Stranica 81 - We cannot recognize, hold official relations with, or give friendly reception to the agents of a government which is determined and bound to conspire against our institutions; whose diplomats will be the agitators of dangerous revolt; whose spokesmen say that they sign agreements with no intention of keeping them.
Stranica 60 - And be it further Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Honorable Harry S.
Stranica 61 - The CHAIRMAN. Without objection they will be inserted in the record. (The documents referred to are here printed in full, as follows:) OLD BENNINGTOIT, VT., January 2.'i, 1921.
Stranica 12 - Hid. houses and other property; the control of large scale industry has passed out of the hands of those who were formerly at the head of it. Large masses of the town population are now enjoying a share of the available national wealth (including house accommodation) greater than they enjoyed before; and new possibilities of life and culture are opening out before them; and this is true in a very special degree of the child population. Social equalisation is, indeed, far from complete. There are...
Stranica 72 - Having accepted this forcibly imposed treaty (BrestLitovsk), revolutionary Russia of course had to accept its second article which forbade " any agitation against the state and military institutions of Germany." But both the Russian Government as a whole and its accredited representative in Berlin never concealed the fact that they were not observing this article and did not intend to do so.
Stranica 54 - Russia and demand that all military, material, financial, and moral support be withdrawn forthwith from all those elements engaged in direct or indirect war upon Russia ; and be it further Resolved, That we demand that the State Department take immediate steps to remove all obstacles to trade with Russia, to establish communication by post, cable, and wireless, to restore the right to travel between the United States and soviet Russia, and to permit the transfer of funds from Russia to be used in...
Stranica 13 - ... consisting of members of the Communist Party. The main reason given for these methods of government is the dangerous situation created by foreign attacks, and the maintenance and encouragement of internal conspiracy by foreign agents. An overwhelmingly "strong" government is thought to be necessary, because the mass of the people, though passively supporting the Soviet government, are not yet sufficiently "conscious" to be immune from counter-revolutionary influences.
Stranica 72 - ... experienced' opportunists have to be replaced by ordinary rank and file workers. 3. In practically every country of Europe and America the class struggle is entering the phase of civil war. In these circumstances communists can have no confidence in bourgeois legality. They are obliged everywhere to create a parallel illegal organization which at the decisive moment will help the party to do its duty to the revolution. In all those countries where, because of a state of siege or of emergency...
Stranica 26 - Peace now and at once—that is the great need of Russia and of the world, and in the name of the humanity of the world, we call upon our nation to insist that peace be made now and Europe be allowed to turn from the terrible spectres of war, famine, and disease to a rebuilding of its homes and a reshaping of its shattered civilisation. Russia can give much to us from her natural resources, and Russia needs much from us. To pursue a policy of blockade and intervention is madness and criminal folly...
Stranica 10 - We feel it necessary to begin by pointing out that most accounts of Soviet Russia which we had seen in the capitalist press of our own country proved to be perversions of the facts. The whole impression gained was of a different character from that presented by these accounts. We did not see any violence or disorder in the streets, though we walked about them freely at all hours of the day and night. We did not see people fall dead of starvation in the streets. We did not see any interference with...
