The policeman took him to the

have pursued the following train of
thought:
"If it be true that the work of the in

the position of the intelligenzia changed

compel it to do its bidding And when
the storm still failed to abate and the peo-
pie sought to steer the ship of state safely
through the tempestuous waves with little
apparent success the people turned to the
intelligenzia and shouted, "Sabotage!"
OF the sort. The fact that the intelligenzia
refused to follow the people in their efforts
at the all-Russian riot which the Bolsheyiki
proclaimed as the real social revolution
found its roots much deeper than in the
superficial and irresponsible charge of

No one has expressed this better and

In the following passage he characterizes

months and raises his voice in behalf of
dccency and consciencc:
"Conscicnce is dead. All conceptions OF
justice are directed toward wild division
of material goods. The purpose of this di-
vision is especially clear in the cases
where the beggar sells to another beggar
an oozysmnss of mud wrapped in straw and
calls it bread.
Half starved beggars are fooling and
robbing each other. This is the
process that fills our day. And the
sponsibilty for all this--for all this dirt,
blood, meanness and infamy-will be placed
by the enemies OF the working class upon
tho working class itself upon the intelli-
genzn that has proven helpless to stem
the moral dissolution of the mass grown
wild and savage. Where there is too much
politics There is no place for culture. The
policy Of the new powers that be is perme-

desire to fatter it-this chief weakness of
our Soviet government-and it is almost
quite useless to speak of conscience, of JUS
