Professor Isidor Loeb of the Pol
teal Science Department of the
University of Missouri believes that
the present internal disturbance in
Russia is due to political eOndi-
tiOns rather than to economic
aud social conditions. Certain re-
forms, he says, were begun by
Alexander IL in 1861. Among
these were the emancipation of the
serfs, the liberation of the press,
and the establishment of limited
local self-government. An attempt
upon Alexander's life in 1867 made
him distrustfulOf reform movements
aud enabled the bureaucracy to get
control of the government again.
The ahueo ~ this control is the
