THE CASE OF GORkY
RADICAL PRESS OF RUSSIA AT-
 TACkS AMERICA.
The Treatment the Author Has Re- ceived in the United States Is Made the Text for Severe
 DenunciatiOns.

St. Petersburg, April 21.--Throughout the week the newspapers have made features of numerous letters and ar- ticles in denunciation of the treat ment Maxim Gorky has received in the United States. some of them stizmatizing Americans as pharisees and fat swine, and denouncing them for the hypocritical adherence to con- ventionalities.
 The Twentieth Century, formerly the Russ. sneeringly remarked that the Americans were touched by Gorky's tribute to the Bronze Idol" of liberty in New York harbor, but were terribly offended when he attempted to place his ideas of liberty into practice. The paper declared that every book of Mark Twain. whom Russians previously have esteemed, hereafter will be branded as shameful hypocrisy, because he join- ed the prosecutors of the defender of the rights of man., It also severely criticises Gorky for presenting excuses for his action to- the. country of ,Bour- geoise."
 Next to the Gorky incident, the rad fcal papers have been filled with at- tacks upon foreign countries for fur- nishing funds to the Russian govern ment in the present crisis, declaring that these will only enable the gov ernment to continue its war against ths liberties of the people. Some of the newspapers are seriously undertaking campaign in favor of boycotting goods from France and other countries which participated in the loan.
