Mr. Robins quoted Lenine as de
claring that in his opinion the Amer
ican : government was entirely cor
rupt and as adding:
"We challenge every ' government.
Wo mar be overwhelmed, but at the
same time we will destroy all mori
bund political governments.
Unceasing opposition to the prin-
eiples of Bolshevism, both in Russia
and In the United States was advo
cated by Mr. Robins, . but he warn
ed against military force and arbi
trary suppression of ideas. The wit
ness said the United States should
send an economic mission to RusSta
to aid its people in obtaining the
necessities of life, declaring this the
most effective way in fighting Bol
shevism. To combat Bolshevism
here, Mr. Robins urged that the peo
ple be allowed to know the truth
about its "false teachings" and that
existing evils in American economic
and socJal life be remedied by law

the repudiation of . Bolshevism.

TAFT REPLIES
TO CRITICISM
Immigrants Cannot Flood
Country Under League of
Nations, He Says
PITTSBURGH, March 6. The ar
gument that America under the
league of nations constitution might
be compelled to receive Immigrants,
contrary to the national desire, was
refuted by Former President Wil
liam II. Taft in an address here to
night. "Immigration," said Mr. Taft. 'by
International law is a democratic
question, purely within the control
of the government into which immi
gration is sought, unless the ques
tion is the subject of treaty stipula
tion between two countries." .
That the? league council, as a me
diating body, should not take Juris
diction to consider the immigration
question was the opinion of the
speaker. T
In closing, Mr. Taft said: I
"The European nations desire our
entrance into this league, not , that
they, may control America, but to
secure our aid in controlling you
and I venture "to think that they
would be relieved if the primary du
ty of keeping peace and policing this
western hemisphere were relegated
to us and out western colleagues."
