The following is from a statem -nt
by Mr. Sack who is American cor
respondent for the Minister of Fin
ance in Russia and also head of tie
Bureau of Russian Information, it
therefore quite authoritative and |
throws a strong light on a real dark
spot, thanks to the “efficiency" of j
the capitalist news agencies which |
leave carefully concealed the real
facts from the American public: j
“It is interesting to compare the!
news from Russia, as given by the |
American press, with the contents:
of Russian papers which I receive j
now almost every other day. 1 saw ;
in the New York World a cartoon!
which probably enlightens the situa-!
tion. It shows a German crowd J
watching the kaiser. who writes
down on a wall for them news from
the United States. I should say
tha the kaiser, as far as his pub
licity work is concerned, has a very
easy job.
"it is sometimes the easiest
thing in the world to pick out the
most sensational news. I would
also say. without any desire to of
fend American journalists, that the.
publicity work of the kaiser
events in the United States reminds
me of publicity work ot American
journalists on the great event-- in
Russia.
“ ‘Anti-Conscription Riots in the
United States'—W - Know very well
ihat there were such riots are not
know also that these riots are not
the characteristics of Ameiican po
litical life. 'Anarchist Riots in i'e
trograd," report the American jour
nalists now working fr Russia, with
out mentioning that while a few
< iazy people .naien with black 'lags
in Petrograd. all the rest of the
country supports the half-Soeialist
government, which at the present
moment is strong enough to sup
press any anarchist movement, it it
desired to do so.
“If the American journalists in
Petrograd possessed more under
standing of their responsibility in
such a critical moment, not only
toward Russia, which is ait ally of
the United States, but also toward
the United States, their own coun
try, the Russian situation would
be presented to the American pub
lic in an entirely different light.
“Not long ago, when Secretary of
War Kerenski made a speech in
Moscow, addressing a large meeting
of officers and soldiers telling them
about their duty to defend the coun
try and to start an offensive, lie
fainted in the middle of his speech.
One of his assistants explained then
that Kerenski had not slept for a
week, working day and night on
the reconstruction of the Russian
military forces. I would say that
Kerenski, in that respect, as in
many other respects, is a symbol of
Russia at the present moment.
“Russia is working day and night
building up organizations which
will make it possible for the provi
sional government to arrange all in
ternal affairs, solve transportation
and food problems, and regenerate
the power of the Russian army. The
Russian papers are full of reporis
of conferences and congresses alt
over Russia. The workingmen, tin
railroad men, the soldiers, the peas
ants, the teachers, the nationalities,
all these elements are growing in
organization every day.
“This constructive work of the
Russian revolution, work full of
enthusiasm and of immense signi
ficance, not only for Russia, but
for the whole world ,is entirely un
refiected in the cables received here
by the American press.
“The main fact in the Russian
political situation at the present
moment is that Socialists are now
in almost full control in Russia.
The Socialist leaders in Russia art.
responsible leaders and great
statesmen. They express frankly
the desire of the Russian democracy
to shorten the war as much as
possible. On the other hand, under j
their leadership the Russian dem
ocracy. which is aganst any forcible
aimoxitions. is against punitive in
demnities. and proclaims the right
for every nationality to decide its
own destiny, will fight with the j
greatest vigor until not a single i
soldier is left on the allied terri- |
tories, until Belgium, the northern
provinces of France, Russian Po- ;
land, Serbia and Rumania are full}
restored.
•‘The signiiicanse of the Stockholm
conferem c, which will take place
on July y, will be that the recon
structed Internationale will pre
sent an ultimatum to the German
democracy: Either German demo
cracy will force the imperial Ger
man government to accept an imme
diate peace on the three principles
proclaimed by the Russian demo
cracy, or. if the German govern
ment refuses to consent, it will
start an immediate revolution in
Germany.
'Should this plan fail, the allied
democracies will see that Germany
is united in the tendency for domi
nation in Europe, and they will
start the greatest offensive in this
war. In this offensive the Russian
denfoi ratic troops, answering the
call of such prominent leaders as
Kercnski and other Socialist mem
bers of the present Russian govern
ment, will participate with the
greatest vigor.
"Recent Russian papers shed ad
ditional light on the main figures
in Russian political life. First
place among them belongs indeed
to A. F. Kerenski. About six weeks
ago there was a railroad congress
in Petrograd in which the present
secretary of ways of communication,
X. V. Nekrasov, participated.
“When Kerenski appeared at the
congress, cheered by the assembly,
the secretary of ways of communi
cation said:
“ ‘Allow me, as an older Com
rade, to address myself in vour
name to my colleague in the min
istry, Kerenski, and to tell him
that we railway men know what
Kerenski means for the Russian
revolution. 1 say this, not only be
cause I have the great honor of
being his fridnd, but because I have
seen him during the days of strug
gle—because I know what he
has done for the Russian revolu
tion.
“Citizens’ everybody can be for
gotten, every one’s role can be ef
faced, but Kerenski will never be
forgotten by Russia. There is
much that cannot be divulged yet.
History will tel! it later. We only
know that the real ienter of the
movement, its actual fermenting
spirit, the one who raised the flag
ol the revolution in the Duma, was
Kerenski; he was also the first to
see the enormous responsibility, be
fore history and before the nation
and the first to shoulder the mon
strous load.
“ ‘Citizens, for ns Kerenski is not
a minister, not even a popular tri
Du ue; he may even eease to he a
human being—lie Is the symbol of
democracy. Kerenski’s presence in
tiic cabinet appears to me to sym
bolize tlie fact that over (lie pro
visional government hovers the
hand of democracy. Permit me to
take here before you the oath of
Hannibal that Kerenski will not re
main alone in the cabinet; that 1,
your minister, strong in your trust
and appreciating my responsibility
fit lore you, will always go hand in
hand with your Comrade end my
Comrade—Kerenski
“Thunderous and prolonged ip
pluiise followed,
“Kerenski, after paying tribute to
the important role played tiy the
railroad men in overthrowing the
old regime, assured the audience
that the prov sional government, as
well us the Council of Workmen’s
and Soldiers Delegates, wen do'ng
everything to fortify and stabilize
the democratic form of government
He said:
" ‘Comrades, carrying out the will
of the people, the provisional gov
ernment has cast aside, with refer
ence to the war, the entire old pro
gram, all aims of annexations, con
quests and acquisitions lia\e been
discarded once for all. At the same
time, the provisional government,
as well as the nation, will prove
that we are doing this, not because
of weakness, but because it is our
will to do so. The Russian demo
cracy will take first place in Eu
rope, not humbled and weakened,
bur mighty and proud in lnr great
ness. We want it to be so, and
there is nothing that can prevent
this will of the Russian people.
“ ‘We are told of the danger of
a counter-revolution; we are .yarn
ed of the necessity of some special
action with regard to the represen
tatives of the old government and
the old regime. As minister of jus
tice, as a Socialist, and your Com
rade, I will make answer to this:
We have no one and nothing to
fear. I know that Socialism is
worship of labor; it is adoration ot
the human being. We fight for the
old regime, but we do not persecute
individuals that have been already
humbled, have sufficiently suffered,
and are already in the mire of con
tempt of the Russian people. 1
trust. Comrades, that the Russian
democracy will for the first time
compel the whole world to respect
the principles of freedom, equality
and fraternity, the principles ot
Socialism. The world will then see
that a real fundamental democratic
rule, thoroughly deliberated and in
troduced from top to bottom, will
not only safeguard the interests of
the working people, but will raise
the standard of the free individnal
i'v of man to unassailable
heights.”
Ml NY BRITISH SALOONS
TAKE THE FINAL COUNT
LONDON". July 2.— -Thirty thou
sand British saloons probnoly will
he closed within the next few
months.
English brewers themselves have
suggested a sweeping measure on
these lints as the solution of diffi
culties arising from the restricted
output of beer. .At present, they
say, there are far too many dis
tributing agencies, a third of which
could be put out ot business with
out inconveniencing the public,
while trade would be carried on
more economically.
England must quench its thirst j
on ten milion barrels of beer a year !
or go thirsty, under the recent gov-j
ernment restrictions: and the i
brewers are hurrying to meet the l
contingency.
In the rural districts, instead of
three breweries competing lor bus
iness in one locality through thirty
saloons. twenty of them will be
discontinued and one joint firm will
supply all the beer to the ten.
