"Looking Seaward Again"
Walter Runciman
Just as we have only one counterpart for your denial of the suffrage reform, for the continuance of the exceptional laws, for your refusal of any interior reform, namely the political ignorance and animosity against the people of the Government of the Czar, so this action against my friend Luxemburg is a counterpart to the arrest of the Russian DUMA Deputies, our admired and excellent friends in the struggle for the freedom of the people and for the restoration of the peoples' peace, trying in common with us to serve,-each in his own country,-in universal opposition against its own government, for the benefit of its own people and the good of the other people, the good of the international proletariat, the good of humanity.
