THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

understand the great mission of the Russian Revolution. Do not drive Russia to despair by your cold scepticism. Do not isolate Russia. Draw nearer to Russian democracy and co-operate with her in isolating German Junkerdom and pan-Germanism."

The Russian Revolution is a potent weapon. It is capable of being thrust like a wedge into German unity and of destroying that "burgfrieden" upon which German morale depends. Unity of the Allies on such a single moral front is the best means, and perhaps the only means, of bringing about a speedy decision and an early and satisfactory peace.
