making Of a trade agreement with the
Russian people provided certain con-
ditions are fulfilled which will lead to
the industrial regeneration Of that
country.
The communication from Lenine
appealing to President Harding to
follow the course Of Great Britain
and resume trade with Russia has
opened up discussion here in a sig
nihcant way.
Broadly speaking. the Harding Nd
ministration Is as anxious to dis
courage the growth OF Bolshevism in
the world as was the Wilson Admin
lstration. SO IL It were a question
OF giving moral recognition to the
triumph Of Russian BolsheviSm, the
matter wouldn't be given the slight
est consideration by President Har-
ding and his advisers
But the situation has changed
Three policies have been always pos
siblo with respect TO Russia. and
while one OF them has failed. the
others remain as possible sequels Of
the present state OF affairs. These
policies and their effects az dis
Guessed by members OF the Harding
Administration are as follows:
First External invasion. This has
been tried both by the Allied Powers
and the nter-revoluuopary ele-
ment which has the support OF the
Allies. The effect has been TO
strengthen the Bolshevists rather than
weaken them, for It has given Lenine
a banner around which to rally the
Russians,
Second--RevOlution from the inside.
The American Government in com
mon with the British Government Ia
unwilling 10 contribute anything to
the situation that may upset things
inside Russia without bringing In
ternal peace or external trade. Fur
thermore. more revolution means
chaos, anarchy and complete disinte-
grafton and a more complex recon
struction problem in the end than at
present.
Thlrd--BvOlution with the assist
anoe OF the United States and the
Allied PowerA This means rasump-
ton OF trade as Great Britain has
already done and the gradual wear
Ing down by moral factors Of the
policies OF the BOlBhevists that have
been obnoxious 10 the outside world.
Lenine has come a long way toward
the desired goal. Little by little he
has abandoned the tehets of Boil
snevism and permitted the return OF
the capitaliBtic theory.
First he gave In to the demand OF
the masses tor the private ownership
OF land. Then he surrendered the no.
ton about equal wages and permitted
the payment OF dlfferGntiRl wages--
the cornerstone Of capitalism. Nov
he 10 willing TO allow foreigners V
come In and work Russian Industries
although he Is reluctant about per
hitting Russians to do the same, be-
cause he says nalVely that the gov
ernment can control foreigners bu
ca mot always safeguard itself againS
