THE BIRTH OF THE RUSSIAN DE-
MOCRACY. BY A. J. Sack The
Russian Information Bureau, New
York
THE one thing clear about the
birth of Russian democracy is
that it is not yet completely
born What may appear when The
birth struggles are over is still prob
lematic, but one may go so far as TO
believe that, in any case, it will not be
a return to despotism or any form of
autocracy. Al least something that
may fairly be called democratic is sure
to emerge Such studies as Mr.. Sacks
are useful. as Demonstrations. as we'll
as valuable as documents for the
critical historian of the next genera
ton, though. as yet, anything like i'm
partial criticism or even unbiased un-
derstanding of apparent facts is inn
possible. At best one can only guess.
This is a third edition. revised, and
brought right down to date. Mr.. Sack
is director of the Russian Information
Bureau in the United States. and has
unusual facilities of access to docu
ments and to current records of events.
Mr. Sack speaks from the standpoint
of those who hope to see the Bolshevik
regime succeeded by a stable demo-
cratic government. functioning through
a representative Constituent Assembly.
Details necessarily remain vague, but
the plan is clear. 1t is also clear that
this segment of Russians aims at n
unified nation, more or less on the old
geographical lines, and considers the
separatist movements like that of the
Ukraine and the Baltic provinces as
cphemeral One needs to bear this
point of view in mind in reading the
book
The first half of the volume gives
an admira bly, lucid summary sketch
of the whole revolutionist movement
in Russia for the last century to the
cataclysm of 1917. 1t is one of the
best of such tabloid histories-if one
constantly hears in mind the writer's
starting point Like the rest of the
book it is very fully illustrated with
photographs. some of which are rari-
ties The whole book contains AZ full
page illustrations. with 154 more in
the text. 1t includes pictures of nearly
all leading figures of recent times.
The second section of the book Is
detailed analysis of developments
since the revolution of 1917, given, in
so far as possible, in the form of Of
fetal documents and acts of the Pro-
visional Government, the records of
the Councils of Workmen's, Soldiers
and Peasants Delegates and the min
utes of proceedings of the various par
liaments and conferences. 1t aims, in
fact, to reproduce (some in fac simile)
all important documents of the revo-
luton from March. 1917. 1t is thus a
mine of information to the student,
though, doubtless. the result needs
critical examination. The range is
wide. including the political pro-
erammes of nearly all factions and
groups-strange medley of a democ-
racy in the making. As a reservoir of
data as to current opinion the book is
invaluable.
The final chapter is a resume of
Russia under the rule OF the Bolshe-
Wiki Mr.. Sack Is hopeful of a change
though he realizes that the lack of
unity among the -Bolshevik forces
has thus far defeated any attempt at
a solution

i'arn,er Browns Boy whistled rner
rily as ne tramped across the Green
Meadows on his way to the Smiling
Pool. That whistle was good to hear.
Danny Meadow Mouse, scurrying
along one Of his private little paths
through the grass, paused to listen.
Sitting there listening all by himself,
he grinncd.
"Hc sounds happy muttercd Danny.
Il hope he is happy. He never for

when. he has his lunch down here on

two-legged creatures were Ike him.
But most Of them are tcrlibic.'
Danny sighed. Then he scurried on
along his private lttlc path.
Johnny Chuck sat up on his door

Johnny's face was all wrinkles. for
Johnny was grinning, too, as he
watched and listened. At his feet
lay handful Of tender lettuce leaves.
They had not been there when Farm

they were there, he and Johnny knew
who had left them.
