again, and then another war against the
bolhevism produced by the second
world war, and so on ad infnitium,
with the war to end war, which we
thought was the last war, still far in
the future.
Simonds' view Of the future is that
held by the special privilege classes
and the superficial people in general
Of. the allied countries. He was al
ways superficial and generally wrong
in prophecy, but he always made the
prejudices of the ruling classes appear
plausible and consequently got press
popularity.
Thus with Europe as it is today
bolshevism is indeed a menace to it..
In two months the Soviets have emerged
triumphant over all outside force. But
Europe doesn't have to remain as it is
today. Within three months every coun-
try in Europe can drive out special privi-
lege and thus feed and make it's people
prosperous instead Of beggars. Special
privilege, however, prefers war without
end to characterization of trade and
industry and so Europe is, as Simonds
sassy; in for very hard time.
