Runners Of War. 4
/ At the present state of Russian his

side that country to state precisely
what are the. motives of the uprising
now in progress. 1t is conceivable
that there are several.
The. complete failure of the agri-
cultural and the Industrial programs
Is a very weighty The people
had been beguiled into believing that
q new day was dawning and still
they saw nothing but darkness around
them. There is very little to eat in
Russia. Clothes are scarce. Fac

would organize a government that
would be almost Immediately certain
of that official, recognition which has
bee withheld from the Soviet adj
ministration. Trade would revive.
The>whir Of the factory wheels would
be heard once more. The farmer
would till his soil. and the storekeeper
would esum business.
For this is the only thing that is
wanted In Russia - an important
thing, A stable government in which
other governments and nations can
have confidence. - 49,
That government esta blished, Rus.

of her troubles.
At this distance it appears. as
though there is. no Russian who. en-.
