LENINH is MENACE


'"Thc Bolshevists have England's world
power to face in both directions, but in
addition 10 that we must remember they
must face what the world calls eivlliza-
ton, besides. A conflict between the
Bolrhcvists and England is not the only
problem. The world could afford To bc an
onlookcr in that case. The real problem
is conflict between civilization and bar
barism, in which the interests of civilized
nations are one. They can afford To fol-
low their several ways, nH dictated by
their several interests, only when this
conflict is attended TO.
The prodigious combative resource
OF Bolshevist propaganda tackled both its
far-hung fronts long ago with perfect logic
We must get used to regard propaganda as
a combative resource of the first rank.
The Bolshevists make an even more
masterful use Of il than Gerat Britain,
France and the United States did to con-
pass the ruin OF Germany during the
worldwide war.
Their propaganda is stirring the
masses of India 10 the depths of their
heartsl II is successfully bringing the gulf
that subsists between the moslems of
India and the disciples of the native re-
ligious. In Asia Minor the Persia and
all the way into Arabia and Persia, the
Bolshevlst propaganda conducts its moves
in the anti-Christian Pan-lslannc spirit.
Poland and Roumania are under
mined. The Bolshevist propaganda OPP
crates with more caution in Finland
Sweden and Norway these countries pre-
expected tn drop in the lap OF Bolahevhm
without noticeable effort. The great OBJ
jectives of the Bolshevisti are now in Ger
many and perhaps Czecho-Slovakia and
Austria.
VARIETY or aHApFs
"Bolsbevist propaganda in Germany
assumes n great variety Of shapes. With
Socialists it's preachments advocate war
on capital and the establishment of n
proletarian dictatorate. With German Nh
tionalists its missionaries demand the
dellverance Of the country from the en-
tente yoke: manufacturers and merchants
are promised commercial connections al
though every one knows the BoIshevists
can give nothing but can only take, Yet
We are compelled To acknowledge that
the Bolshevist propaganda is perfect
SUCCESS
The proof of it's SUCCESS In that the
Bolahevists already have an advance
guard stationed in Germany, which
yearns passionately for the eonuuerinR
approach of the Bolshevist armies as the
signal to hurl its own following into the
fray. Even the remainder Of Germany re-
fuses To comprehend that Bnlsheviam u
