STOCKHOLM, April l5 -- How do the bourgoiSe manage to live at all n Russia?
 Bribery!
 The bourgeoise iS given no bread by government authority. He is given no check to buy other foods as is the proletarian.
 But the bourgeoiSe lives by the dishonestly of the tyrantS who hay robbed him.
 The corruption of the czar'S regime was well known. It reached to every rank in life.
 The corruption of the Bolshevist government is greater.
 The BolSheviSts have permitted the continuance of pensions granted by the former imperial state where they do not exceed 5000 roubles $500 io American money under the old gov ernment but a mere trifle with the present depreciation of Russian money.
 First a member of the bourgeoiSc paid 9 per cent to a soviet official to have his pensions continued. Then others were compelled to do the same. Then burgeoise who never had pen sions under the old regime got on the pension rolls by similar bribery, and now the practice is almost universal. Bribe Officials Smuggle out Rubles
 Thousands of Russians who hav" gone into Scandinavia have taken with them vast sums in roubles. They have bribed port officials with 9 pc" cent of the sum involved. The roublcs are sold in Stockholm at third nf their par value. They are bought at home for a fifteenth to twentieth of their par value. The transaction iS very profitable.
 One Russian was stopped snug gling out a million roubleS. He was lrinoff former district marshal Of nobility. He was beaten, jailed and starved until he died. But most of
