Russia has great machine shops, and

motives stand broken on the tracks
and all bo1shevism can think of is
to buy new ones of some country that
will sell them. Industrial Russia is
paralyzed. Social Russia is dead
Political Russia is administered by
machine guns.
This is what bolshevism has made
Of its opportunity. Its chosen field,
its chosen tools show this result All
it has accomplished is the destruc-
ton, so far as it was able, of the
great middle class that gave Russia
its strength and vitality Bolshevism

gence, shot, hanged and drowned

ing amid the wreckage it has made

A social adventure ending in ghast-
ly failure is what Colonel Ryan calls
it. It is that and more. 1t is a crime
