the relative influence of the
various political parties which brought.
about the downfall of Nicholas IL in
Russia last March, very few references
have been made TO. the cooperative
movement which co0rdinates the .nflu-
ence Of 100000 Russians.
Although the All-Russan Coopera-
tive Congress was a powerful factor in
supporting the Kerensky regime and
is to-day one of the moving forces in
Russia for stable. democratic govern
ment. its vast political and economic
power is practically unrecognized in
America.
The reason for this, according to sir.
NJ. Fainberg. Who is the Russian rep
resentative in New York City of the
recently opened purchasing agency Of
the Moscow Narodny (Peoples) Bank,
is because the cooperative system has
not yet taken q very strong hold on
American life. Yet the influence of
cooperation in Russia to-day is not
merely economic; it is not merely
political--it reaches into practically
every phase Of national life, social.

in the fields of economies and politics.
And it is because of this fact that its
influence is so persuasive and SO strong.
