"_January 6, 1918._--To-day we had the first discussions with the Ukrainian delegates, all of whom were present except the leader.

The Ukrainians are very different from the Russian delegates.

Far less revolutionary, and with far more interest in their own country, less in the progress of Socialism generally.

They do not really care about Russia at all, but think only of the Ukraine, and their efforts are solely directed towards attaining their own independence as soon as possible.
