II TAS the tide of Bolshevism
turned? Has the great
n n quasi-religious war for a
dictatorship of the world prole-
tariat," for the determination of the
parasitic bourgeoisie," reached the
climax of its successes, and is it al
ready on the way downhill toward
defeat and surrender? In the opin-
ion of the American press there are
signs to that effect--yet the warn
ing against untimely optimism is
sounded.
"The Springfield Republican" ana
lives the situation as follows:
Taken at face value, the news of
the day would suggest that the revolG-
ton had reached its height and was
beginning to subside. The Socialist
government at Vienna is still holding
its own against the extremists, the
communist government of Hungary is
in straits, the Lithuanians have taken
Wilma from the Bolsheviki, General
Petlura reports great victories in the
Ukraine, and the Siberian army claims
further gains on the Ural front.
"Most significant of all are the hints
that the Allies have agreed to recog-
nize the Kolchak dictatorship, the rec
ognition to be extended as soon as
Germany has signed the peace treaty
The objections to this course have
been so frankly admitted that reports
of reversal of policy cannot be taken
with much confidence, but it is evident
that strong concerted effort is being
made to undo whatever had been done
in the direction of policy of negotia-
zion"

.NHERE is no problem at this
H moment, when some of the
- most tremendous problems
humanity has ever had to
face are awaiting solution, which is
discussed with more passion and
vehemence, a greater array of evil
dance pro and con, and with less
prospect of ultimate agreement than
the problem: What is Bolshevism?
For some it is the bearer of light,
the champion of the highest free
dom, the redeemer Of suffering hu-
manity; for others, the blacklist of
tyrants, evil incarnate, the grave
digger of civilization. All shades
and gradations between these two
extremes of opinion have their
sponsors; and among professions of
passionate faith and equally pas
sionate loathing one meets OCCASION
ally with cool, scientific examina-
ton of facts and theories.
Such an attempt at impartial
scientific analysis Of the political
methods employed by Bolshevism is
offered in an article published in
"The Round Table," one of the most
substantial British political quar-
terlies. Speaking Of the Inspirations
of Bolshevism,' the anonymous
author says:
ut is Of paramount importance for
the foreign student Of Bolshevism to
realize from the first the essential diff
ference between the fundamental poll
icy and opportunist policy of the Boil
sheviki. The Bolshcvik leaders them
selves admit the difference 1t ex-
plains the many Inconsistencies in
their policy - inconsistencies which
they do not deny and which are in
some respects not unnatural. The Boil
sheviki are minority party. They

The Origin

The editorial calls attention to the
rumors that this anti Bolshevik turn
of Allied policy has originated in the
United States government, and con-
tinues:
"That in our State Department there
have been some elements not wholly in
sympathy with the Presidents ideals
there is reason to believe, and at the
time OF the Kolchak coup 6'etat it
gave out a semi official approval which
did much harm in Siberia. How Mr..
Lansing himself stands has not been
disclosed, and assertions now made
that he has been in opposition to other
members of the American delegation
may be passed by along with other
backstairs gossip from Paris. 1t may
be said, however, that reports of action
by the conference probably refer to
the discussions of the secondary coun-
Gil Of foreign ministers, whose de-
cisions still have to be reviewed by the
council of four"
"The Republican" emphasizes the
military rather than political char
acter of the anti-Bolshevik successes
in other words, the blows at the
Bolshevik governments were di-
rected, not from below, by a REBEL
ious population, but from the out
side, by troops Of a foreign power
And the editorial concludes:
at is no time for rash decisions, anc
it viii be g great blunder to allow pol
icy to vacillate with every turn of mill
tary fortune. But if it should prove
true that the revolutionary tide ha:
turned, parceptibly more hopeful
state Of things may come with thu
signing of the peace treaty"

Another contribution to the lore
of Bolshevik strategy is made by
The London Outlook" which pub
fishes a series of articles under the
caption "Bolshevism, World Dis
ease" We read:
The truth is that the Russian revo-
luton is only the first tactical move
in world revolution. The object of
all Bolshevik social revolutions is to
put an end to the existence of a
bourgeois class, not merely to make it
powerless Bolsheviki claims that
once the conditions of parasitism,
privilege and exploitation have been
destroyed, the old divisions of the
class struggle will automatically have
Disappeared
with the above objects in view
Lenine and Trotzky came from exile
to use Russia as place in which to
kindle q world revolution. The first
move in the game was to demand
peace in order that the working classes
might be put into q position to bring
on a social revolution. That this move
was the correct one from the BolsheviA
point of view, events in Russia, Hun
gary, Austria and Germany have
proved. 1t was hoped by the revolu-
tionaries that if Russia seeded from
the war the 'imperialistic groups
would be compelled to continue the
war until exhaustion had been reached
and that then favorable opportunity
would occur for revolution in other
countries than Russia
at was decided then at all costs to
continue the soviet government as a
nucleus of revolution until the workers

terCOn, tne eSSaylSt, phl-
losopher, poet, novelist, pamphleteer
and dramatist, contributes an edi-
torial in his weekly, "The New Wit
ness" to the Interpretation Of Boil
shevistic philosophy. He says, in
part:
"The real case against Bolshevism
is founded on the right Of self-defence
which belongs to a full philosophy as
against an incomplete philosophy. 1t
is of the very nature of civilization
that it has, or, at least attempts to
have, balance of ideas; Of art and
society and freedom, of equality and
glory. And it is of the very nature
of barbarism that it is swept from
time to time, like a forest by wind,
by the wave of one idea. So the Prus-
sian expansion was simplified to the
single insanity of pride. Notions of
worthier, if wilder, sort may be native
to the more Christian atmosphere of
Russia; exaggerations of virtues, rather
than of vices, may come against us
out of the East. But it is not the
first time they have come. So the ICON
oclasts came out Of Greece to destroy
the art and sculpture Of Italy; so in
Vulnerable sects have exaggerated pur-
ity into pessimism; and even Attila
called himself the Scourge of God, as
the Kaiser called himself the ally of
God. And all these examples, of course,
are dwarfed by the one great historic
example, now dying away in the des-
erts from which it came, or clinging to
Constantinople with the clutch of de-
spair The chief doctrine that Islam
preached was not falsehood. 1t was
a truth; and the whole case against it
is that it was a truth, and not the
truth. There may be right ideal
mixed up with the madness of the
new movements in the Eastern lands.
There always is. Never was there
hereto who spoke all false said
the great Sir Thomas Moore. Boil
shevism may be, as regards its masses,
sincere vision of the equality of
man; just as Islam certainly was, as
regards its masses, sincere vision of
the unity Of God. 1t is indeed not in
significant that when we look up to the
high places where sit the rulers of
both movements, we see the faces not
of European, but Of Semitic princes OF
: prophets"

Comm zlvlisg,

"In their Fundamental aims and
aspirations, however, Lenine is and al
ways has been thoroughly consistent.
His one aim is the establishment of
communism throughout Europe by
means of the international Bolshevik
stress on the throughout Europe be-
cause Lenine himself has admitted that
a communist Russia cannot exist along
side capitalist Europe. AS late as
December TO- 1918, we find him saying
in a speech to the Congress of Poverty
Committees: Our chief hope, our chief
support, is in the proletariat Of West
ern Europe, in the proletariat of the

are unsupported by proletariat which,
although inspired with a genuine revo-
lutionary enthusiasm, is very largely
illiterate; in fact, by elements which
Lenine himself has occasionally char
acterized as unsatisfactory and which
do not always understand the ideas of
their leaders. In order to maintain
their position the Bolsheviki have,
therefore, been forced into frequent in
consistcncies, both in their foreign and
their internal policy. AS one of the
leaders Of the French Revolution wrote,
many of the decisions which they have
been forced to take were more often
than otherwise not intended or desired
by them two days or even one day be-
forehand; the crisis alone evoked
them They have beaten both to the
left and to the right In one part of
the country they have appealed to ma
tional sentiments; in another part they
have denounced them with all the fer
vor of extreme internationalism. At
every meeting they preach the gospel
Of civil war and Of no compromise with
capitalism, and at the same time their
wireless is flying kites in the foreign
press regarding the gradual modera-
ton of their views and their desire for
peace with the Entente.

Zin0pief

Ovsey Hershon Zinovieff, or APPEL
baum, the president of the Northern
Commune and the virtual dictator of
Petrograd, was born at Novomirgorod
in 1888. AS his name conveys, he, too,
is Jew. All his life he has been a
devoted admirer of Lenine, and has
been the latter's constant attendant
and disciple in all his various peregri
nations through Europe. During the
war zinovieff, who is clever journal

supported the war or took sides in it.
Karl Radek, one Of the cleverest and
Radek
most dangerous of the Bolshevik com
mlssaries, was, until his recent mission
to Germany, Assistant Commissary for
Foreign Affairs. One of the youngest
of the Bolshevik leaders, Radek has
very considerable knowledge of Euro
pean politics, and in particular of Cen
trail European politics. His real name
is sobelsohn. By nationality he is a
Jew, and was until joining the Bolshe-

from the Austrian army.

Lev Borisovitch Kameneff, or Rosen-
feldt, the president of the Moscow
Soviet, is also of Jewish origin. Born
IN 1883 OF rich parents, he received q
good education at Moscow, where he
entered the university. When onlv
nineteen he was arrested for taking
part in students demonstration in
front of the Pushkin monument, and
on this occasion experienced his first
dose of prison life. A member Of the
Russian delegation at Brest, he was
nominated Bolshevik Ambassador mt
Vienna after peace was signed. On
passing through Finland, however, he
was arrested by the Films and kept in
prison until July, 1913.

shevik movement, he may be called
without exaggeration the virtual die
tator Of Russia.

TrOfzky

Lev Davidovitch Trotzxy or, to
give him his real name, Leiba Bron-
steln--is Jew of versatile talents and
considerable powers of organization.
In his evolution as Socialist he has
passed through Menshevik Internation-
alism and Trotzkist Irrationalism to
the more strenuous doctrine of Boil
shevik Imperialism. President of the
Petrograd Council of Workmen during
the revolution of 1905, Trotzky has
been twice exiled to Siberia and has
twice escaped before the completion of
his sentence. A man of violent moods
and passions, Trotzky has frequently
been guilty of the greatest cruelty
and excuses. He has, however, writ
ten several clever historical sketches
of the revolution, and as Journalist
possesses u certain facility of arpu

his followers. To-day HIS boundless
