And We Have Their
Counterparts Right Here
In the United States

To the average American the Russian
situation is inexplicabe.
That a nation engaged in world war
should abandon the battle against the in
vader to indulge in the luxury Of civil con-
flict is to them unbelievable.
He is inclined to dismiss the Russians
as yellow" or to attribute the whole sit
uation to an outbreak Of national insan-
ity, helped along by liberal doses Of Ger
man gold
That German gold in great sums has
been spent to bring about national disor-
ganization in Russia is true.
But the situation that makes it possible
for Germany's agents to spend money
proftably in the former empire Of the
car was not created by bribery.
On the contrary, it is due to a perfectly
understandable conflict between two radi-
cally opposed groups.
In Russia there are a multitude of
political parties. but the three chief divi-
sions are the Bolshevild, the Socialists
and the Social Democrats.
The first named are the most extreme
radicals. They want immediate peace,
distribution of all lands and immediate
institution of the brotherhood of man. by
parliamentary edict.
They have attracted to themselves all
the disturbing elements Of the empire.
They might be compared to the Amer
lean l. w. w. with liberal mixture Of
Greenwich village higher-lifers and So
cialists of the Hillquit-Max Eastman
type.
These people win listen to no practical
objections, but are determined TO put
their theories in effect at once regard
less Of material considerations. Their
leader, Nicholai Lenine, is believed to BE-
In the pay of Germany.
The Socialists, Kerensky's party, sub
scribe to many Of the Utopian ideals OF
the Bolshevild, but belle that the max
ing over of the world must be process
of evolution.
Essential TO the free working out OF
that process, they believe, is the defeat
of Germany. with her imperialistic am
billions.
The Social Democrats ARE FOR the most
part professional men, the well-to-dc
merchants and men of some wealth
They are a trihe less radical than the
Socialists, just as The regular Repubh-
cans in this country are more cOnserya-
tive than the Bull Moosers.
Now the last named groups, being mer
Of sense, have combined against the
fanaticism Of the Bolshevih
But because the Bolsheviki PLAN with
It's free distribution Of land and It's doc.
trines Of brotherhood, appeal to the I'M.
lettered masses more strongly than tn,
voice Of reason. they are having a HARD
time.
Germany. too. is sparing no means {,
boost the Bosheviki
What the outcome viii be, only th,
future can hell.
