BOLSHEV|K REIGN
 IS SCARPETBAG RULE
Soviets Must Do Everything to Satisfy the Moscow Of
 ficials in Power

London, November 2s.- Correspondence of the Associated Press )--The bolshevik government in Russia is described by a
 who recently returned from that
 ny as "a carpet bag government of s1s most fragrant sort" Theoretically, As hAys, the bolshevik government is e lar and supposed to represent the vi of the working masses throughout &ez a. In practice local soviets have sseh bowled over whenever they failed sa .isfy Moscow officials, and outsiders ees been placed in control. A large < rtion of the travelling commissars go about Russia on armored trains 70 As ep the local soviets in line are de- clared to be agitators from New York and London.
 The government is described as an- alogous to such rule as might be imag- ined to originate with workmen of New York and Chicago. Carrying out the analogy, such a government would recog- nize the political rights of nobody but workmen in New Orleans and San Fran cisco. It would overthrow by arms any government in Seattle or San Antonio which did not reflect it's own views and would deny the ballot to all persons pos eessed of property. Under such a gov ernment New York and Chicago politi-

Banks and indus tries of all sorts would be nationalzed Titles to farm land and city property would vest in the government.
 Workmen, the traveller says, compose less than 10 per cent of the population of Russia. Consequently, the assumption of spokesmen of radical labor circles to socialsze Russia was more chimerical than it would be in a highly industrialized country. Russia is an unorganiZed prim- itive agricultural country; 90 per cent of its peasants possess property which falls within the confiscation lines as de- fined by Lenine. Siberia and the other undeyeloped farming sections of Russian domain offer exceptional opportunities to industrious settlers and there every man stands or falls according to his own in- dustry and merit. Such districts, II is stated, feel no need for efforts at social- ization and were the first to resent the domination of representatives of the Le- nine government
 Insults offered by the travelling com missars and their armed bands have aroused the antagonism of Christian or- ganizations. including the Russian ortho- dox church. It Is asserted that few Of the agitators from America are Ameri- can citizens. Almost without exception they are said to be anxious to return to the United States. They are dissat- isfied with bolshevik Russia and, after denouncing the United States in public speeches confess in private that they would rather live in America than any where else,

Tens of thousands of people die annually from starvation. Mothers In the poorer sections of every town and village de- stroy female babies because they are unable to feed them. Sometimes the parents sell them into slavery or dis hohor. In tims of drouth and famine regular traffic is conducted in children generally by boat along the canals and rivers.
