DO the working people Of other countries think there

expert testimony as 10 that from W. G. shepherd the
noted American war correspondent who was In Russia
during the revolution and after the Bolshev seized the
government
"LenIne," writes shepherd believes in ruling like a
king Lenine Trotsky, and all their apostles do not be-
leve in majority rule Their plan-and this is what the
Boshevik themselves sayis TO persuade many people
possible to their way Of thinking and then force the
rest Of the populace to their belief
Majority rule is, not a good thing for the people

the light must lead the masses. II we can; If we can't
lead we must drive them. But they must go our way

common people It rooted out oppression in France It
set up the rights of and united the common peope

Trotskys OF France set up the Terror" in Russia TO-
day.
There is your great historical precedent for Russian
and Notwithstanding Bolsheyism today.
