throne. Their people saw the march Of conquest
halt. The weakest car of all could not lead them
even to the conquest of the puny japanese
heather. Instinct in one hundred and eighty
million people is tremendous, unmeasured force,
working through many a cog and wheel to a
relentless focus. And who shall say that the revo
luton of 1917 was not the subconscious will Of
the Russian people to cast out leader who halted
them in their destined march to world d0mina-
|tion?
Their new leader-the cold, far-seeing brilliant
Lenine-is the strong man who took the ruling
scepter Of the weak czar. No one knows better
than he the characteristics of the Russian mass.
A mystic himself down in his soul, believer in
the overpowering destiny CT Russia, what is there
more simple than that he should decide that car
leadership having failed of world conquest by
force of arms, the better and more direct way
would be universal Russanizatiop by the propa-
ganda of Boshevism?
Nothing less than Boshevism could unite the
great masses of uneducated, semi-civilized people
in a country like Russia. Nothing less than class
feeling where practically the entire population is
of one class. Hence the appeal to the peasant, to
the poor workman. And having handled and
hoodwinked the Russian common people en- masse,
why not reach across the earth and hoodwink and
handle the plain peope Of all other lands. COM
pletine the RussianiFation Of the whole world?
''The Bear That Walks Like Man.
Every word that comes from Russia makes it
plain that Lenine is only another car. Nothing
less. There is no peoples rule in all Russia except
through .Lenine, who is himself the soul and heart
of Bolshevism. The peasant, the workman thinks
he rules, but all the ruling he does is that which
is necessary to further the plans OF Lenine the
autocrat, the absolute king. -
Do the working people of other countries think
there is freedom in" Russia under the Bolshevik
Lenne? We have expert testimony to that
from w. c. Shepherd, the noted American war
correspondent, who was in Russia during the revo-
luton and after the Bolsheviki seized the govern
ment. 81
''Lenine,' writes Shepherd, believes in ruling
like a king Lenine, Trotzky, and all their apos-
ties, i'd not believe III majority rule. Their plan
and this is what, the BosFevM themselves say
is to persuade as many people as possible to
their way of thinking and then force thf rest
of the populace to their belief. EHHN i I.

81 saw hundreds of workingmen in Petrograd
and other places in Russia, who didn't want to be
tBoIshevk; who didn't want to carry the blKHk flag
|or go out onto the streets to shoot civiiN8s and
help terrorize the masses" continues Shepherd.
"But the minority was controlling them. ~
"a found many factories in Petrograd where a
minority committee of Bolsheviki was in complete
control. The remaining workmen were just as
much afraid of this committee Of workmen in their
factory as they had been of the Russian police un
der the car. They would have been put out Of
jobs to say the least and boycotted in every other
factory in Russia, if they had refused to join the
Bolshevik movement n! g., =.
The French revolution was great and holy up
rising of the common people It rooted Tout oppres-
sion in Fracne; it set up the rights of man and
united the common people under the banner OF
liberty, equality, fraternity" Finding q great
mass thus united the .Lenines and Trotzkys Of
France. set up the} terror as in Russia today.
The lasting effect of terrorism made it easy for
the Lenines and Napoleons to drive France to con-
|quest-attempted conquest of the world, until
the French people became the dread oppressors
