (I. N. 8.)
Ellhu Root, America's : of flclal spokes
man tn Russia, last night delivered a
oirlted address to the council of
ministers.
With fiery vigor .he reaffirmed
America's disinterestedness in the war,
saying the conservation of democracy
In the world was ner .only aim. Mr,
Root's speech could not have come at
a more opportune moment, for the
suspicion of what Russian socialists
have come to call "American imperial
tsm" has spread far and wide- through
new Russia and it is assiduously nour
lshed 'by the pro-Teuton elements,
The- Russian masses have been at a
loss to understand why the United
States entered the war unless it was
for selfish aims. The publicity given
Mr. Root's address today is believed
to have gone a long way toward en
lightening the public mind here.
. Mr. Root said:
Text of Hoofs Address
" "The mission comes from a demo
cratic republic.
"For 140 years our -people have been
struggling with the hard -problem .of
self-government. With many short
comings, many mistakes, many imper
fections, we still- have, maintained
order and respect for law, individual
freedom and' national independence.
. VUnder the security of our own laws
w. have grown in strength and pros
pcrlty. But we value our freedom more
than wealth. We love liberty- and wo
cherlth above all our possessions the
Ideals f of which pur father fooght And

America Welcomes Democracy
ewellev in the competence of
-tflo ' iower of democracy: and, in our
heart of - hearts abides faith in th
coming of a better world in which th
humble and oppressed of all lands
may be lifted up by freedom to a
heritage of justice and equal opportu
nity
The news of Russia's new found
freedom brought to America, universal
satisfaction and Joy. From all the
land sympathy and hope went out o
the new sister in the circle or dem
ocracies and the mission is sent to ex
press that feeling.
"American democracy sends to the
democracy of Russia a greeting of
oympathy, friendship, brotherhood;
godspeed. Distant America knows lit
tle of the special conditions of Russian
life which must give form to the gov
ernment and laws which you are about
to create.
