mitted men to accumulate wealth
through their own efforts. Another
was to destroy individualism by the
ohliteration Of the sacred family life.
In this connection Il was proposed to
take children away from their parents
and place them in the hands Of the
state, which would look after their edu-

Other aims included the nationalist
tion OF land aud the spreading OF com
munistic propaganda, far and wide.

of the world.

observations made last year, Mr.. Nor

industries, however. he pointed out. are

land naturalization project, he eX-

/ pleasure of the peasants, who consti-
| tute So per cent. of the population.
The effort TO break the family ties
has made easier divorce laws, but Is
largely failure as far as the plan 10
make the State the overseer of the
children is concerned, he said.'

Bolshevik regime the tyranny OF the

The Bolsheviks say they can only sue
coed in their revolutionary movement
by not allowing the majority to have d
voice in the government. and until al
the other great producing nations of
the world embrace communistic doc
trinos.
