anarchists at all except those who,
not being George Washingtons, make
no scruple about telling lie under
should at the same time
tolerate the practice of anarchists
who have their photographs taken
redhanded as openly as the late
Theodore Roosevelt had his taken
on the carcasses of elephants or
lions he shot in Africa.
1t is eqaully absurd for the Brit
ish government to denounce direct
action" anarchic whenever it is
threatened by the extreme left sec
ton of the coal miners, and at tho
same time let tn black and tans
loose on Ireland to lynch not only
its inhabitants, but its industries,
keeping its proceedings in counter
ance meanwhile by talking about
Irishmen exactly as American lynch
ers talk about negroes, with the IN
evitable result that we have a negro
congress where the extreme left dis
cusses the determination of the
white races, and Irish guerilla troops
who eXterminate armed English
policemen and soldiers on sight to
the utmost of their opportunities.
AN ORGY OF BLACKGUARDISM.
determinations is a word which
should be in every ones mouth at the
present time, because it is the right
word for all these securitist policies
of coercion, retaliation, subjugation,
re-establishment of order, imperial
ism, patriotism and so forth which
have made postwar craftsmanship
such an orgy of blackguardism.
And let us remember that the OBJ
lection to determination is not that
it is unreasonable. There are excel
lent reasons for exterminating the
entire human raCe-reaSOnS which
were stated forcibly and irrefutably
to CULVER by the king Of BrObdig-
nab.
The final objection is that 1t is
never a practicable policy, because
the exterminators, who will not prove
their sincerity by beginning with
themselves, can hardly be expected
to end with themselves.
But though they cannot kill out the
race, they can wreck civilization.
Indeed, they have already half done
it and will finish the job if they are
not stopped.
When Mr.. II. G.. Wells, our most
clearly articulated world audible OBJ
server and perhaps our most COM
prehensive historical philosopher,
undertook his mission to Bolshevik
Russia and met Lenin, the only Eu-
ropean statesman who has principles
and is candid about them, Lenin told
him that capitalism cannot produce
statesmen capable Of saving the CAPT
talist state by adapting it to modern
conditions.
POLITICS DOMINATED BY FOCH.
Mr.. Wells could not deny II be-
causc he could not point to n single
European or American minister with
a glimmer of such capacity or even
any knowledge OF need for il, II be-
ing only too evident that Marshal
Foch, n practical soldier whose sole
business Is in methods Of extermlna-
ton, dominates European politicians
rs completely rs Wellington dOmi-
mated them after 1915, though he
seems TO have none Of WellingtOn's
anti militarist common sense.
But the intellectual bankruptcy of
capitalist craftsmanship does not
mean the triumph of communism.
Lenin and his friends have, it APP
pears, rescued their country from
chaos. They found there murder
and rioting throughout the cities,
and they have suppressed II and
established order in the midst of
