Naties's Spirit Broken.
The system has achieved it's OBJ
jsct. II has broken the spirit OF
the nation. All signs of resistance
have gradually disappeared under the
double work OF red terror and star
walton. The food and merchandise
accumulated from a country number
ing 19oooo.oo0 is suficient to feed an
erfny OF 100000 or even one twice
as large, as well as the numerous
BolsheYik bureaucracy. and what
matter that the rest OF the populs-
ton obtains nothing but crumbs :.
Thus, side by side with the disap-
pearace of ell resistance within the
country. Lsnine and Trotsky have
been enabled TO create an ever-in-
creasing army. the ranks of which
are iilled with workmen willing to ex-
change their meager rations for plen-
ty. This growing army is being used
for aggressive purposes. II Is nov
drilled and led by former Russian n
Officers, who were forced by the pol
icy OF starvation to Join the Red
army. They are carefully watched.
and the slightest suspicion OF avoid
ance OF duty Is punished by death.
But the most notable and pitiful
success achieved by Lenine has been
with the educated and professional
classes. When all the papers OF the
opposition were closed and all ave
nues OF life-esrninE were blocked
10 the educated and professional
classes. these men and women were
practically condemned TO death from
cold and famine For several
months they braveIy resisted. A
great number OF the opposition
Radicals and Democrats were shot.
Finally. exhausted and broken in
| spirit, they were forced to surren-
der. Maxim Cork was the first 20
give way, a few weeks after mis-
paper, ''Novaia Jizhn." was sup
pressed. Many others followed the
\ example of the great writer who
to save his life became an ardent
advocate OF Lenine's rule. which he
had previously so bitterly attacked
! lie has now become a member OF
! the BOlshevik government.
At the beginning Of the Bolshe-
| vik revolution I.eRine was obliged "a
| recruit his assistants from the scum
OF society and the criminal ele-
! ments. At present nc can boast
! that a considerable part Of the in
I tellectual classes have acQuiesced

! tarist-the submerged tenth" and
their leaders-are filing the thea

order of the state. This fact, and
reports of celebrations OF revoIU-
