have been a superficial force. Its cries have become stereotyped and meaningless. like unfortunately, many of the formal prayers some of learn in childhood or read in church without really refecting on what We are saying. No movement in history has burned itself out soon, and the reason Is that it fed on the brushwood and never seized on the timber. It ragged among the dried twiss that had blown in or fallen down; it never touched those great silent oaks-the peasants.
 As Lenine was forced by circumstances to change, he may be prevented by circum- stances from changing back again. History is full of such examples. America and Flu rope will, after all, have reason to grumble if Russia gets from Lenine even a barely possible system of government in stead of the utterly impossible system that she has had for the last three years. If we start insisting that every government in tho world must come up to the highest western standard and refuse to have anything to do with it if she does not, we shall have no end of trouble on our hands.
 Meanwhile a British official mission is now on its way to Moscow, and British firms are getting ready to repair Russian locomotives and to supply new ones- I met here in Reval the other day a MT. Grirnshaw, a Yorkshire man, representing the great cloth manufacturers of his native county, wa1 has just sold Lenine f150,000 worth of Eng fish cloth and got paid in gold and platinum f2Oo 900, which gives him f5o,0o0 to go on

 America is rather getting left behind, I am afraid, both in Russia and in the Baltic States, which are the doors to Russia.

Wilton.

 And HeID Build Up Russia
 Significant in connection with the new regime promised by Lenine is an appeal published in the Moscow press asking all Russian emigrants to return home and help to build up their country, where there is nIe0ty of work for them, while there is none outside The appeal reads as follows:
 During the last few days the Soviet Re public signed three treaties. By far the most important of these was the treaty with England the greatest capitalist coun- try in the world and one which to large extent determines the policy of all nations. The last attempt to make the peace negotla- lions break down was the hronstadt nu- tiny, and. in connection with 1t, the cam paign of Calumny which was let loose.
 "\o doubt among the Russian enigrants these events called forth the differences which had manifested themselves on pre- yioIs occasions The Monarchist- Black Hundred elements constitute the most mili- tant section of the Russian counter revolu- tion but these elements will be powerless if that great mass of the (exiled) intelli- gentsia, which is not bound by economic ties with the reactionary bourgeois and landlord class. learns lesson from the events of the last few days.
 New conditions that have arisen in the sphere. of international politics dictate to us a new avenue of approach to the question of Russian emigration The unparalleled damage that has been inflicted on our coun- try after seven years of uninte rrupted war must be repaired soon possible. Sur
