EDUCATION TO
Cub BOLSHEVISM
Hughes Offers Remedy for
Red Tendencies in Speech
at Pittsburgh
BOURBONISM NO
REMEDY, HE WARNS

Hughes antldote for Bolshevism IS
education. He set forth hts views upon
the subject at the Citizenship Confer
ence In this city last night and his
: hearers gave demonstration Of their be-
lief in his theory. He condemned the
rule Of Lenine as being as autocratic
and as cruel as was that OF the Gar, but
declared that the remedy for Bolshe-
vism was not BourbOnlsm.
/ lie said in part:
In April, 1918. Lenine said: Just as
one hundred and dfiy thousand lordly
landowners under Czarism dominated
the one hundred and thirty millions Of
Russian peasants, so two hundred thou
sand members OF the BOlshevik party
are imposing their prolelarian Will on
the mass. but this time in the interest
Of the latter The BOlsheviki have main
tanned their rule by armed force. by
ruthless restraint Of freedom Of speech
and Of the press, by spies. by violence
and brutality. by Imprisonment and exc
culiOn-using every hated method OF the
Cars tyranny. What a spectacle IL Is
TO find in our country these little groups
free society praling Of restraints and
cXcusing or even praising Bolshevisml
LET 10 be understood that IL is not
the rule Of ignorance or the disorder
Of The confused and purpOseless. The
BOlshevisls know what democracy is,
and they a'e opposed TO demOcrscy.
They know what liberty is. and Hey
are opposed 10 liberty. They aim
frankly at the rule Of a minority. and
this. OF course, can only maintain itself
by the unscrupulous and tyrannical
use Of power.
The remedy for Bolshevism is not I.
Bourbonism. And the guilty escape If /
the charge is made so broad as 10 en- /
brace the innocent. The enemy is he /
who attempts TO take the community /
by the throat 20 compel obedience to I
The will Of class. Let it be known |
that we are ready 10 consider and dis
cuss all p OpOsals, 10 deal with them

Dut that every one who seeks 10 sub

"Self-preservation is the first law Of
democracy. The processes Of reason !
