OBSERVATIONS and CONCLUSIONS

truth in what was told me the other
day by j. N. w. Hartweld, a Swedish
composer, who has just returned to
Stockholm from a twenty-f1ve-year
stay in Russia. he said:
Il am firmly convinced that there
are only between 20 twenty) and 80
(thirty) actually corEinced B6lshev-
lists in Russia. They believe in the
communistic system, but all the others
who profess a belief in Bolshevism are
men who either can gain financially
from their contact with the leaders or
VINO are densely ignoran he great
mass OF the Russian people may sing
the lnternationals' today; if oportun-
NY were afforded them, they would
Just as willingly and enthusiastically
chant a hymn in honor Of the em.
peror today. The whole system isl
kept together by a. regime Of terror, as
represented particularly by Lettish
and, Chinese hangmen."
AS far AS the general European view
OF America and the Americans is con.
cerned, the predominant note is one
OF unconditional confidence in our
ideals and institutions.
