Menshevist .Leader Says Soviet

Berlin, Germany, Nov. 21. "It
left alone Bolshevism Is bound to
expire soon," declared M. Martow,
the Menshevist chief, in an Interview
which he granted me in Moscow.
Martov is considered by many as
the sanest man in Russia.
"The Menshevlkl see the solution
of the Russian problem in the
American democracy compelling- the
entente, to leave Russia alone. Only
then will the internal political sit
uation take a new turn. We believe
lhat the stopping of intervention,
the removal of the blockade and the
resumption of economic relations is
the only way .in which to "make pos
sible a change in our present re
gime. BOLSHEVISTS TO CONTKItE
"Bolshevism will be forced to make
concessions In the field of economics to
capital and assume a new and moderate
form. If it does not. then the proletariat
democracy will realize the necessity of
fighting Bolshevism. At present, this
is impossible, for they consider fighting
against the counter revolutionary Deni
kln and Kolchak their first duty. The
removal of the blockade and the re
sumption of normal industrial life In the
country will restore the strength of the
proletariat which, is now disappearing,
as even officially Moscow and Petro
grad have but 20 per cent of the num
ber of workmen they had two years
ago. Then the Bolshevist party would
not be able to rule against the will of
the majority of1 the people, as the peas
ants do not want communism. Proof is
found in the fact that the peasants are
continually fighting Bolshevist rule. The

effort of th soviet government lo cre
ate communes put of old landlords" es
tates has now been frustrated, for the
peasants want to divide the estates
anions' themselves.
NVROTE IT OWN DOOM
"Bolshevism by giving way to the
peasants wrote its own Inevitable doom.
It made 80 per cent of the Russian peo
ple petty bourgeois actuated by in
stincts of private gain. Nothing can
make the peasants turn over their hold
ings to the commune, which proves the
old socialist idea, so long held by
Lenin himself, that Russia is not ripe
for socialism and that natural condi
tions would force the country to take
the path of capitalistic development.
The Menshevlkl. believe that the present
social revolution is but a temporary ad
venture brought about by stupid allied
politics. We have many followers, but
the existing government of force and
violence offers no opportunity for oppo
sition parties to develop their activities.
PAPER READ WIDELY
"However, when wc had a newspaper
last winter it had a circulation of 80,
000 In Moscow alone and the demand
reached 150.000. A month ago there
took place in Brisnsk a soviet election.
The campaign was exceptionally free.
Six thousand workers voted and the ma
jority of the delegates elected were Men
shevlkl. However, a mandate of the
commission declared the election of
most of the Menshevlkl void and placed
in the soviet 31 communists and 19 Men
shevlkl. Last March in the elections in
Moscow the soviet yielded three mem
bers of the central committee to the
Menshivist party, Dan, Yugoe and
Pleskov. They were not allowed to take
their seats. Instead the entire central
committee, including myself, were ar
rested and kept in prison for terms of
various lengths. The elections were de
clared void and new ones were promised
but never took place.
SOCIALIST IS ARRESTED
"Two months ago Petrograd authori
ties came to arrest Potresov, one of the
founders of the Socialist party and now
a member of the right Menshevist. Not
afterward they were freed. Potresov re-year-old
daughter were imprisoned in
order to force his return. Several days
afterward they were feed. I'otresov re
turned and was arrested Auguft 31. A
guard was placed at his home for a
whole week to trap any visitors, nobody
being permitted to leave the house. This
system of planting traps, called
'sesada,' is widely used by the Bolshe
vist secret service. I know of the case
I of a person arrested followed by the
trapping of 22 or more persons, including
the milkman, the porter s wire and a
couple, of neighbors and their families
who came to inquire about the many.
All were held and taken to the police
station, but were freed In a day or two.
RETALIATION PRACTICED
"Another Bolshevist practice Is to take
hostages when evacuating cities. In
case General Denlkin or Admiral Kol
chak or any of the other enemy com
manders execute communists, then the
innocent hostages, mostly petty bour
geois, are shot. There is now in Mos
cow a wealthy peasant hostage 92 years
old. There are cases of hostages even
from the Socialist ranks. When Admiral
Kolhcak advanced towards the Volga

many - Menahivikl and Socialist revolu
tionaries were jailed as hostages, for
several months.
"On the other hand, even greater out
rages are committed in the regions oc
cupied byGeneral Denlkin and Admiral
Kolchak. We have proof that the
wives and children of communists were
shot by the Whites. However, this Is no
justification for the conduct of the
authorities claiming: to represent a So
cialist government. We live in constant
fear of arrest and yet we help to fight
General Denlkin. Generally, there were
-fewer' mutinies this year than last on
account of the hope for allied relief.
This has now collapsed and the only
choice Is between csarlsm and the soviet
and therefore the opposition to the lat
ter has weakened. ..
LEADERS HAVE ABILITY
"We are not fighting the Boleheviki,
but Bolshevism, recognizing that the
leaders have shown great ability in
ruining the government. - A peaceful de
velopment of Russia ?vould eliminate
Bolshevism quickly, because our peas
ants are aiming to become independent
farmers and petty land owners. It
would have been easy to realise this be
fore the revolution. Then It might have
been possible to nationalize the land.
Now the situation Is different. Today
epmmunism la up against a dead wall of
millions of peasant bourgeois. " Leave
Russia alone and economic conditions
will defeat Bolshevism more surely than
will General Denlkin or Admiral Kol
chak." M. Dan In 1917, during the Kerensky
regime, was a powerful soviet leader,
lie was present during my interview
with M. Martov.
"If the blockade war continues," he
remarked, "this will go on forever.
General Denlkin will be defeated, but
even if he takes Moscow, Kazan or
Ekaterinburg will become the seat of
the soviet government and two months
later the Bolshevikl in General Deni
kin's rear will rise up and wipe him
out. General Denikin only strengthens
Bolshevism. He, like Admiral Kolchak,
Is in the hands of reactionary officers
employing repression and provoking up
risings leading to the resurrection of
Bolshevism. ,We are In an accursed
circle of extreme elements which cannot
be stopped before half the Russian peo
ple perish only through the elimination
of one side. By withdrawing their aid
from the monarchist generals the allies
would save the Russian revolution and
let us destroy Bolshevism ourselves."
Government Agent
Refused to Arrest
I. W. W,, Is Charge
Following the arrest Wednesday night
of Dave Hayes, alleged I. W. W. leader
from Centralla, severe criticism was di
rected at W. R. Byron of the local de
partment of Justice Thursday morning
by W. A. Washer of Chehalis and Cen
tralla. employment manager of the Mc
Cormlck Lumber company. Hayes was
arrested In a restaurant near Sixth and
Stark streets, by Sergeant Sherwood.
Washer told the police that he called
upon Bryon shortly after the Centralia
murders and informed him that Hayes
was In the city, had just come from
Centralia, and was a radical I. W. W.
"Bryon Informed me he would have
nothing to do with the affair and that
he would not even Investigate the case,"
; Washer told the police. "I thought it
queer for a government secret service
1 man to act that way. I thought a se
cret service man always welcomed In
formation, especially anything that
might help to run down men guilty of
murder of United States soldiers."
Hayes was arrested by Sergeant Sher
wood upon information furnished by Ed
Hubbard of Centralia, cousin of one of
the men murdered on Armistice day.
Washer feared the government agency
would not handle the case after his
experience several days ago, bo he
called at police headquarters and of
fered to swear to an affidavit or tes
tify that Hayes is an I. W. W. organ
izer. Deputy District Attorney Deich
took the information Washer furnished
and accepted his offer to testify.
Esthonia to Force
Recognition From
Russian Bolsheviki
Dorpat. Livonia. Nov. 21. (I. N. S.)
Esthonia is determined to secure in
dependence and to force recognition of
it by the soviet regime of Russia, said
Dr. I'ilp, the Esthonian foreign minister
today. Dr. Piip is directing the peace
negotiations with the Bolshevikl. He
defended the Esthonian program for In
dependence, saying that the government
"did not trust the Russian group which
is in power at Moscow now."
"We have resources to give our na
tion wealth and economic strength and
we are willing to give Russia a free
commercial outlet on the Baltic coast,"
said' the foreign minister. "There are
immense forests In Esthonia and In ad
dition we have great deposits of shale,
oil and peat. Our people produce large
quantities of dairy products. We have
no jimperialistic aims. All we want is
to grow strong in peace and to give our
families a chance to prosper."

It can be done, by taking Mentho

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? Thw
reason is plain the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells Itself, aa llko
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of It.
A prominent druggist says: "Take for
example lr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for In
almost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy haa so large a
sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used tha preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root-is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that It fulfils al
most every wish In overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur
inary troubles and neutralizes ,ths uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
