NEW YORK, July 4.-That Russia
under the dictatorship of the under
dog is not exactly land Of liberty
is one of the first discoveries of the
foreigner visiting Moscow
The Bolsheviki like to call Russia
the free communistic republic" As
a matter of fact, there are no laws
as they are known in other lands.
But in their place there are several
million manifestos, or proclamations,
that have been issued by various So
viets.
If you act contrary to one of these
manifestos, and commissaire catch
es you a tribunal settles your case.
The tribunal is made up of three
Bolsheyiki 1t bothers not about either
laws or manifestos, there being none
of the former and too many of the
latter.
In soviet Russia, you are entirely
at liberty but you cannot be at large
without permit to live issued by the
commissaires. You cannot buy pair
of socks, a shirt, or any kind of
clothes or merchandise. You are sup
posed to wait until it is issued.

travel anywhere, except on official
business. Individuals cannot go from
one town to another on private busi
ness.
You cannot rent a room or move
into a new house, unless the commits
saire assigns you to new quarters.
You have to go where he says. Ho-
tells do not exist. They are confiscat-
ed for headquarters.

you do not like it. You are consid-
cred an enemy of the government if
you strike. The government can mo-
bilize you to any job it wishes, just
as though you were soldier

be the sole proprietor of anything of
commercial value.
Otherwise, you are perfectly free
with a few more exceptions.
Strangers Placed Under Guard.
The bolshevist idea of liberty was
impressed upon the United Press cor
respondent when he first arrived in
Moscow. He was under guard, and
was taken first to the police station.
There, among all the millions of man
ifestos, the police commissaire could
not find any which outlined regula-
tions regarding foreign press CORES

through the back door-the Lithuan-
ian front.
The police commissaire decided ito
pass the buck" to the foreign office
secretary. why have foreign office
if it can't decide whether foreigners
we catch here have any right to live
or not?" he asked.
Under guard, but otherwise unher-
aided and unsung-as well as un-
washed, unshaved, and unclean from
the long train trip-the correspondent
was ushered before the foreign secre-
tary, whose first act was to heap a
TRADE of abuse of all Entente lands
upon the head of the only specimen
in captivity at the time.
Finally he relented and said, We'll
let you stay here few days. I sup
pose the first thing is to get you out
of arrest. Wait here while 1 see if
it can be done"
Half an hour later an assistant
came back an announced with a note
of triumph, We'll, you're free. You're
at perfect liberty"
Thanks. that's fine. | suppose !
