| against the Bolshotlsts, since the Polish
peace released what was left OF Lenine's
force for active operations against his do
nestle enemies.
AS long as Russia was at war with
Poland. she was compelled to throw all her
fighting men against tho Polish invader and
! To devote such military resources as she
possessed to the u;'tHnsc OF Ukrninia and of
Petrograd itself Once the Polish acnisticc
was in effect, however. Lenne was able to
| transfer his legions from the western front
TO that defended by Wrangel This trans
fer was accomplished swiftly. and the Soviet
determination to crush tho insurgents has
, been consummated with little apparent diff
!culty.
The experience of Wrangcl is the same
rs that OF other Russians who have risen
against the Bolshevists. He has collapsed
as did kolchsk, Denikine and others just
MS soon as Moscow was in q position to
deal with them singly. And it seems
certain now as ever before that the Boil
shevist regime is not to be destroyed by
military force If it is to perish, it must
go down through failure from within.
Eventually hunger death and desolation
may prccipitate q popular revolution within
the Russian nation itself which will over
throw the communistic state which now
exists y breakdown of the Soviet system
might be expected to accomplish more than
all the oDe-man uprisings with which that
system may be assailed from the outside.
Unless that breakdown comes, il seems flu
tie for small armies Of Russians to sncri-
fee themselves in an effort TO rescue their
country from Il regime supported by the
FAR greater mass of their follow country
men.
FOR many weeks reports have reached
Tie American government through official
channels that the domestic situation with
in the heart of Russia could hardly be more
desperate. There is All appalling shortage
or food 1t is said. The transportation sys-
TEN has gone to pieces. Production is
limited in all quarters and has ceased in
many districts Clothing and medicines are
at terrible premium The suffering which
has heen imposed by Soviet rule, plus the
allied blockade, is becoming next TO 'un-
bearablc.
This may or may not be true picture
OF conditions in the territory controlled y
tho Bolshevists If 1t is true at the be
ginning of a Russian winter then it is not
too much to expect that soon or late the
people themselves, maddened by hunger
and driven to extremites by disease, will
take matters into their own hands. cast
out the government that Expresses them
and dcprives them OF the right to live as
human beings. and call upon the outside
world 20 witness their regeneration.
Ii there is hope of Russian salvation, it
seems to lie III that direction. II does not
lie in the power which would-bc deliverers

aid OF outside nations.
