STARVING BOLSHEVISM.

Bolshevist documents intended for
Bolshevists only have been captured
and sent to Washington, which SHOW
that Bolshevism in Russia is eating of
its own head. The reports show there
has been steady decline in production
in Russia ever since the BolsheVists as
sumed power and that skilled labor has
become so scarce it is almost impos-
sible to produce supplies and equipment
for the Red army, say nothing about
the common people.
These Soviet leaders admit to them
selves there is a general exodus OF
workers from industrial centers, caused
by poor living conditions. The pro
Ietariat. the only element of society
the Bolshevist admits has the right t.
live, is joining the ranks of the pro
fiteers and barter traders. Workers
are alsd said to be migrating iron
place to place in search of better liv
ing conditions. One quarter of the in
dustrial establishments taken over b,
the Soviet state are reported idle am

DOWN IN MEXICO.

The fact that the revolutionists of
hut three states and Lower California
shows that Carranza is as unpopular
in his own country as elsewhere. While
il has been impossible to determine
whether or not he has been captured
by the revolutionary forces, it is evi,
dent he is driven from power and is
fugitive without power to defend him
self from his enemies. The day of
Carranza is past and dealings with him
by this country will no longer be nee
essarv. He can confscate no more A
merican property nor kill any more A
mcrican citizens. To this extent, al
least, the situation in Mexico from an
American standpoint has improved.
General Obregon has assumed die
tatorship in that country and claims to
he the head of the Mexican govern
ment. 1t is reported that his ''gov-
crnment' will ask immediate recog-
milton by the United States government
That is a complicated question for tho
! American government to decide. OBJ
RECON is not chosen leader of the
Mexican cause, nor is he certain of sup
rort as head of the Mexican govern
ment. Immediate recognition of hin
might be followed with an early de
mand from some other Mexican fol
recognition. There is one reassurins
L feature in the situation and that is lit
tie open opposition to Obregon at pres
Il ent There have been a few confict
\ with the Carranza forces followed b,
the desertion of the Carranza men an'
their joining the revolutionary forces
Then order is Immediately restored
without plumber or massacre or op
position.
1t is evident the people of M4xic
were anxious for a change and Their
is the possibility they will peaeabl
accept the new regime without furthe
bloodshed or destruction. If they d

the manufacturing industry is in the
throes of crisis. These reports also
show that Soviet Russia is living only
one third as well as Russia was living
before the war. The exhaustion Of
prewar supplies forecasts still further
suffering and want.
These facts tend to prove the fall
lacy of Soviet principles-go government
by the workers and government control
of all forms of industry. Bolshevism is
rapidly starving itself to death and ii
will not be long before its adherents viii
be forced to surrender to some organ
ization capable of supporting the labor
ers or suffer complete extinguishment
Perhaps the world will never know the
full cost of Bolshevism in Russia but
evidently il is greater than its oppon
ents dared to express.
