AMERICAN COMMUNISM.
LONDON, May 1l.-Dispatches from America
reporting apprehensions of a communistic out
break, are attracting attention. The general
opinion is that it will be the worse for the COM
munists. The Times on the subject, concludes
as follows: If, as we will not anticipate, the
United States is destined to go through a social
crisis of this kind, we shall doubtless hear
again, as we used to hear fifteen years ago, d
good deal about tho evil effects Of democratic
institutions. IT, however, it is the weakness of
institutions like those of America to give
tolerant encouragement to all sorts of expert
ments in the social and political organization,
it has strength to be able to survive them.
to profit by their success and to be little worse
for their failure. The fabric of American So
ciety is strong it can sustain with little or
with no injury shocks which would be fatal to
weaker and more effete constitutions. In the
United States freedom of discussion is the
safety valve through which a great deal
capes. Americans have political sagacity
enough to distinguish sharply between intern
perate or revolutionary speech and rebellious
action They have unbounded federation for
thence for the other. We do not doubt that if
they have to deal with dangerous form of
communism, they will deal with it effectively
The social fabric of the United States is as
capable of successfully resisting such attacks
that of any State in the world.
