A n Interesting and Highly
n Significant Correspondence

My personal correspondence with 5,5O6
persons (of whom 968 are women) living
in all parts Of Russia, including Siberia,
reveals the fact that IS per cent OF my
correspondents, who were for the most
part peasants, workingmen, soldiers, clerks
and people of various semi-intellectual pro-
LESSONS, adopted socialism as their funda-
mental thesis. Their letters, resembling
confessions, and some of them Of very
considerable length, give very good pct
ure of the spirit of Russia. Most fire.
quently they show their Socialist tendencies
without being aware of it; their reasoning
leads them to socialism.
Basing my opinion on my careful study
of the $4,000 letters received by me since
1911, and of the 5000 autobiographies Of
Russian peasants and workmen which l
have collected between the years Of 1889
end 1905, am able to state with certainty
that Socialist ideas have taken deep root
in the Russian masses, deeper root even
than in tho West. They have pervaded
even the illiterates. They have passed into
folklore" They have assumed the form

Our ideals, our aims, are one and the

of these Japanese papers and Jlngoists
retorted to the utterances and publica-
tons of their confreres on this side of the
Pacific by words which, l can assure you,
were far from representing the sane and
sound opinion Of the japanese people.
The respectable and influential papers Of
Japan, however, remained undisturbed
and simply ignored the extravaganzas of
American yellow journalism as vagaries
of dreamers or mischievous tricks Of
newsmongers, for they have clear in
sight into the business policy of some
American papers to secure wide circu-
lation and the inside workings of Ameri-
can politics. The responsible press of
Japan has, further, never wavered in its
profound faith that the best interests of
America and Japan lie in their perfect
mutual understanding, and has, conse-
quently, never stopped to play the dirty
trick Of furthering its private interest at
the expense of the public veal So much,
then, for a resume of the mutual atti-
tude Of the American and japanese press
during the past decade.
The extraordinary march Of events
since the outbreak Of the war has COM
pletely altered the situation. America
and Japan are now brothers in arms fight
ing against a common foe. America
enemy is Japan's; Japan's enemy is Amer
ica's. This fact is daily becoming i'm
pressed upon the public. The League Of
National Unity, recently organized and
Endorsed by the President, has the fol-
lowing in a plank Of its platform:
while this war lasts, the cause of the
Allies is our cause. We, there
fore, deprecate the exaggeration Of old
national prejudices-often stimulated BY
German propagands-and nothing is
more important than the clear under

attack our present allies attack America"

By Nikolai Rubakin

TT is a big mistake to imagine tha1
Socialist ideas are current in Russia
- only among people belonging TO the
intellectual classes and that they have not
taken root among the popular masses. My
studies of the mental and spiritual life OF
the Russian people, to which have de-
voted myself from 1889 to 1917, warrant
nv stating with certainty that Russia is
the most socialistic country In Europe
That elaborate police machinery Of the old
regime was necessary to mask the trurh'
Socialist ideas have penetrated deep into
the laboring classes; they have established
themselves in the minds Of the peasants IN
the most remote villages, and all the work
ingmen in the factories believe in them
The first two Dumas contained consld-
cradle number OF Socialist preachers.
Since 1870 many intellectual Socialist
leaders have risen from the ranks OF the
nobility and the bourgeoisie. Lenlne'
kerenskv and Tchernoif came from there
as well as anarchists like Tolstoy, kro-
notkin and Bakunin. A great number OF
newspapers and reviews ceased to conceal
their Socialist physiognomy as soon as the
censorship gave the press more liberty.
They have been initiated by newspapers
of a commercial character which willingly
or unwillingly had to please the mass OF
their readers.
Political parties, which before the revo-
luton had never sided with the Socialists,
have now aligned themselves with the Left
The Laborites (Trudoviks), for example,
have openly declared themselves Social
lists. and the leader Of the Cadets, Pro-
lessor Kisewetter, writes that his party
regards as inevitable rapprochement be-
tween the Cadets and the Socialist cur
rents of the Russian public spirit" and that
bis party undertakes to defend the in
terests of the working masses not only IN
the name Of class theology, but in the name
Of the general interests Of the state and
the nation"

to create new portfolio Of immigration
and colonization; also new permanent
committee of the Cabinet for the effective
prosecution of the war, and other perma-
nent committees on similar lines.
Commenting upon this programme the
Canadian press has been very widely ex-
pressing approval.
"The Ottawa Journal" for example,
said:
Judged from the most critical viewpoint,
the Union governments first manifesto to the
nation must be regarded as platform upon
which every Canadian who believes IN for
ward looking legislation and who wants to
see his country stay in the war can safely
stand. It is doubtful If ever before in this
country there has been given TO the public
platform which, holding forth the war as
the supreme challenge to national effort,
enunciated such a splendid programme OF
constructive legislation. And, what is equal
". if not more, important, no party or gov
eminent in the past has ever been vested with
the power which Union gives to the present
administration to translate into action the
progressive policies which the platform pro-
claims"

Ancient Prophecies Which

u prophecies recently published bg
an Italian priest, Giuseppe Ciuffa quote
from it one prophecy which is remarksbls
for the striking precision with which 4
forecasts many events Of the present wa
and which, according to Giuseppe Ciufia,-
had been made by Fra Giovanni about The
year 1900.
The prophecy reads:
"The real Antichrist will be p monarch b

himself a messenger Of God.
"a war will give him an opportunity b
unmask himself, a war which Will not begin

but his acts will take for their patterns thoss
of Nero and Of the Roman prosecutors. As

his acolyte, also a monarch, will likewise have
an eagle.
Under his standards there will be people
from the most distant countries, Christians
and Mahometans. -
"At first the nations will be in despair
but soon the angels will bring them light
and they will understand that he is Anti

unless they crush him.
"He will have pity for no one; he win
massacre priests, monks, women, old ms

than It ought to be in reality, 1t is insig-
nifcant when compared to corresponding
f0,,re, in western Europe and to the size
If Russia where the LOO cities Of more
than 1000 inhabitants are lost in the mass
NJ villages as an oasis in de5ert. {.
There were in 1906 about 20,OOO,OOo OF
people living by selling their services. In
this number there were included peasants
working in factories and on the fields OF
landholders. Czarsm always was an
ardent defender of the interests OF manu-
facturers against the demands OF the
working class One realizes this perfectly
we'll on reading the reports of the Official
factory inspectors. For long time
economic strikes had been regarded IN
Russia as political crimes. UP till 1911
any protest on the part OF the working
man was always followed by the inter-
vention of the police in favor of the en-
ployer. AS a result Of this the picture
Of the Gar became confused in the mind
of the Russian workingman with that OF
his master. Furthermore, the economic
conditions of labor and its rewards have
ALWAYS been worse in Russia than in the
West. :.
The evolution Of Russian capitalism has
produced in Russia the same results as
everywhere else. Socialist ideas have
found a very fruitful soil in all the ranks
Of the working classes. Under those cir
cumstances it was impossible that Socialist
propaganda in Russia should not nave
attained results that were unequalled IN
other countries.
In 1881, the peasants were arresting and
persecuting Socialists even in Petrograd
and Moscow. In 1917, the peasants in mill
tary uniforms were hosting the red flag
on the Winter Palace, around which there
rallied the villages, factories and military
barracks of Russia.

agrarlan and labor questions which agi-
tated that country between the years Of
1861 and 1917. The evolution Of the first
of the two questions, which is of singular
importance, as it affects SO to 80 per cent
Of the total population, inevitably resulted
in the diffusion Of agrarian socialism
among the peasants.
The Russian popular conscience has
always opposed the idea Of temporary pos
session of land to that of land ownership.
The form Of government in the Russian
rural commune is based on the notion Of
use, and one Of its principal aims IS the
redistribution Of land among the members
Of the community When in 1907, In order
TO extirpate this idea, Nicholas II tried
under the ministry Of Stolypin to disag-
gregate the rural community, his attempt
failed completely. In 1917, as well as in
1905, the "Union Of Peasants" included
among its members tens of millions of
peasants and covered rural Russia with
d net of organizations. In March, 1917, it
proclaimed agrarian socialism, which is an
essential conception Of the Russian peasant
class. The latter Is now forming POWER
ful Socialist party, such as the world has
never seen, and what Is more important,
is ready to fight for the immediate reali-
cation of its ideal. 1t was on account
of the belief in the realization Of this ideal
that milliors of peasants who had left the
front returned there when they heard the
rumor that their desertion would deprive
them of the right to take part IN the i'm
pending "black distribution"
Like the evolution Of the agrarian ques-
ton, the Russian labor question has also
resulted in the propagation of Socialist
ideas. Russia is still an agricultural coun-
try; she has not yet been industrialized.
The workingmen in Russian factories are,
to considerable extent, peasants and in
dustrial laborers at the same time. They
are spending the winter months in the
factory and are returning in the summer
to the tilling of their land.

Nther Papers Also Have Been
" Discussing the Issues

"The Vancouver Province" noting that
the present would seem good time to
take up social and economic resolutions
which are much in the public mind" said
that
"a government which deals with them in a
sane and yet progressive way has the present
advantage Of strong but not hysterical pub
lie sentiment These are matters with which
an administration of both parties is in a
better position to deal than any party minis
try would be. But the main thing is the
war. None Of them should be allowed to d-
vert attention from the first and greatest
duty, which is to provide for the effective
prosecution of our share of the greatest bust
ness before the world"
"The Montreal Star" pointed out that
"the new ministers seem to have deter
mined already on certain features Of domes-
tic policy, showing that they are not as far
apart on domestic questions as some pessi-
mists have been predicting. But the main
job before this war government Is to wage
war. We ought 70 assemble a united nation
behind that programme. There should be no
opposition to such policy"
And "The Toronto News" declared:
THE statement Of policy issued by the
Prime Minister last night provides the Do
minion with a new national charter which Is
a worthy successor Of Magma Charta, Of the
Quebec act, the constitutional act, the British
