PUBLISHER'S NOTE.

The brochure which we present to the reader was written by a man who only yesterday was our adversary. By his origin, inclinations, and past career, as journalist of a French „conservative“ newspaper, M. Rene Marchand was made to be our enemy. He was our enemy, right up to the day when he thoroughly learned the ins and outs of Entente politics in Russia, understood what treacherous weapons were being put into use against us,—until he saw the birth, and, growth of the work of the Soviets and understood what we want. The Communist International publishes this testimony of a man of good faith and good intentions led by the evidence of facts from bourgeois patriotism to Communism.
