KOREA WANTS FREEDOM

What more opportune time in all his
tory could occur for Korea to demand
her independence end lay her claims
before the entire world for hearing
than the present.
Korea, since 1906 under the dorni-
nation of Japan, has for centuries been
buffeted by China, Japan and Russia,
with Japan at the present time hold
ing the whip hand over the Hermit
kingdom.
What appears to be well grounded
and thoroughly organized revolution
against japanese rule is in full sway in
Korea, and it is probable that the
claims of Korea for national indepen
dence will be taken before the world
peace conference.
The Koreans, a distinct people, should
have their independence as sotn a they
demonstrate capability of autonomy,
and the question of the control of the
peninsula of Chosen should be settled
for all time to come, rather than leave
the country open to the exploitation
Of the nation holding the balance Of
power in the orient.

SOMETHING ABOUT BoLsHEvIsM

1t is strange, but nevertheless true
that many persons refuse to believe
that bolshevism, socialism and |. w. W.
ISM are menaces to the public good
Just why it is felt in many quarters
I that anarchistic movements are calcu-
lated to be of benefit is difficult 70 ans
wer, unless ii is that everyone does
not know the truth about these social
istic movements, and what they really
mean.
Just as a mother often fails, because
of reluctance, to breach certain sub
iects to her daughter, until it is sadly
too late, so have the newspapers of the
United States largely refrained from
giving the public many horrible facts
regarding bOlshevism, because of a be-
lief that the facts, Is .hey really are,
would offend the more refined tastes
among newspaper readers.
Few American newspapers have
given space to the startling re-
Violations in testimony of R. E. Sim
mons, formerly a representative of the
U. S, department. of commerce, in Rus
STA, as given recently before the senate
committee investigating b,lshcvism.
Mr. Simmons left Archangel last No

senate committee DEGREES of various
bolshevist soviets He called a spade
spade, and in reproducing the DEGREES,

public should be aware.
