THIRD E E UNFAIR, UNWISE Raymond Robins Says Russians Want Bolshevlklsm and Are En titled to It Discredits Stories of Massacres In Reign of Terror- Menace of Democracy. WASHINGTON, Mnr. 7. Inter vention In Ilusslu was condemned by Raymond Kohlns, formor head of the American Itod Cross mission In that country, testifying today before the annuls coianilttco Investigating law less propaganda, as unfulr to the Itiisslans and unwlno from tho stand point of tho. United States and the allien. Mr. Ilohlns said American soldiers and munitions should not be used to crush a revolution which, he declared represented tho wishes of the Rus sian peoplo. It was his opinion that Intervcn Hon would solidify Russian factions In support of tho Holshovlk govern ment, strengthen Dolshevlk tenden cies In England and France and ma terially assist In laying a ground work for the spread of radical doc trines In this country. - ItiMxInns Wniit Holsliovlxm Recognition of the Bolshevik gov ernment was advised against, but tho wltnots ropoatod that If the Russians wnntod Bolshovlsm thoy should have It; and ho gave It as bis opinion that tho Russians did want It. At tho sumo time he roitoratod his belief that 'Bolshevism constituted the grentost monace that had ever threat ened the domocratlc governments ot tho world.- ' . , . Mr. Itoblns donled statements by previous witnesses that Russian peas ants had no arms and were unable to overthrow Lenlne and Trotsky. As a matter of fact, he said, thore were 12,000,000 rides available In Russia and many of tho communities and towns possessed machine guns. Responding to quostlons by Sona tor Nelson, tho witness - said he agroed that Intervention should be rosortea to it u was true laai mou snnds wore being slaughtered In a Holshovlk reign of lorror, but ho en lored a plea agaliiBt such action be ing taken simply because thore was a prejudice nnd lack of understanding of what he claimed to be the actual conditions In. Russia. Illumes tVoclioSluvs ' The witness 'thought the Russian people could got rid of Lenlne and Trotsky at any time they desired. Mr. Robins emphatically denied thnt the Bolshovlsts had treacherous ly attacked the Ciacho-Slovak forces aftor the lattor had been disarmed. He said tho conflicts grow, out ot de signs which had not boon "laid on the tablo" and In this connection declar ed he know that France had tried to koep the Czocho-Slovaks In Russia after-, offering to assist In getting them out, as a means of overthrowing tho revolution "nt any cost." He charged that Czocho-Slovaks took Bolshevist villages and shot some Bolshevlkl without trials. ROME, Mnr. 7.
