The Japanese Menace

lHt
The Russian people are more
apprehensive Of the threatened
japanese Intervention than Of tn
German invasion. The struggle
against Japan will be more diff
ficult In Germany there is at
least potential revolutionary
class. In Japan there is abso
lutely no organized element upon
whom the Russian revolution may
depend for aid. Japan has
crushed all the attempts at or
ganization among the workers.
There is hardly any labor move
ment to speak of, and since the
famous trial of 1910, when TWEEN
ty-four Socialists and Anarchists
were sentenced to death and
twelve of the men were hanged,
there was no possibility for any
Socialist movement. In fact.
conditions there are worse than
they ever were in Russia under
the czars. Russian Socialists
know that and they fear Japan
with deadly fear.
Threatened by Japan, they may
be forced into making any bar
gain with Germany. Democratic
France and England used car
istic Russia for protection against
German imperialism. Revolu-
tionary Russia may use Germany
to protect herself against feudal-
istic and autocratic Japan. ALI
ance with Germany will be a
dear price Russia will have to
pay. Under present conditions
she would rather be Germany's
enemy in her own way. 1t is
also better for the rest Of the
world that she remain so.
The counter-revolutionary move
ment of the Russian bourgeoisie
is not menacing any longer. The
Cossack uprisings have all been
put down, with the exception of
the one in Siberia. The threaten
ed Japanese invasion aggravates
the situation there.
With An Eye to the Future
Keeping an eye on the inter
national situation and meeting the
problems at best it can, the So
Wet government is not losing
sight of the social and economic
changes which must be made be-
fore the country can be regener-
ated. With the masses of the
workers and peasantry back of it,
the government can achieve
great deal. If the railroad must
be put in better shape, the gov
eminent appeals to the railway
workers, and the latter are doing
all they can to help solve the
problem. And so on all along
the line.
The Russian government is not
aiming to legislate capitalism out
of existence in the immediate flu
ture. The laws providing for

RUSSIA UNDER
THE S0VIETS

in Pc&rson's Maga2ine)


and Trotzky, you may criticise
the Bolsheviks, but don't you
dare say anything against the
Soviet" This is the retort an
opponent Of the present govern
ment IS apt to hear from a peas
ant or laborer in some provin-
ciol town in Russia.
There was myth about the
Car. In isolated districts
where the revolutionary propa-
ganda was not known, the agita-
tor could speak in the old days
against the government and ev-
eryone connected with it and OBJ
tain a respectful hearing, but the
momement the Gear was men
toned in any derogatory manner,
the liberty and even the life of
The revoiutionist was in danger.
A new myth has arisen in Rus
STA. 1t is the myth about the
Soviet 1t has taken the place
Of the old and dangerous one.
The masses have faith in the
Soviet, and believe that it will
weather all storms and carry Rus
STA through all difficulties.
The second revolution has done
a great deal to strengthen that
faith. 1t gave Russia a stable
government which it did not have
during the first eight months of
the revolution. A Socialist gov
eminent, backed by a representa-
tive body more powerful than any
existing parliament, proceeded at
once to forge state based on in
dustrial rather than political de-
mocracy. The peasants needed
land, the workers needed jobs,
and Russia needed the labor of
both. Besides, both classes be-
ieved that exploitation was not
necessary concomitant of wealth
production. The new government
was the creature of these classes,
as in the other countries it is
the creature of the capitalist class.
All projects of legislation are
submitted to the Soviet. and if
approved are promulgated by the
Government Of Peoples Commits
sars as the law of the land. Laws
may be initiated in the Soviet and
carried to the government for
execution.
Constructive Work
Since last November the gov
eminent has been devoting it's time
end energies, and the time and
knowledge Of all who are willing
to help, to organizing the eco
nomic life of Russia. It has
also undertaken to carry out the
provisions of the Socialist plat
form as conditions warrant and
AS it can enlist the aid of quail
fled persons in working out the
details and in executing the re-
forms.
Much has been done which
went to the root of Russian 20
litical and industrial society. The
government has abolished the va
rious political classes among the
citizens. 1t separated the church
from the state. 1t completely
revolutionized the courts and the
judicial system. 1t nationalized
the land through confiscation of
"hurch, monastery, state and pri-
vately owned lands, without com
oensatlon. 1t nationalized in
dustry to great extent. 1t ma
tionalized the banks. To pro-
+ect the workers, it provided for
democratic management in the
factories, shops, mines and other
works. 1t provided for a sys-
tenn of social insurance, includ
ing insurance against accidents.

and invalidity. 1t even reform

and full discussion upon the meas
are is had in the Soviet before
it is promulgated as a law.
The Peace Problem
The world war and the counter
evolutionary movements among
he minor nationalties and the
5ourgeoisie are still taxing the
.ttention and energies of the gov
0ment. The peace drive of
the BoIsheviks was inaugurated
under instructions. 1t >was the
mandate Of the November revo-
luton. The hope was for a gen
2ral movement for a negotiated
0e2ce. The secret treaties re-
vealed the imperialist designs of
old Russas allies. The Soviet
agreed with Lenine that "thc ma
terial weakness of Russia forces
her to recuperate for internal
reconstruction.
Russia went to Brest-Litovsk
unaided. Trotzky looked to an
uprising in Germany as means
10 end the war. There were some
manifestations Of sympathy with
Russia, both in Germany and in
Austria, but not strong enough to
affect the situation.
The Bolsheviks returned from
the Conference defeated, but not
crushed. They lost out in the
physical combat. An annexa-
zionist peace was forced upon
them. Fearing the loss of both
the revolution and the war, they
gave up the latter for the time
being to go on with the work of
internal reconstruction. Lenine
explained this condition in the
following words: ITO sign a peace
with German imperialists is not,
effectively speaking, treason to
international Socialism. When
workmen are beaten in a strike
and have to accept bad terms
from employers, they do not be-
tray their class because they cam
not get all their demands satisfied
at once. They only accept bad
conditions in order to better pre-
pare for another struggle later"
Revolutionary Russia has not
taken autocratic Germany to her
bosom, nor has she gone back
upon her own peace formula. If
the present order is firmly es-
tablished in Russia, and that is
where all her energies must be
directed, she will be a greater
menace to Germany than any 9TH
er nation. The peoples which
Germany has subjugated will be
with Russia. Germany will have
to conquer every worker and peas
ant to keep their country. The
peoples of the Baltic provinces
hated the German autocracy even
before the war. They suffered
long under the yoke of the Ger
man barons, who owned the land
and controlled the means of live
lihood. The Let's and Esthon-
ians still remember the rivers of
blood which ran in their coun-
tries in 1906 after the visit of the
punitive expedition upon invita-
ton Of the German barons.
The Russian revolution freed the
Baltic peoples from bondage and
exploitation, as it did the Rus
SLAMS. In promulgating the prin-
:iple of self determination of peo-
oles, Russia granted independence
o the various nationalities. AS
heir economic life was bound up
with Russia, a plan for a fedora
live republic of all the peoples
was adopted. A class struggle
ensued within each of the minor
nationalities, with the propertied
classes, who were opposing the
Socialist government of Russia
and were welcoming German in
vasion. In Finland, in the Bal
