The attitude and action Of the gov

strike has hearteued business interests
generally. Apparently the public and
capital are not to be stampeded by

Mr.. Alexander Berkenheim, the Vice
Chairman of the Moscow Central Union
of the Russian Consumers Cooperative
Societies and one of the leaders OF the
Russian Cooperative Movement. recent
ly delivered, in London, an interesting
lecture on the conditions in Russia I'M
der the Bo1shevist rule.
Mr.. Berkenheim left Russia in De-
cember, 1918. and his impressions are of
special interest and value, because of
his permanent work in the heart of Boil
shev1st Russia. Mr.. Berkenheim said
that he represents only the Russian
stomachs" and therefore must stand
aloof from politics. We quote the re-
port of his lecture from the Russian
Commonwealth" published in London
(VoL mo. 3.
Two facts" Mr.. Berkenheim said,
were plainly noticeable at the time he
left Russia. The first was the complete
failure of all the soclalistic utopIas of
Bolshevism, of which the practical
fruitlessness became obvious. The Boil
Shev1ki did not succeed in mastering the
economic process. The result of their
experiment was general ruin and dlsOr-
ganlzation. No new creative factors
were discovered.
The second fact was the marked i'm
provement of the external apparatus of
the Bolshevist power. The army is ap-
parent1v trained and fit for battle.
The experiment in Specialization re-
suited in the building up of an enorm-
Gus bureaucratic machine. To buy a
pencil one has to call ut Is official places
There is a muddle everywhere, nobody
knows what to do.
Do factories work? The answer can
be both: yes and no. There is no such
a thing now as industrial statistics. Ones
impression is that about 1850 per cent.
of factories are working. The produc-
tiveness of work at these factories has
fallen to one-half of what it was before.
The industrial activities are paralyzed.
The causes are manifold. The fol-
LOVING are among them: the general
arrangement of the whole machinery of
the state; the grave food and fuel crisis ;
the lack of coordination of the meas
ures taken; the utopian idea of central
ism; the colossal disorganization of
transport.
The food crisis is appalling. Petro-
grad is a dead city. Rations are usually
not distributed at all, or they are SO
small that one cannot exist on them.
But the Red Army is we'll supplied with
food.
There is a great lowering of the
standard of life. 1t is being brought
near, in some cases. the medieval, in
some cases the eskimo standard. Yet it
