General Revolution

Another contribution to the lore
of Bolshevik strategy is made by
The London Outlook" which pub
fishes a series of articles under the
caption "Bolshevism, World Dis
ease" We read:
The truth is that the Russian revo-
luton is only the first tactical move
in world revolution. The object of
all Bolshevik social revolutions is to
put an end to the existence of a
bourgeois class, not merely to make it
powerless Bolsheviki claims that
once the conditions of parasitism,
privilege and exploitation have been
destroyed, the old divisions of the
class struggle will automatically have
disappearcd'
with the above objects in view
Lenine and Trotzky came from exile
to use Russia as place in which to
kindle q world revolution. The first
move in the game was to demand
peace in order that the working classes
might be put into q position to bring
on a social revolution. That this move
was the correct one from the BolsheviA
point of view, events in Russia, Hun
gary, Austria and Germany have
proved. 1t was hoped by the revolu-
tionaries that if Russia seeded from
the war the 'imperialistic groups
would be compelled to continue the
war until exhaustion had been reached
and that then favorable opportunity
would occur for revolution in other
countries than Russia
at was decided then at all costs to
continue the soviet government as a
nucleus of revolution until the workers

terCOn, tne eSSaylSt, phl-
losopher, poet, novelist, pamphleteer
and dramatist, contributes an edi-
torial in his weekly, "The New Wit
ness" to the Interpretation Of Boil
shevistic philosophy. He says, in
part:
"The real case against Bolshevism
is founded on the right Of self-defence
which belongs to a full philosophy as
against an incomplete philosophy. 1t
is of the very nature of civilization
that it has, or, at least attempts to
have, balance of ideas; Of art and
society and freedom, of equality and
glory. And it is of the very nature
of barbarism that it is swept from
time to time, like a forest by wind,
by the wave of one idea. So the Prus-
sian expansion was simplified to the
single insanity of pride. Notions of
worthier, if wilder, sort may be native
to the more Christian atmosphere of
Russia; exaggerations of virtues, rather
than of vices, may come against us
out of the East. But it is not the
first time they have come. So the ICON
oclasts came out Of Greece to destroy
the art and sculpture Of Italy; so in
Vulnerable sects have exaggerated pur-
ity into pessimism; and even Attila
called himself the Scourge of God, as
the Kaiser called himself the ally of
God. And all these examples, of course,
are dwarfed by the one great historic
example, now dying away in the des-
erts from which it came, or clinging to
Constantinople with the clutch of de-
spair The chief doctrine that Islam
preached was not falsehood. 1t was
a truth; and the whole case against it
is that it was a truth, and not the
truth. There may be right ideal
mixed up with the madness of the
new movements in the Eastern lands.
There always is. Never was there
hereto who spoke all false said
the great Sir Thomas Moore. Boil
shevism may be, as regards its masses,
sincere vision of the equality of
man; just as Islam certainly was, as
regards its masses, sincere vision of
the unity Of God. 1t is indeed not in
significant that when we look up to the
high places where sit the rulers of
both movements, we see the faces not
of European, but Of Semitic princes OF
: prophets"

Comm zlvlisg,

"In their Fundamental aims and
aspirations, however, Lenine is and al
ways has been thoroughly consistent.
His one aim is the establishment of
communism throughout Europe by
means of the international Bolshevik
stress on the throughout Europe be-
cause Lenine himself has admitted that
a communist Russia cannot exist along
side capitalist Europe. AS late as
December TO- 1918, we find him saying
in a speech to the Congress of Poverty
Committees: Our chief hope, our chief
support, is in the proletariat Of West
ern Europe, in the proletariat of the
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04

are unsupported by proletariat which,
although inspired with a genuine revo-
lutionary enthusiasm, is very largely
illiterate; in fact, by elements which
Lenine himself has occasionally char
acterized as unsatisfactory and which
do not always understand the ideas of
their leaders. In order to maintain
their position the Bolsheviki have,
therefore, been forced into frequent in
consistcncies, both in their foreign and
their internal policy. AS one of the
leaders Of the French Revolution wrote,
many of the decisions which they have
been forced to take were more often
than otherwise not intended or desired
by them two days or even one day be-
forehand; the crisis alone evoked
them They have beaten both to the
left and to the right In one part of
the country they have appealed to ma
tional sentiments; in another part they
have denounced them with all the fer
vor of extreme internationalism. At
every meeting they preach the gospel
Of civil war and Of no compromise with
capitalism, and at the same time their
wireless is flying kites in the foreign
press regarding the gradual modera-
ton of their views and their desire for
peace with the Entente.

Zin0pief

Ovsey Hershon Zinovieff, or APPEL
baum, the president of the Northern
Commune and the virtual dictator of
Petrograd, was born at Novomirgorod
in 1888. AS his name conveys, he, too,
is Jew. All his life he has been a
devoted admirer of Lenine, and has
been the latter's constant attendant
and disciple in all his various peregri
nations through Europe. During the
war zinovieff, who is clever journal

Karl Radek, one Of the cleverest and
Radek
most dangerous of the Bolshevik com
mlssaries, was, until his recent mission
to Germany, Assistant Commissary for
forelgn Affairs. One of the youngest
of the Bolshevik leaders, Radek has
very considerable knowledge of Euro

Lev Borisovitch Kameneff, or Rosen-

Soviet, is also of Jewish origin. Born
IN 1883 OF rich parents, he received q
good education at Moscow, where he
entered the university. When onlv
nineteen he was arrested for taking
part in students demonstration in
front of the Pushkin monument, and
on this occasion experienced his first
dose of prison life. A member Of the
Russian delegation at Brest, he was
nominated Bolshevik Ambassador mt
Vienna after peace was signed. On

without exaggeration the virtual die

TrOfzky

Lev Davidovitch Trotzxy or, to
give him his real name, Leiba Bron-
steln--is Jew of versatile talents and
considerable powers of organization.
In his evolution as Socialist he has
passed through Menshevik Internation-
alism and Trotzkist Irrationalism to
the more strenuous doctrine of Boil
shevik Imperialism. President of the
Petrograd Council of Workmen during
the revolution of 1905, Trotzky has
been twice exiled to Siberia and has
twice escaped before the completion of
his sentence. A man of violent moods
and passions, Trotzky has frequently
been guilty of the greatest cruelty
and excesses. He has, however, writ
ten several clever historical sketches
of the revolution, and as Journalist
possesses u certain facility of arpu
mcnt which makes n strong appeal to
his followers. To-day HIS boundless
ambition xas been temporarily satisfied

BOARDING CORN
Reynolds Mans Permit Revoked by
United States Food Admins
tration After Hearing.

New York, June 23.-The United
States food administration has an
nounced that the license of C. H.
Wayne, Reynolds, Ill, had been re-
voked until further notice for vio-
Iating the section of the food con-
troll act which makes it unlawful
to hoard grain and certain other
commodities.
Mr.. Wayne is alleged to have
stored grain for speculative pur-
poses at time when a corn short
age existed.
The revocation became effective
at noon Saturday.
A hearing recently in Washing
ton indicated, the announcement
says, that Mr.. Wayne took delivery
under contracts for May corn ag-
gregating $4,000 bushels at a time
when that amount Of corn repre-
scented approximately half the corn
available in public warehouses in
Chicago. and that he purchased
more than 100000 bushels of July
corn. a small part of which he has
since sold He admitted at the
hearing, the statement adds, thai
he was holding his cash and July
corn not for any industrial pur-
poses but for speculative resale
The announcement continues:
Efforts by the Chicago Board of
Trade and his broker TO induce Mr..
Wayne to dispose of his holdings
at reasonable prices, and thus to
relieve the corn shortage, were
without results. The effect OF the
revocation makes it unlawful for
Mr.. Wayne to engage in new bust
ness of licensed commodities after
the revocation. He can, however,
subject to the approval of Howard
B. Jackson, agent Of the United
States food administration at Chi
cago, sell both his cash and his
July corn. and it is expected that
he will proceed to make such dis
position Immediately for the relief
of the corn market"

lad was afflicted for only "a hours
before his death: There had been
no signs of i'll heath on his part
lately, and Sunday morning he at
tended Sunday school, seemingly in
as good spirits and feeling as well
as usual. Naturally the short ill
ness made his death a great shock
to his parents and one sister, Char
