The Douma's Land Programme.

Aue ALhuu IrOSramnle
When the cars spokesman before
the douma, in answer to the demands
of the Constitutional Democrats. de.
scribeu their programme for land dis.
tribution as Il sweeping denial OF the
right of private ownership not only OF
land, but of every other kind OF prop
and salumny. The ont and out social
lists aaNe some power in Russia ami
are not without voice in the national
assembly. But as a matter of fact the
land programmes framed 10y the Con
s%titutional Democrats TO meet the
needs of the peasants. which Premier
Goremykin seems to have confused
with that of the Social Democrats -
who have been promising evcrything
in sight to the ignorant muiiks- goes
no further in the way OF contiScution
thar does the Wyndlam land purchase
act now working in Ireland. 1t is Il
logical conclusion to the peasant eman
cipation and amelioration begun by
Alexander II. and merely aims to OK
tend the application of the measures
of relief instituted by the murdered
car.
1t is not proposed by the ruling ele-
ment in the douma to contiScate, but to
lease % and other lands. In their
address to the throne the representa-
tives said, parliament would not be
doing its duty if it did not make a law
for the satisfaction of the needs of the
suffering peasants by the aid of crow
domains, monaStic lands and the COM
pulsory appropriation Of land belong
ing to the owners of estates" The
crown and church lands We're to be
leased and appropriation applied only
to lands lying untitled or now leased
for money or occupied by peasants who
pay rental for it by work on the sep
arate property Of their landlords. Land
so taken from the ownerS must be paid
for very much as Lincoln proposed a
compulsory sale to the nation for
manumission of the slaves at the be-
ginning of the war.
The dOuma's land programme Spe-
cially eEempts from appropriation pri-
vate estates not exceeding in extent
the limit fixed in any given district for
peasant occupiers; also grazing lands
belonging to villages, municipal lands
and estates of zemstvos, educational
and benevolent institutions. This plan
would not make war upon individual
ownership, rs the premier charged, but
would strengthen it by defining in law
the principle and extent of, individual
ownership. The programme of the
Russian socialists is sweeping and
promises the peasants free land-that
is, on, paper, but the peasants them
selves seem to consider it Il wild
scheme, impossible of realization. The
truth is that the land programme of
the douma seems to outside view high
" conscientious and conservative in
stead of radical and sweeping. The
land is there, and starving peasants
need it. II is one thing to tell them to
seize it and quite another thing for
the government to acquire it and dis
tribute it by due process of national
law, having regard for the greatest
good of the greatest number"
