SWEETNESS AND LIGHT AT BUKA

The state department has given us
some insight into the soviet congress
which recently assembled at Baku
Nearly 1000 representatives there
pledged themselves on naked sword
to leave nothing undone which might
further the spread of Bolshevism with
Its wake of ruin. in every civilized land
says The Minneapolis Tribune. The
chief figure present was Zinovieff.
one OF the best known Russian boil
shevists Beside him stood Enver
Pasha, that kindly humane Turk who
ordered the massacre of some hun
dreds of thousands of Armenians.
These figures give one a hint of the
'idealism" OF the personnel.
The object sought was the mobili-
nation of the orient against the oc-
cident "Tremble. you Lloyd Georges.
Millerands and otkSr European and
American butchersl The natives OF
the orient have declared in their con-
gress the Holy War against capital"
SO ran ono of the messages.
That gives the reader a hint as to
the benevolent intent of the ideal
istic" Bolshevists. II is curious in q
way to find how closely the bolshevist
movement parallels the Hohenzollern
raid upon civilization. The kaiser
won Enver Pasha for an ally, just as
the bolshevists have done; the kaiser
sought by every means In his power
to stir up the orientals against the
allies. just as the bolshevists have
done. In neither case was there any
wish to improve the plight of the or
ientals; in both cases the purpose
was merely to use ignorant groups of
men as tools.
The kaiser was somewhat cruder
than Lenine in the employment of
language. Lenine is skillful liter
airy artist. and masks his designs
more effectively than William did.
Both however were out to tomabavk
civilization, and to impose their own
Wills upon the world. The congress
at Baku, with Its gestures of fury and
violence only serves TO Indicate that
Lenine is making greater Roadway
in firing the Asiatics. Mohammedans,
and oriental races generally against
the civilized countries than the kai-
ser war able to achieve.
This intellectual Lenine with his
generous intentions of turning the
savage hordes of Asia upon the west
ern countries is certainly an apostle
of sweetness and light. Even his
good friend and lieutenant, Enver
Pasha the red handed butcher, ap-
pears respectable beside him.
