result in attracting widespread
sympathies to the Russian revolu-

Humanity has now made so dis
astrous an experiment of COM

is to be hoped that the fall of the
communist regime and the return,
however slow. to an individual

brought about by the same men
who made the revolution. The
laws of life will once more reveal
themselves as being Infinitely su-

HHOSE statesmen of Europe who
expect to participate in the
disarmament conference to be
held in Washington in No
-vember are already packing their dip
lomatic kit bags. and when they ar
rive in Washington there will be aired
a flood Of views and arguments for
practical settlement of every question
pending before the world today.
There MAJ be serious attempts to
curtail the scope of discussion, con-
fining deliberations to the main ques-
tions involved, disarmament and the
questions pertaining to the Pacific. but
1t can be taken for granted that Lloyd
George and BRAND. the leaders OF old
world diplomacy, are not coming to
this conference and not take advan-
tage of the occasion to peddle their
nationalistic political wares.
Both might be likened to travelling
statesmen who are coming here to sell
their goods. And goods they have in
plenty, but whether the American
government will choose to listen and
thereby involve this country in many
selfish schemes is another question.
VIII Seek Triple Alliance.
Premier Lloyd George will undoubt-
edly try to bring about a great triple
alliance between the United States.
Japan and Great Britain. During the
week just closed he announced that
this is one of the things to be striven
for. making it plain to those In
America who have hoped for such
eventuality, that Great Britain would
not and could not turn her back upon
any Anglo-Japanese alliance.

there is a strong division of opinion
among the dominion council as to
the advisabilty of perpetrating war

believes that in case of conflict with
America England might be drawn In,
Notwithstanding specific stlpulatfons
to the contrary. However, if Lloyd
George can obtain the consent Of this
country to enter a triple agreement
pertaining to far eastern questions
he will believe that he has removed
the possibilities of war in the Paci-
fic and at the some time kept England
aligned with Japan in such fashion
as to protect the future Of England's 8
Pacific dominions-

backed by Lloyd George, but inas-
much as he is one of the cleverest
politicians in the world today, he

HAVE always been decidedly

Former Premier Of Italy.
7 HAVE always been decidedly
opposed to bo,shevism, even
when certain currents of opin-
ion manifested themselves in
favor of recognizing the republic
Of the soviets. 1t is impossible to
recognize a state which is based
on violence and which, in its rela-
tions with other states. almost in
variably has In view the accom-
plishment of an active revolution
ary propaganda. At the very out
side,. limited commercial agree
ments might be arrived at, to the
exclusion of cordial International
relations.
Ancient Italy was, throughout
her history, the most hospitable o.
countries; the cult Of her ''fa-
cials." or herald priests. was the
cult of sound international laws.
Rome extended a generous well
come to all religions to all peoples.
But even the most tolerant Of
states cannot recognize those who
violate the laws of hospitality by
promoting disorders in the coun-
tries which harbor them. Unfortu-
nately. if the complete absence OF
relations with Russia is harmful to
the economic situation Of the
whole world. Italy may be said to
be the greatest sufferer from this
state of things. More than any
other country Italy feels the sever
ing Of trade relations with Russia,
because practically the whole Of
her commerce and consequently
the price of freights and Of mer-
chandise' have been based for over
half a century on her traffic with
the Black sea.
~ -
The ships which left British ports
with q full cargo for Italy usually
went on to the Black sea, where
they took in a cargo Of oil, grain,
ETC.. and returned to England, after
calling for extra cargo at Italian
ports and for iron ore in Spain.
For quite long period Italy en-
and paid for her coal almost at the
same rates at which it was quoted
in England.
Russia's present situation is,
therefore, chiefly damaging to
Italy. Great Britain has Mediter-
ranean interests; France is partly
q Mediterranean nation, but Italy
is wholly and exclusively a Medit-
erranean nation. Although Italy
has q, special interest in resuming
direct relations with Russia, the
Italian government has understood

II must be confessed, however,
that nothing is more deplorable
than the policy hitherto followed
by the countries Of the entente.

treated az representatives Of .

Is graver still. some of the coun-
tries of the entente have subor-
dinated their recognition to GER
tain unjust guarantees on Rus
sia's part, including the promise to
fulfill all her obligations, fnclud-
ing. above all. the payment of her
pre-war debts.
1t would have been impossible to
follow a more mistaken course,
But two facts have taken place
which are leading US, quite apart
from. and, indeed, in spite OF any
political action on our part, toward
a new settlement Of our, relations
with Russia. 49,
The first Is that all the military
enterprises launched against the
government Of Moscow have ended
so disastrously that the entente

history had ever taught anything.
these grave errors might easily
have been avoided. 1t was only
after the military reverses of the
generals of the old regime that
western Europe finally opened her
eyes and would have nothing to do
with the Denikens and Wrangles,
in whom she had foofishly placed
her trust.
The second fact. Of flrst-rate i'm
portance. is Russia's steady and
progressive abandonment of the
communist system.
We cannot diagnose bolshevism
correctly with our western mental
ity. 1t is not popular or revo-
lutionary movement, but the re-
ligious fanaticism Of eastern ortho-
doxy grated on to the trunk Of

mentally from those by which. the
Russian empire, originally nothing
but the duchy Of Muskovy. de-
veloped into the most colossal state
Of the world. Bureaucratic and
centralizing bolshevisn1 follows,
without the slightest originality, in
the political footsteps of czarism.

But the most important phenome-
non which we are now witnessing
is that Of the rapid collapse of COM

Russian peasants nowadays do not
go in for farming unless in their

The government Of Moscow itself,
which up till last year appeared to
be uncompromisingly intransigent,
has urged the Caucasian republics
not only to recognize private prop
erty. but also to spare no efforts in
restoring trade with foreign coun-

The action Of the House military

to lie in promoting and encouraging
individual effort and interest.
The Russian communist expert
ment may be regarded as a COM
plete failure, inasmuch as instead
Of proving an attractive example
to the working masses, 1t has re-
vealed itself as a short cut to utter
disaster and ruin.
1t does not follow, however, that
Russia's present situation may be
judged from a different standpoint
trary to human nature can never
be durable, and all that commun-
ism could do was to keep up mis-
cry and ruin from which new
form of life may emerge, form Of
life which we cannot as yet well
understand or define, But bolshe-
visit Russia can rely on two ele-
ments which do not usually figure
In our reckonings: The apathy and
Incidence Of the people on the one
side and powerful military or
ganization On the other. No peo-
pie, save the Russian, would have
resisnedly undergone the immense
misery and untold sufferings which
many tens of millions of Russians
appear to bear without complaint.
But, on the other hand. 1t must be
admitted that no other people,
plunged in SO deep a amorass Of mis-
cry and suffering. could possibly
nave organized and maintained SO
powerful and well disciplined an
army as the army Of revolutionary
: Russia.
Therefore. all those who fondly
nope Tor the impending collapse Of
the Russia Of the soviets are des-
timed to disappointment, as their
hopes are based on the same ideas
and prejudices which have >hith-
erto rendered the policy of the
entente SO absurd and contradic-
tory.
Russia must still go through a
long period Of depression. It is
not possible to count on a rapid
revival Of her economic activity,
but we can easily foresee the dis
appearance Of. all forms Of COM
munisttc production and the for
matiOn hn non noa OF landed property held
Russia's economic resurrection
cannot take place but slowly and
gradually. after 80 great a dis
aster. and necessarily with the
help OF Germany. The Germans
alone will be able to revive the
immense territories which war
and revolution have laid waste;
the Germans will reorganize the
industries and create new sources
Of wealth. No other country Of
Europe could give Russia SO numer-

reconstruction. All are faced by
too many dificulties to overcome

maintain the positions created by
the war.
