they bargained for. and Russia has
produced a real fire.
Do not judge Of it in advance.

He is thoroughly American,

the provincial mind.
More comforting to such a mind
is the fact that Walling hates,

deeply religious peasants, that
there is no GOD, no true religion
and that all religion is simply a
cunning weapon devised by the
rich TO make the poor humble and
obedient. The Russian word for

which.means rich. And Ruckharin'
most powerful Bolshevist teacher
after Lenin, writes in his book,

Bolshevist rulers, like their
brother politicians outside of Boil

credulity of the masses, offering
to them arguments" that they
themselves would reject with
scorn. Thus Buckharin feeds to
the ignorant minds this: 1T is an
interesting fact that all names
of God testify to this origin OF re-

Whence does it come? God bog

War breaks out, people perish by
the millions and oceans OF blood are
spilled. An explanation must be
found for this. Those who do not
believe in God look at the how,
the what, and the wherefore. They
see that the war was schemed by
the Cars, Emperors, and the
Presidents, by the fat bourgeoisie
and the landlords. They see that
it is waged for the sake OF rapa-
cious and filthy ends. And there

then he begins to zealously chew
one kind of food instead of an
other on certain days (this Is call

such stupid things are performed
by the religious Jew, the Moham-
