TROTZKY AND LENINEMRATE UNDER GERMAN PAY
BETRAYAL OF RUSSIA OTIRELY DUE TO HUN GOLD
BOLSHEVIKI BACKING DISCLOSED IN DOCUMENTS
(Continued from Fage 1, Section 1)
The committer on public informa
tion releases for publication herewith
a series of communications between
th firinan imperial government and
the Russian liolhevik government
ahd between the ISolsheviki th.ui
fcf lvea. and also the! report therton
made to George Creel1 by IMgar Sis
son, the committee's special repre
sentative in Russia during the winter
of 1517-18.
These documents show that tne
present heads of the Holshevlk gov
ernment Lenine and Trotzky and
their associates are Oerman atu-nts.
They show that the Iiolshevik rev
olution was arranged for by the Ger
man general staff and financied by
the Oerman Imperial Rank and other
German financial institutions.
Thev show that the treaty of Tlrest
I.itovsk was a betrayal of the Rus
sian people by the German agents.
Lenine and Trotzky; that a German
picked commander was chosen to
"defend" Petrograd against the Ger
mans; that German officers have
been secretly received by the Rolshe
vik government as military adviser.
s spies upon the embassies of Rus
sia's allies, as officers in the Rus
sian army and a director of the Bol
shevik military, foreign and domes
tic policy. They show. In short, that
the present Bolshevik governments
not a Russian government at all. but
a German government, acting solely
in the Interests of Germany and be
tarying the Russian people, as it; be
trays Russia's natural -allies, ferjthe
benefit of the imperial Germftn'fOT
ernment alone.
And they show also that the Bol
shevik leaders, for the same German
imperial ends, have equally betrayed
the working classes of Russia, whom
they pretend to represent.
The documents are some 70 In
number. Many are' originals, anno
tated by Bolshevik officials. The
balance of the others are photo
graphs of originals, showing annota
tions. And they corroborate a third
set of typewritten circulars of which
only two originals are possessed, but
all of which fit perfectly into the
whole pattern of German intrigue
and German guilt.
The first document is a photo
graph of a report made to the Bol
shevik leaders by two of their assis
tants informing them that In accord
ance with their instructions, there
nad been removed from the archives
of the Russian Ministry of Justice
the order of the German Imperial
Bank "allowing money to Comrades
Lenine. Trotzky and others for the
propaganda of peace in Russia;" and
that, at the same time "all the books
of a bank in Stockholm had been
"audited" to conceal the payment of
money to Lenine, Trotzky and their
associates by order of the German
Imperial Bank.
This report is indorsed by Lenine,
with his initials, for deposit in "the
secret department" of the Bolshevik
files. And the authenticity of the
report is supported by document No.
2, which is the original of a report
sent by a German general starf rep
resentative to the Bolshevik leaders,
warning them he has Just arrested
an agent who had in his
the original order of the German
imperial liank referred to in docu
ment No. 1, and pointing out that
evidently "at the proper time steps
were not taken to destroy the above
mentioned documents."
Document No. 3 is the orlginaj
protocol signed by several Bolshe
vik leaders and dated November 2.
1917. showing that "on instruction
of the representatives of the Ger
man General Staff in Petrograd" and
"with the consent of the' Council of
Feople's Commissars" of which Trot
sky and Lenine were the heads, two

also been "taken froni the .deptrt-
uieui oi secret service of the Petro-
graa aisirict" and given to thsecret

general staff in Petrograd. On the
ixMioni or me protocol the German
adjutant acknowledged
two incriminating circulars with his
cipner signature. Andkto complete
ti e evidence the circulars are them
selves penciled with tk. i
tures ofthe head of the Grman se
cret, service ourean.
These two circulars apparently had
ren obtained by some Russian agent
in Germany and transmitted to Rus
sia. The German general staff evi
dently wished to get them back in
order to destroy them. By the or-
r.0fne Germai general staff and

cause they are conclusive proof that

eral weeks before the assassination
of the Austrian Archduke, which wa

One circular is an order from the
German general staff dated June s

employment of "anarchists and es

In these damninr nroofs of a nr.
man conspiracy against the nations
of Europe in June. 1914, and against
the Lnited States in November. 1914.
it Is shown that Lenine and Trotzky
surrendered to the German secret
service In Fetrograd on order of "the
J representatives of the German gen
eral staff in Petrograd."
And they surrendered them In
conformity with a working agree-
j ment between the Bobhevik leaders
, ahd the German general staff, of
'which agreement a photograph is lu
, eluded in the series as document No.
5.
It is dated October. 1917. It is
from a division of the German gen
eral staff. It is addressed to the
Council of the Peopled Commissar,
of which Lenine and Trotzky were
the heads. It begins:
- "In accordance with the agreement
which took place in Kronstadt. In
July of the present year, between of
ficials of our general staff and lead
ers of the Russian revolutionary ar
my, and democracy. Messrs. Ienlne
and Trotzky, Rasalinosk and Dyben
ko. tbttr Russian division is ordering
to Petrograd officers for the disposal
of the Information department of
j the taff.M
Amrtng the officers named are Ma
jor Luberts, whose cipher signature
Is giyemas It appears on the two sur
rendered German circulars mention
ed above (document No. 3) and
Lieutenant Hart wig. whose cipher
signature is given as it appears on
the receipt for the two circular.
And an Indorsement on this letter
froro the1 German general staff re
cords" that the German officers as
signed to. Petrograd had appeared
"before the revolutionary military
committee" and had ''agreed on con
ditions with regard to' their mutual
activities." '
What their "mutual" activities"
were to be Is sufficiently Indicated
by document No. 7. which Is a pho
tograph of a letter signed In cipher
by this Major Luberts and his adju
tant. Lieutenant Hartwig. They no
tify the Bolshevik leaders on Janu
ary It. 1918. that "by order of the
German general staff" the German
Intelligence section "has informed us
of the names and the characteristics
of the main candidates for re-elec
tion - 10 me Kusian lioishevik "cen
tral executive committee" and the
"general staff orders us to Insist on
the election of the following peo
ple." They add a list of Russian
leaders satisfactory to the German
general staff. The list Is headed by
Trotzky and 1-er.ine. They were
elected, and the rest of the present
Bolshevik executive committee were
hosen from the same German list.
Document No. 28 gives evidence
of the quid pro quo. It is a photo
graph of a letter from the president
cf the German Imerial Bank to the
Bolshevik Commissioner of foreign
cfrairs. It Is marked "very secret"
and dated January 8. 1918. It says:
"Information has today been receiv
d by me 'from Stockholm that 50,
000.000 rubles or gold have . been
transferred to be put at the dispos
al of the People's Commissars, which
is the tltla of th Bolshevik leaders.
"This credit; the letter continue,
"has been supplied to the Russian
government In order to cover the
cost of the keep of the Red Guards
(the BoUhevik revolutionary troops)
and agitators in the country. The
imperial government considers It ap
propriate . to "remind the soviet of
People's' Commissars of the necessity
of increasing propaganda in the
country, .as the antagonistic attitude
of the south of Russia and Siberia
to the existing Russian government
Is troubling the German govern
ment."" Four days later the same president,
of the German Imperial Bank sent
another 5. 000. 000 rubles to the same
address to privlde for the sending of
a Russian revolutionary- leader to
Vladivostok to get possession of the
"Japanese and American materials"
at that port, and if necessary to de
stroy them. A photogroph of his
letter is given as document No. 9.-

probably none later that:(jiefe. None

ed in documents 16 to 29. These are
photographs of letters which passed
between the Bolshevik leaders and
the German general staff, or the Ger
man officers in RuMia. iKicunient No
21 shows that on November 1. 1I7
when Russia "was etill regarded a"
an ally of Great Iltltalo. Frame and
America. lh-Orms -pjwnral staff
was having '"tlx honor to request"
the ltolnhevik leaders to inform it
"at the earliest pos.lbl moment"
roncrning "the quantity and storage
place of supplies that have b-n re
ceived from America, Kngland and
France and also the units which are
keeping guard over the stores.
Document 18 shows the German
general staff requiring the Bolihevlkj
leaders to send "agitators - to the
ramps of the Russian prisoners of
war In Germany," In order that they
might procure spies to work among
the Knglish and French troops and ;
to turther eace propaganda." And
this Is proposed by the German gen
eral stafr as being "according to the
negotiations between the Rosslan
and German peace delegations at
Brest-Lltovsk."
In document ' 22 the Bolshevik
leaders and the Germans are arrang
ing to send "agents, agitators and
agent destructors" out of Vladivos
tok to ports of United States. Japan
and British colonies In Eastern Asia
In document 1C Trotzky Is provid
ing fraudulent passports for German
officers who are going to England.
France and America, as spies and en
emy agents. And document 17 shows
Trotzky Indorsing a similar proposal
"to be urgently executed. L. T."
Three German submarine are to
be sent to the Paciric on the Trans
Siberian railway In document No. 23.
Lists of German and Rutudan spies
watching the British. French and
American embassies In Petrograd are
given in document No. 2S. And
finally. In document No. 15 the Bol
shevik leaders are warned that In
formation concerning "the connec
tion of the German government with
the Bolshevik workers' has leaked
out and that Russian troops are hear
ing It.
Letters are given to show how the
Bolshevik leaders and the German
officers arranged for the assassina
tion of Russian Nationalist leaders
(documents 35. 39 and 62. for the
destruction of the Polish legionaries
in the Russian army (documents 40
to 421. for the disorganization of the
Rumanian army and the deposing of
the Rumanian king (document No.
37. for the substitution or officer
satisfactory to Germany to command
of Russian troops Instead of -patriotic
Russian generals (documents 31 and
32). for the suppression of potrlotlc
agitation among the Russian soldiers
(documents 13 and 14). for an at
tack upon the Julian ambassador In
Petrograd and the theft of his pa
pers (documents 2( and 27). and
for the employment of German sol
diers In Russian uniforms against
the Russian National armies la the
south (document 35).
Several of the letters are Indorsed
br Trotsky. Even standlaff alone,
they are complete proof that the Bol
shevik leaders were ruling as Ger
man agents In Russia and obeying
German orders to act against all
Geremanv'a eem'es and even
against Russia Itself.
Moreover, these Bolshevik leaders
acted as German agents by suppres
sing their own socialist revolution In
the Rasslan provinces where their
doctrines Interfered with German
plans of annexation.. Document 4C
Is the original letter from the Petro
grad denartment of the German gen
eral stafr. addressed to the Bolshevik
Commissar of Forelcn affairs. It
reads: "According to Instructions of
the representative of our general
taff. I have the honor once more to
insist that too recall from F.tlnd
Utva and Courland all agitators or
tne central executive committee of
the soviet of workmen and soldiers'
deputies.
And in document 47. the general
staff orders the Bolshevik to cease
the agitation In Estland. which had
"finally led to the German landlords
being declared outlawed" and to
"take immediate steps ror the re
storing or the rights or the above
mentioned German landlords."
Another group or letters (No. 33
to 31 shows how the Germans
cheated the Bolshevik leaders in
their -dealings with the Ukraine and
made a separate German peace with
the anti-Bolshevik leaders In that
Russian province. And another
group shows the Germans assisting
both sides or the civil war In Fin
land. Fred 7. Drake Is Named
