A Comparison At Least Convenient

a truly admirable description Of the Bolsheviki is the
one given by NJ. Paul N. Milukoff. who was Russian for
eign minister just after the revolution, when he said that
"1hey are mad dogs who want to bite others SO that all
may be mad" says the New York Times.
OF course, the characterization is not perfect. FOR
one thing, it is unjust to mad dogs, for those poor
creatures do not bite because they want to spread the
infection Of which they are the innocent and helpless
victims, but because they are in an agony of fear and
pain, and they bite because the primordial impulse to do
SO has fingered in their darkened minds as the one means
of relief or self protection. From the human standpoint,
however, the mad dog must be treated as vicious-as
though he knew what he was doing and wanted to in
volve everybody and everything he meets in his own mis-
cradle fate. That explains and justifies the ruthlessness
Of the measures taken against him.
The Bolsheviki, if Got exactly like mad dogs, are ex-
actlyT like what mad dogs seem to be, and they do really
want to make as many others as possible as mad as them
selves. They are succeeding, to a degree and after a
fashion, and the great men assembled in Paris are seek
ing a plan for ending the ravages of these savage children
of German miHtarism. It is to be hoped that they find
one soon and follow it energetically.
