outside nations, the Soviet government
has found that its ideal of complete Com
munism simply will not work. The Rus
SLAMS themselves repudiated it from the
first, in the peasant refusal to allow
common ownership of the land. Little
by little Lenine has been yielding, con-
ceding the right of private land owner
ship, extending ownership rights to many
kinds of private property, calling III ex-
pert factory managers to rescue the fac
tories from the inefficiency of the prole-
tariat, permitting the use of money and
the re-estabishment of private banks
charging interest. and many other things
never contemplated in his original plan.
1t is but logical and inevitable thing
if he and his co-wOrkers are finally per
suaded to return to full ''capitalistic
freedom" which is to say, the usual
rights of private ownership in property
of all sorts and the transaction of bust
ness privately for gain in the usual
way.
True Communism never has worked ex-
cept in very primitive communities. If
it is ever to work on a big scale in the
modern world, with its complex industry
and its vast population, it will hardly be
until human activities have become far
more systematized than they are at pres
emit, and human nature has become far
more disciplined and improved.

INNOCENT WALL STREET.

An hOnest-lOoking youth walked into
the office of firm of Wall Street invest
ment bankers and asked whether they
had any securities to be delivered. They
had, and turned over to him without
question a package containing $4,000 in
negotiable bonds. The honest looking
young stranger disappeared, and so did
the bonds.
1t was too easy, There have been
stories, during the last year or two, of
the theft of millions of dollars worth of
securities in that famous financial gulch.

Where Saving Is.

Thousands of government clerks are to
be dropped from the government payrolls,
beginning this month Directly after
there will doubtless arise cries from
certain sources which have been calling
loudly for economy that the government
has accomplished something But it
must be remembered that congress de
creed the cut months ago when it passed
the appropriation bills for the fiscal year
1922, beginning on July 1. Little impress
sion is made by the wild demands of some
members of the press that congress must
cut down expenditures, for it is realized
under the Republican administration,
when both the executive and legislative
branches of the government can work to-
gether for economy, and it is known, too,
hundreds of millions of dollars were saved
last winter when the bills for the next
fiscal year were written.

Strengthening cattle" But you can do
much toward preventing the development
of tuberculosis in the human family by
protecting people from tuberculosis in
cattle, which, in the end amounts to eradi-
cation, partial or complete, of tuberculo-
sis in the human family. That, as we
understand it, is the whole basis for the
efforts now being made in Vermont to
wipe out tuberculosis among cattle by
destroying those already affected.
