Страница 105 - Government is supported by an immense majority of the nation, and, outside of reactionaries only, is being opposed by comparatively small groups of extremists and internationalists. As to foreign policy, Russia's national program has been clearly set forth in the statement of the Provisional Government of March 27 and more explicitly in the declaration of the new Government of May 18.
Страница 57 - ... democracies make no mistakes. All free assemblies have made blunders; sometimes they have committed crimes. Why is it, then, that we look forward to the spread of free institutions throughout the world, and especially among our present enemies, as one of the greatest guaranties of the future peace of the world?
