Vienna, July 80. - 1 have further
details of Nikolai LenMe's present
plans for a Bolshevik world revolu-
ton, which are fGr-reaching and big.
General results are not expected at
once. For the present he has two
purposes. and action is in progress
in both of them.
His first plan is to make effective
the tyranny of the BoisheVik minor
ity in the labor syndlcates of Western
Europe in such movements as general
strikes. From his own success in
Russia he knows it is difficult for
moderate labor leaders to hold the
mass of Workmen to slow, con-
structiVe course, when leaders less
scrupulous and more radical can hold
of the Immediate prospect of strlk-
ing results.
He counts on the following of the
radical leaders. even thought they may
be conscious that thereby they Will
he trying to throw the rest of the
world into the same condition as Rus
sia is ln.. on the success or failure
of present general strikes he is flgur-
ing how long it will take to bring
about a widespread social revolution.
Fears Monarchy i'll Germany. E.
He counts on greater success IN the
entente countries than in Germany,
because Germany has slowed up after
having had a bad taste of BolsneVlsm.
Moreover, he knows better than any
ne else that the failure of BolsheVism
in Germany has thrown Germany vio-
ha rio
quick action there might win for the
present, it would be more likely to
strengthen the reactionary German
movement, and that might lead to re-
turn to the monarchy which would
seriously interfere with his later and
larger plans. Big political changes of
any kind in Germany would also re-
tard rehabilitation in the entente
countries, and that outcome Lenlne
wishes to avoid at all costs.
His second plan involves waiting
game, in order that he may build up
interior strength both in Russia and
in Hungary, a process that is difficult,
in view of the existing blockade in
these countries
He must permit industry to move
as a means of holding his Workmen
adherents and of pacifying the peas
ant population. Both these elements
must be held by him in indissoluble
mass. Coal, cotton, iron, oil and
other raw materials are essential to
him. He must get them by military
conquest. That is why he is now
driving into the Don and the Urals in
Russia.
Denil<ine Reds Worst Foe.
General Denikine is a worse enemy
to him than Admiral Kolchak. for
Denikine controls raw materials, which
are absolutely necessary for the con-
tinuance of his government. This is
of the most urgent importance to him
because he thinks it will be year or
two before the Bolshevik elements in
the labor syndicates of western
Europe can force relaxation of the
blockade or can extend open help to
him.
What gives him courage to stick to
his course is his fixed belief that the
world has been ruined by the war and
cannot recover economically rapidly
enough to satisfy the laboring masses.
He counts on hard times and discon-
tent everywhere. For this his pa
thence will wait, and while he is giving
impetus to the Bolshevik fight in west
ern Europe he will seek to fortify
himself in Russia, his main strong
hold, and in his sideshow in Hungary
Great Glass War Their Hope.
Western Europe and American can
have no idea of the tensity of interest
with which eastern Europe watched
the threatened general strikes for
July 20 in the entente countries. They
