Raymond Robin Says Bolshevik!
Agreed to Denounce Brest-Litovsk
Treaty and Resume War Aqalnst
Germany if America and Britain
Would Assure Co-operation.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 6 The Rus
sian Bolshevik government agreed in
February, . 19 18, to denounce tha
Brest-Litovsk treaty and resume ths
war against Germany It the United
States and Great Britain would as
sure cooperation,-Raymond Robins,
former head of the American Red
Cross mission In Russia, testified to
day before the senate committee in
vestigating lawless propaganda.
Mr. Robins said thac despite his
efforts and those of R. A. B. Lock
hart, British high commissioner; to
induce their governments to agree
to this proposal, no word was receiv
ed by March 14, when Lenlne said ho
was. convinced no help could be ex
pected and Induced the All-RusBlan
soviet to ratify tho treaty with Ger
many.' . " :-.. '," - V-
' .. Willing to Oppose '
Mr. Robins testified that Trotzky .
and Lenlnet disagreed about the sign
ing of the Brest treaty, the former
believing that if he appealed 'to the
working classes of Germany, the Ger
man leaders would not dare impose
the treaty on Russia. ; , . .
- Later, however, Mr. . Rqblns . de
clared Trotzky said that both Lenlno
and himself were willing to oppose
final ratification of the treaty and 1C
necessary, retire to the' Ural moun
tains to reorganize the army and tho
government to oppose tho Germans
if the allies wonld lend assistance.
' "I asked Trotzky to put this in
writing" the witness told'the com
mittee. "He replied 'do you want my
life?' But we finally arranged that
the matter should be outlined In a
memorandum unsigned." . ; . '
Mr. 'Robins said he agreed to pre
sent this proposal to the American
government and obtained the co-operation
of Commissioner Lockhart,
who had special powers from the
British government, and that the
American ambassador gave his ap
proval. .
No Reply ForUicomlnK ,
Despite all efforts, according to)
the witness, no answers were forth
coming when the fourth AU-Russian
soviet congress assembled at Moscow.
In that congress, he said, six of the
seven parties were originally opposod
to the ratification of the Brest treaty.
Just before It close'd, Mr. Robins said
he was sitting on tho steps of the
platform upon -which Loniue. was
soatod, and Lenlne asked him thero
if any word had como from tho alllod
governments. When he replied . iu
the negative, Lonlno said: .
"I shall ask the ratification of the
Brest treaty." '
In tho end, the congress ratifiod
tho treaty.
When tho Bolshevik! propaganda
began to weaken' the, morale of tho
German armies, Mr. Robins said, tho
Germans financed and organized tho
Hussian anarchists to hamper the
Bolshevlkl, and ho added that tho
anarchists were responsible for most
of the agitation unfavorable to tho .
allies and America. One of the Ger
man agents, he testified, was a for
mer Mrs. Proctor ot Cincinnati. '
