Motive to Debate Peace and War Overshadows Early Bolshevik Policy
In Paris Bolshevik Leon Trotzky discussed democratic peace concepts with French Ambassador to Russia Joseph Nowens, claiming the people should decide self-determination while warning that a German aggression would force a revolutionary war. He suggested a constituent assembly would settle the question if public opinion opposed war, and warned that the Bolsheviks could face anarchy if Russia’s crisis worsened. The note asserts no new relations between the Maximalist government and others. Governor Hunt waits for Camp Campbell to transfer executive duties in Phoenix, with court action likely upcoming as officials resign.
