Soviet EnFey On I'm
periaIslr.
Litvinoff Explains Russian Policy on
Peace, Land and Labor.
By H. W. Nevinson.

COPENHAGEN.-eTh Russian
Government has absolutely no inn
perialist design" said M. Litvinoff.
1t aims neither at Constantinople nor
any other extension Of frontier. Peo-
ples," he continued, "should make
their own boundaries" apparently
by the decision Of the majorities.)
"The Soviet ideal is a federation Of
peoples attached to Russia by posi-
ion and economic relations.
"No military pressure should be
brought, for instance, against Georg-
ions or Lets or Ukranians il they
chose to stand aside (he admitted the
special difficulty Of the Ukraine ow-
ng to its rapid changes Of social or
der and government.) Secession
would be allowed to all, in the hope
that a natural economic alliance
would bring all together in time.
Russia has no concern with Con-
stantinople, and hopes the Turks will
be left free within their own bound
aries. Even Siberia can separate, if
1t chooses the national or burgeois
condition rather than the Soviet, as
Poland at present does. When the
Let's reconquered the Baltic pro-
lvinces from the Germans, Moscow
t once acknowledged their independ-
'ence and SO it has done throughout. ),
"As you know all work is national
ized so far as at present possible, and
wages are fixed by scale according
to occupation. Tntellectuals' who have
not run away are working at their
special profession under the State.
But I think, lawyers at least must
have a poor time, for the old law has
llapsed, and there cannot 'be many
legal disputes about property where
nearly all property is rstionalized. In
criminal cases the State provides a
counsel for defence.

which the scaffold had been erected.
Sheriff Charles w. Peters, later is
sued a statement answering critics
who opposed his action. The state
ment read as follows:
I'm my opinion the modern cod
ding of criminals by well meaning
but misguided, symapthetic, theret-
ical reformers and self-constituted
organizations, is one of the greatest
causes of the present crime wave in
this city. Their interference with
the vigorous enforcement Of the law
has destroyed The fear Of punishment
by criminals to the extent that it is
no longer detriment to the further
commission Of crime to be incarcerat-
ed in our penal institutions. A large
number or prisoners openly acknowl-
ledge that they would prefer to be in
carcerated in the county Jail, where
they are better fed and where sani-
tary conditions are far better thaa
in their ordinary environments.
"The reformers are constantly ad-
of laws which are for the purpose Of
vocating the adoption and enactment
alleviating the punishment Of the
criminal, forgetting and losing entire
sight of the protection that the law
abiding and peaceable citizen is en-
titled to as against these human pa
rasites.
IF one-half the energy now spent
in sympathy on murdered and crimi-
mails would be devoted to the families
of the victims and the other half to
bringing to justice the brutes who
have blotted out the lives of law
abiding and peaceful citizens and
darkehed forever the lives of others,
this would be happier and safer
world to live in"
When the moose was slipped over
he murderer's head, from one Of the
higher tiers came strident shout:
when do we eat?"
Tier by tier, cell by @ll the cry
was taken up. It became a roar above
which the warden's voice could not be
heard.
