RUSSIA REAPS
THE WHIRLwINO

When the Bolsheviki seized Petro-
grad they decreeG the destruction OF
capitalism. Capital bowed its head
and disappeared. Lenine tried TO cash
a check for a hundred million rubles,
but the banks had no money for him.
He ordered a distribution of food, but
there was no food. for the machinery
of trade and transportation ceased TO
work with the destruction OF capital
ism. The farmers and grain merchants
of southern Russia refused to ship
foodstuffs on the order of the Bolshe'
Wiki government and Petrograd faces
famine.
Anarchists loot and destroy, but
they do not produce. Even in the
humblest way some capital is prere-
quisite of production. Give penniless
farmer all the land he desires and
he will starve without capital or the
aid of capital. He cannot buy seed
or implements; he cannot support
himself until harvest time: he cannot
sell IL he does produce anything. Cap,
ital must be enlisted if it be only
through TO procure seed, implements
and food for four or five months.
Anarchists say they will seize cap.

When a workman produces something
he becomes a capitalist to the value

The destruction of capitalism decree
