Ambas sador David It. Francis, recently re turned from Kusgia, testified before the senate propaganda committee to day that he was Informed that Ray mond Robins, former head of the American Red Cross mission In Rus sia, had returned to the United States as a courier of the Bolshevik govern ment with a proposal for President Wilson, Offered; Concessions From a source which be regarded as reliable, Mr.'Prancls said be heard tbat Mr. Robins brought documents In which, the Bolshevik leaders of fered under certain conditions to make concessions to the United States similar to those given Ger many by the Brest-Litovsk treaty. In support of this Information, the ambassador told tho committee that he had heard Mr. Robins, as the lat ter was leaving Russia, say to an As sociated Press correspondent that if he could get an hour's conversation with the president he could bring about recognition ot the Bolshevik government. , The ambassador said so far as he knew, Mr. Robins did not get an op portunity to see the president. . Tells of Experiences Mr. Francis went to Russia In March, 1916, and represented., the United States until, the allied and American diplomats departed from territory controlled by the Bolshe vist. He explained that his mission to Russia primarily was to negotiate a new commercial treaty .to replace the one abrogated because of Rus sia's attitude toward traveling Amer ican citizens of Jewish birth. He told how- the foreign minister informed him that no treaties would be nego tiated until Russia's relations with the allies were further defined and how shortly thereafter the conclusion of a treaty between Japan and Russia was announced. The explanation to the American ambassador was that only commercial treaties had been referred to In the conversation with him. . ' Mr. Francis said he found the Germans so strongly entrenched in Russia that they could not have been dislodged In years. Even the war had not broken their control over Russian Industry. Lenine German Agent Mr. Francis said he had not the slightest doubt that Lenine was, from the very beginning, an agent ot the German government. - "The Germans never would have permitted him to come thru Germany had they not known he would be use ful to them," the ambassador de clared. "Moreover, Lenine disbursed large amounts of money. I believe, however, that he was even more con cerned about starting a world-wide revolution than he was about fur thering the interests of Germany. He later not only permitted but encour aged the reign of terror which still prevails In Russia.'' Ambassador Francis said he be lieved Kerensky made his big mistake when he failed to arrest and try for treason both Lenine and Trotzky when they first appeared as factors in the political situation.. He said Lenine actually was the brains of the Bolshevist movement, that he was a fanatic, but at the same time held sincere ideas. Trotzky was described a3 being purely an adventurer, who was dominated by Lenine. Both, he said, were usurpers and did not rep resent ten percent ot the Russian people. . Cause of Korcnsky's Fall The Kerensky . government, the t)N BOARD U. S. S. GTOEGE WASHINGTON, March 8. (By wire less to the Associated Press.) Pres ident Wilson todnv received wireless dispatches from Paris on tho progress being mndo at tho peace conference. Tho voyngo continues to be une ventful. The president today sent n wireless message of sympathy to Mrs. Benjamin Micou of Motgomerv, Ala., daughter of the late Hilary A. Herbertformer secretary of tho navy. The president said : "The countrv has lost a servant who illustrated in the wholo spirit of his Hcrvieo a vcrv high order of pat riotism us well us urcut ability." ambassador asserted In response to questions by Senator King, ; really stood for law and order and did Us best to set up a stable, democratic government. All during the Kerens ky regime, Mr...Prancis said, the bol sheviHts were trying to undermlno the government and they were given considerable assistance by monarch ist advocates and the Black Hundred. These sympathizers with the mon archist idea thought. the Bolshevists could only last a short time and then the entiro revolution could be over thrown In favor of a monarchy. The ambassador said It was upon bis recommendation that he was authorized by the state department to recognize the provisional govern ment after the overthrow of the czar, and he added that he established no relations with the Bolshevik govern ment but advised the state depart ment constantly that the Bolshevists should not be recognized. Doable Object Sought He described the Bolshevists as having two objects In view when they seized the government;, one was to establish what they termed the rnle of the proletariat, and the other was to help the cause ot Germany by forc ing Russia out of the war. , " Mr. Francis said he personally was delighted when the government -of the czar was overthrown. . He added there was as much, difference between-the government of .the Bolshe vists and the Kerensky government as there was between the provisional government' and that of the autoc racy. ' : . ;" : ' '. The ambassador said after he re ceived instructions from the state department tbat no American repre sentative should have any . official connection with the Bolshevist gov ernment. Raymond Robins had gone to the headquarters of the soviet, and asked about the principles of the Bol shevists. ' , - - Robins Approved Bolshevists -' "1 called Robins in," the' ambassa dor went on, "and asked him about his visit to the soviet headquarters. He told me they had told him their principles and said he approved of them : He added, however, that he did not approve of the excesses com mitted b?r the soviet government. I cabled back to the state department and asked whether the instructions included Red Cross men lp Uniform. The department tn response said they did and Davison, head of the Red Cross, was going to instruct Robins to discontinue his relations with the soviet. Robins did receive a cable gram bo instructing him. I told Rob ins I thought It was unwise for him to sever his relations abruptly and moreover, I wanted to know what the Bolshevists were doing. So I cabled Washington along these lines, but never received a reply add Rob Ins continued to go to soviet head quarters. ; . Nationalized Women "Did Robins urge you," asked Sen ator Nelson, "to recognize the Bol shevist government?" "I thought Robins was Importun ing me to recommend that the Bol shevist government be recognized by the United States," replied the am bassador. "I told Robins I would not make guch a recommendation be cause the Bolshevists did not merit even business recognition, because they wore killing everybody that a wore a white collar." The ambassador said ho knew It to be a fact that the Bolshevists In several provinces had nationalized (Continued on Page 8U.) : CONSTANTINOPLE, March 8.
