Tseretelli, Plekhanov,
Tshcheidze, and their co-workers are men of great courage, high ideals, and
personal integrity. On the other hand their successors in power are men of
a totally different type. The integrity of many of their number has been
openly questioned, the accusations, published & broadcast, remained
unanswered, and no suit for libel was brought by the men thus accused.
Lenine was put under suspicion of having accepted German help and of having
planned with Germany's agents the disorganization of the Russian army.
It has been even charged on apparently good evidence that the leaflets
distributed at the front were printed with German money. Trotzky was
accused by Miliukov in the _Rech_ (June 7) of having received $10,000 from
German-Americans for the purpose of organizing the attack on Kerensky's
government. Ganetsky was forced to leave Denmark by an order of the Danish
government, having been convicted of dishonest dealings in a Danish court.
Zinoviev is accused of forgery. Others are also under suspicion which has
been only increased by the arrest and imprisonment of Burtzev who is known
for his untiring efforts to hunt down traitors to the cause of the Russian
Revolution and who had important evidence in his possession. It is also a
remarkable fact that the majority of the present leaders are known
broadly only under assumed names.
