nitch's commissariat to local Esthonian dealers. that at present about a fourth of the male population in Esthonia is wear ing this clothing, some of which is still to be had very cheap i6 the shops. Even afte' trains had been loaded up with British ma terial for Yudenitch's soldiers at Narva they sometimes arrived at their destination abso- lutely empty, and no coherent explanation of this strange disappearance was ever fur nished by the slightly inebriated Russian officers in charge of the conveys.
 What happened to the British and Amer ican supplies sent to Kolchak and Denekin was even worse. for owing to the hopeless muddle in the White Russian cemmissariat arrangements the Reds got most of them.
 John Bull is beginning, however. to knit his brows very sternly; but probably he will relax into a pleasant smile when he is told that old man Lenine has been swindIed, too
 J. B. has loaned a hundred million pounds to men who told him Gin confidencej that Lenine was going to collapse; and Lenine has lost about the same amount to men who told him (also in confidence) that J. B. was going to collapse. The suspicion now arises that the same people may have been getting money out of both of them; and, far from being extravagant supposition. this has always been the ordinary procedure in Rus sian history. And perfectly sure that many of the spies employed by England. France and America in Russia are at the same time in the pay of Lenine.
 For the last three years they have been getting money out of Lenine by telling him that in a few weeks more there will be universal revolution, and at the same time they have been getting money out of the Entente and Uncle Sam by telling them that Lenine is just about finished.
 That Lenine must have made some dis covery in this connection is evident from the heated manner in which, after profess ing for years the utmost certainty in uni versa1 revolution, he denounced as mad" any one who entertained such an absurd ex- pectation He made this denunciation, it will be remembered, at the Tenth Commun- ist congress toward the end of March. Up to that time he had been receiving foreign er1lissaries of revolution almost daily. Some of the most extreme and confident of them he discovered to be envoys of the American Government. Others were British or French

agents. Others were journalists who posed a S Bolsheviks in order to get "copy' and who afterward attacked him in the "cap- italistic'' press of Europe and America The few who were honest fanatics were also fools,
 Most of them borrowed money or jewelry from him, but repudiated Bolshevisn as soon as they got out of Russia, and built them selves comfortable houses. Everybody who touched Ienine's gold seemed to turn imnne dately into "bourgeois'' with strong views about the Sanctity of private property 1rn- pecunious desperadoes whose lives had been spent. partly in Communist agitation and partly in jail became respectable members of society as soon Lenine advanced them something flor propaganda purposes. It was not long before Vladimir 1lyich dis covered to his horror that, instead of mak- ing Communists, he was unnal6ing them. Thanks to his liberality they were embrac- ing Christianity, becoming steady church members, marrying, investing their money in safe capitalistic concerns, settling down comfortably and forgetting all about Mos- COW.
 What put the final touch on Lenine's dis iIIusionment was the discovery that the swar1ns of French and Italian Socialists who visited Russia during the first three months Of the present year were mostly in the pay of their respective governments or acting as agents of the French capitalists ana Russian s. R.'s who were behind the kron- stadt revolt. After making this discovery Lenine shook his head sadly and said that all his trust in humanity had gone; men liked their chains; he wasn't gorng to be a philanthropist any longer; he had had enough of it in three years to last him a lifetime.
 The Pontiff of the kreInlin finally discov cred to his disgust-for he has a lot of shrewd common sense-that he had drifted into the position of a mild mental case with a mania for giving away money, and had accordingly become surrounded by a gang of the greediest foreign sharks that eyer invaded Russia. He has, therefore, turned over a new leaf. An English mis- sion will soon be on its way to Moscow, so the old man is tidying himself up bit and putting his bombs out of sight.
 People do not consider sympathetically enough the worries of a man in the position of Lenine and the heartless frauds that have been perpetrated upon him, and for which

rounded as it is by capitalist countries Rus sia must naturally utilize in the work of reconstruction not only the labor class, which furnished it with ideal leaders in the struggle for better future, but also the peasants and the inteligentsia. The Rus sian emigrants abroad are wearing them selves out in the hopeless effort to find work and are slowly dying off The only ones among them who are able to help themselves to the bourgeois roast beef the repre- sentatives of the militant Black Hundred clioue And meanwhile Russia is a land which offers work to an unlimited number of workers.
 "In every department of industry we are suffering from the lack of qualified work men. We have now before the question of utilizing those classes of the Russian emigration which have for many years been wandering wearily in the bourgeois paradise and who have finally come to the conclusion that the only way to build up the Russian State and Russian culture is by cooperation with the Soviet Government of workers and peasants.''
 This appeal from Moscow comes just at the time when Esthonia is trying to induce the 90,000 Russian Weary Willies who are living in a wretched condition here to move somewhere.
 The Esthonian Foreign Minister in the House the other day said that he had done his best to get such of them as wanted to go back to Russia to do so, and such of

Lofty Phrases Coined by Lenine
 Already Are Suffering Depreciatio

All great movements of humanity whether right wrong, begin with these large phrases. which retained even after they have become meaningless. Lenine's lofty phrases about "the Government of the poor and the oppressed" already have suf fered much depreciation the Russian ruble, and nobody need take them very riously if he continues to find them bedded in the official correspondence of the Soviet Republic as long as that system of government lasts.
 Bolshevism a fierce blaze while it lasted, but it would not have lasted long had it not been for intervention which brought patriotism to the aid of Commun- ism, for the triumph of I<ochak or Denekin would probably have meant the restora ton of Czarism Almost immediately after inter vention ceased Bolshevism in its original form also ceased. The interventionists had ways been ruled by a small group of people Lenine and his friends have at present got hold of the steering gear in Moscow We have only got to knock them the head and the whole machine is ours.'
 But the machine sided with Lenine be- cause, though impossible person in most respects. he certainly anti-Czarist, while his opponents. though representing every . shade of on-Bolshevil< opinion. undoubtedly would have ended up in Czarism. For they were fighting under Czarist generals and ad- mirals who if they had once got to Moscow would have had little mercy on the S R-s, MensheviSs, Anarchists and others who has helped them to get back

Red Chiefs New Policies
 Set Forth in His Own Words

SGL r OIIA III HIS CWH " CEQS
 From this it will be seen that Leninss original theory that he alone possessed the truth and that all who differed from him should be anathema. is being modified by circumstances. He has even denounced Bol- shevik bureaucratism himself in very strong language, and he has entirely given up his dream of world revolution
 "Is there any one so mad,' he said, "as to believe that a world revolution will come to assistance? don't believe that there is a single person in this hall who expects it."
 This remarkable declaration was made while Lenine was defending his decision to grant concessions to foreign capitalists. We cannot hold out in isolation till world revolution comes''-such was the gist of his speech-"for there signs whatever of a world revolution. We must, therefore. grant concessions to the capitalists of bourgeois States.
 Tn order to improve the relations between the workers and the peasants we must change our policy towards the peasants and allow them to own part of their farms. Some of their crops shall take, but we shall allow them to possess the rest of it. and shall respect their proprietarial rights. We shall have to agree to free trade. We shall also have to admit the right of pri- vate property in the case of the small crafts man until in ten years great Socialistio industries can be established We must de. velop our trade with capitaIistic countries, for without foreign assistance we can makS no progress. We must improve the positfos of the peasant and leave him free to attend to his farm"
 This, of course. means the end of BoI- shevisTn the world understands Bol- shevisrn. Private property is reestabIfshed. Private trade is allowed. Capitalism is aI- lowed. Individual enterprise is permitted Artisans allowed to work for money. Farmers are allowed to own their farms. Foreign capital is permitted to enter the country.

Leniue in Tenth Congress
 Admits BoIshevik Mistakes

During the PetroGrad and Kronstadt crisis Lenine was delivering a whole series of speeches at the tenth congress of the Com munIst party in Moscow, where his position was for a time as preCarious as it was in Petrograd. A bitter wave of opposition to "Bolshevik bureaucracy" had swept through the congress, and Lenine as well as his whole party, was in danger of being sub merged by it, but the Red Car stuck to his guns and managed to bring every one round to his way of thinking.
 On March g he spoke about critical pamphlet called "The Opposition of the Workn1en," which had been launched at him by Shlyapnolov and others, who denounced "Bolshevik bureaucracy Why didn't yolI Genounce it." asked Lenine, when you were yourselves National ConInissars?" KisaIev also denounced it. Why didn't you fight against bureaucratisn1, kiselev," asked I.e- nine, when you were at the head of the Technical Department" ?" These home thrusts settled Kiselev, Kollonta Shlyapnokov & Co.
 We all know" continued Lenine, that have bureaucratism, but beyond telling us that we have it our critics say nothing. This, then, is the purest demagogy. It is very easy to criticise the leading Commits but the non-party workman understands your criticism to be the war cry of Down with the departmentt' and the Socialist Revolutionaries understand it in the same way. If agreed to your views would admit the existence of anarchical force not only among the workmen but also in the ranks of our own party, and that can never admit"

Red Oratory Likely 10 Continue,

Lenine, nevertheless, will be bound to outpourings of ultra -Bolshevik oratory. But Americans. who are fairly well accustomed to 'thot air. at home, should learn to smile tolerantly at the redhot blasts which will blow across now and then from Moscow; for it does not matter so much what the Bol- shevik leader says so long as his actions show that he is really trying to establish sensible system of government.
 Lenine has publicly admitted that he has made, to use his own expression, great mis- takes;' that he did wrong in sezing all the crops of the peasant on the pretext that rything belonged to the State: that his belief in a universal revolution was mad" and that his treatment Of the small crafts man based on thoroughly false prin- ciples. Further than this one could not eX- pect him to go.
 A complete recantatfon there will never be and there cannot be, for if Lenine pub icly renounced all his principles Russia would turn on him and ask him why he had not renounced them three years ago and thus spared Russia all the suffering and misery which the application of those prin- ciples entailed.

 RIVAL, Saturday.
 4 GREAT change is certainly taking A place in Russia, but we must be prepared for frequent outbursts of Communist fury and the occasional cruci- fxion of capitalists who venture into the lions den before the animals have been com pletely tanned by Trainer Lenine. The entire motive force of BolshevisIn up to the present has beer Socialist fanaticism of extreme type; and no leader of men can excite fanaticism of any kind without having trouble with it afterward when he himself becomes more moderate.
 Lenine, therefore, may run some danger from his own stalwarts, for he is shifting the props on which his power rests, and the pillars of his throne may not want him. He got into power the Communist ticket and now he is carrying out bour- geois programme; but for the sake of their skins and on account of Lenines great the most part continue to support him, while the other hand the peasants platoni: affection for the old order may easily be transferred to any one who confirms him in possession of the land he has stolen.
