the Lenine government The fact that Premier Lloyd
George ready extend recognition behalf of Great
Britain is something that Americans do not to crit
Mr. Lloyd George to choose what him the lesser

duced to sacrifice its domestic tranquility for the
sake of helping another nation to preserve its tranquility
The genuine sympathy and spirit of hepfulness which
Americans feel toward England be manifested more
proftaby than by taking step which would tend to par
ayze the efficiency and productivity of this nation.
Much depends the steady increase of the products
of labor in this country The gradual recovery from wars
dsocations would be instantly checked if bolshevism
should be recognized not that aborng would become
bolshev but because there would ensue an immediate
bitter clash in this country between the advocates of boil
shevsm and those who are determined that it shall
prevail in the United States
included in the opponents of boshevism are the great
federated unions of labor which ably and periodically
stood behind the government in waging the war From
Sampe Gompers down, labor unionsts perceive in boil
shevsm their deadly enemy They will fight it to finish
whenever and wherever they can, for its domination

that could be devised, for the simple reason that any

with him must be concession to him. Recognition, of all
things the concession that would be most advantageous
to him in forcing boshevsm into allied countries.
An agreement with Lenne would be similar to agree
mentwth the Germans if the allies were unable to compel
the Germans to execute the agreement Lenine cannot
be compelled to keep good faith Whatever he promised
would be falsifed unless happened to damage the al

Americans is that they his enemies to be destroyed
lie has his hand raised against every sacred institution
