there. What they aim at is world dominion.
Lenine himself has confessed that Bolshevsm
in Russia will fail unless the rest of the world
can be conquered for hhis ideas And there is
no one whom he despises more than the par
lor Bolsheviki Of other countries who are not
ready to 60 with him to the limit Of his aims
and methods. When they talk about Justice,
he smiles, because justice :" implies something
!. secured by legally organized society as we
know it in civilized countries, whereas "what
the Bolshevst wants is not justice, but power,
and he is serving notice that he intends to
take it," ::
Nothing irritates a Bolshevik so much as
to talk to him about democracy. Majorities
signify nothing to him, except as the posses
sors Of the greater power. Those who do not
. support Bolshevism the Bolshevik would sup
= press whether in the majority or not Bolshe-
:. vism is above the franchise; no one is to pos
sess it who is not Bolshevik; neither is freed
ON Of speech or freedom Of the press to be
/ enjoyed by any other. This is inconsistent with
the protestations Of the radicals when they
were not in power, but that does not bother
them now. It is consistent with what they have
inagurated "a class war. That is an at1nos-
phere in which the American type Of demo-
cracy could never survive. And the antagonism
is emphasized by, the fact that the real demo-
!. crat, the man Of the people, the common man
in the democracy, is the one against whom the
Bolshevik is most bitter in his antagonism He
is less bitter, Mr.: Emery contends, against
Russian grand duke than against Kerensky or
Bresrkovskaya, against the kaiser than Scheide
mann, against Clemenceau than Branting, less
hostile against Rockefeller than against Com
pers, because, @1in the eyes Of the Bolshevik
, Gompers is the arch-enemy Of his own class. =
This is the theory of Marx carried to- it's

putting it in operation and the extent, Of the
I experiment. that is new and startling. But it
