EXTRACT OF THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE
OF THE CADET PARTY CONCERNINC AILIED INTER-
VENTION IN RUSSIA.

"We never recognized the conditions of the Brest-Litovek
peace and consider that the disastrous situation in which they
have placed Russia can only be ameliorated with the aid of the
Allies.

The movement of the Germans on Russian soil, their per-
petual seizure of new regions still continues and there seems
to be no limit to such occupation. Under such conditions we cannot
restrain from appealing to our Allies to whom we have frequently
given proof of the loyalty of our feelings.

We proclaim our conviction that the appearance of a new
powerful factor on the scene of struggle undoubtedly will have
a decisive bearing on the issues of the war and on the conditions
of peace.

We can assure in the most conclusive manner that the in-
formation picturing that the Russian democracy does not approve
of Allied aid is false. If such information has reached the
President of the United States it must originate from Bolshevik
sources. The Bolsheviki in no way are representative of the
Russian democracy. Their regime, a fictitious rule of democracy,
is really oligarchy, demogosy and despotism, which at the present
moment relies only on physical force and daily becomes more and
more odious to the popular masses.
