Payrolls; their significance to \

Payroll money; Who derives the
benefit? Where does the money go?
Industries; creating raw material

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-Terrorism
is not to be abandoned by the Bolshe-
wiki, according to Swedish press re
ports from Petrograd received here to-
day. In the advices, transmitted from

in Hungary which he attributed to
the leniency of the Bolshevik regime
there, terrorism must continue
1T would be impossible to abandon
the terroristic activities" Lenine is
quoted as declaring. "as it is the only
weapon the Bolhseviki can use against
the Mensheviki, the social revolution
aries and the bourgeoisie"
Lenine declared the only way vic
tory by the Denkin and Kolchak
forces could be prevented was for the
Soviet adherents to continue their
course Of terrorism.
The Swedish paper stated that this
probably was the first time that Lenine
had outspokenly advocated terrorism.

vices report that the Bolsheviki have
