RUSSIAN REFORMER
TELLS OF SITUATION
IN REALM OF CAR

Paul MilyoukOy, Russian reformer,
and a leader in the "intellectualists"
liberal party, who Eas exiled few
years ago for his lectures at the Uni
versities of Moscow and Sofia against
the autocracy. has written his views
on the present situation in Russia in
a book, Russia and It's Crisis" the
advance sheets of which were issued
from the University Of Chicago press
The book, for the most part, is an
exposition of the causes Of the pres
ent crisis, but the asthor sums up the
situation by declaring the forces Of OPP
position "still are not strong enough
TO replace the government by 6 vio-
lent overthrow"
Prof. Milyoukov writes:
political reform-this now is the
general cry Of all shades Of political
opinion in Russia. But is this only
an opinion? Are there no interests,
no organizations, ready to fight for po-
litical freedom? Are there no impell-
ing forces to extort it from a reluctant
government?
1--WE have found the answer In the
present situation. Yes, the impelling
forces are there, and they are two
fold; the material crisis and the po
liticaI disaffection. Russia is passing
through a crisis; she is i'll; and her
illness is so grave as to demand imme-
date and radical cure Palliatives
can be of no use; rather, they only
increase the gravity Of the situation.
To pretend all is right in Russia, ex-
cept for few I'll intentioned' persons
who are making all the fuss, is no
longer ridiculous, it is criminal.
Increased and united as they are,
the forces Of opposition still are not
strong enough to replace the govern
ment by a violent overthrow. But
they are strong enough to make the
use Of violence continuous, and by In
creasing this to preclude any further
peaceful work of civilization.
Russia wants a political represent
ltion and guarantees of what are
called the fundamental rights Of in
0lNlNudlll1 VI DtAAtl anu Vi
speech, the right Of association and
public meetings, libersy Of the press
strict regime Of the law, and the
free course Of justice. which implies
the repeal Of arbitrary edicGs and reg
uIations, the abolition Of extraol dinary
tribunals. and last, but not least,
habeas corpus act--security from arbi- |
trary arrest and domiciliary search.
Comparing Japan with Russia the
professor says:
"Things that with us took centuries |
to pass away in Japan appear to have
been crowded into short space or
time. Now, one Of the consequences
of this rapidity Of progress is that
the anoA4ht tradition Of Japan, as it
we're, Had not time to die out. and has
kept enough OF It's vitality to be able
to enter Into some degree OF cobbina-
tfon with the elements Of new life and
culture.
.'One explanation of the difference
may be that society In Japan is not 50
much democratized as in Russia 1t
may be that It is not so much demand
