What may be considered as one of the most important developments _in connexion with Russian Far Eastern affairs has just come to light. The form it takes is an appeal of a somewhat revolutionary character by the Russian students ~at Vladivostok to students elsewhere.
'The letter and the reply by the Students' Union are in part as follows Comrades—Students of all nations:—-With feelings of deepest joy we inform you that in the (Russian) Far East under the blows of the people's indignation, the power of those who by every possible means tried to suppress the free voice of the people has collapsed.
The time is near when all Russia will be free from violators of the people's will, violators who hide under the banner of national revival and at the same time commit all manner of brigandage and murder.
Unfortunately these pitiful re-mants of the regime which is disappearing—all these Koltchaks, Denikins, Yudenitches, who are trying to play a role as Napoleons in the Russian revolution, are supported by the imperialistic governments of your various countries.
England is responsible for Koltchak's advent. Japan is support: ing the hated Ataman brigands. Many other governments are helping them.
The Allied intervention, which has become the obstacle to the free expression of national will aiming to bring all Russia together, is creating widespread indignation.
Fiorina tag ForeiGNer, Wo extend our friendly hand to the Chinese students who are form: ing the vanguard of protectors of the rights of their motherland, who are fighting to the last against the foreigners who are suppressing the voice of the people.
Demand of your governments most resolutely the recalling of their troops from Russian territory (this applies especially to Japanese students) and form a solid foundation for the construction of a new life in which the wish of a free people will be above all else.
The partisan war against the executioners of the Russian revolution has taught every Russian how to handle a machine-gun and the students with all the people, when it proves necessary, will go with arms in their hands for the defence of their rights. "Tong live the coming mural construction of a new free life."
