Russia today has less freedom than
during the days OF serfdom sixty years
ago.
"rrotsky and his associates are in
constant fear of their lives. Their
terror or assassination surpasses that
OF the Car during the darkest days OF
Russian rule.
The mass OF Russian people today
would welcome back the days Of Car
rule and corruption If given a choice
between that and Bolshevism."
These were among the decla ra tions
this afternoon Of count Ilya Tolstoy. son
of the great Russian novelist, who will
lecture tonight before the Geographical
Soc ety Of Philadelphia in witherspoon
Han Count Tolstoy said the informa
ton, upon which he bases his slate
ments, comes from "irreproa chable and
unbiased sources"
Count rolstoy's lecture will deal with
the difference between the philosophy of
his father and Boishevism. We're the
elder Count Tolstoy alive today. his
son said. he would be among the first
to denounce Bolshevism as class agita
tion which annihilates industry, free
dom and order in his country.

Boishevism Not Popular
M. Struve, a politician of high stand

pointed out that those who think 1t pos

the most moderate form Of order and

1T is not true that Bolshevsm is pop
