1t is clear that the soviet govern
ment is revertins to capitalism as rap
idly as il can without losing its COM
nunistic support. But Lenin, Kalenin
and other leaders frankly admit in
their addresses that this is being done
only after stores of manufactured ar
tictes and financial resources have
been exhausted. They also say the
change is being made merely to get
breathing spell for another attack on
world capitalism.

Karl Radek, BoIshevik Writer,
+. Tells of Historic Return
of Lenin.

RIGA, Latvia, December 5.--Karl
Radek, the bolshevik writer and prop
agandist, has published an article In
the Moscow Pravada's edition cele-
brating the fourth anniversary of the
Lenin revolution. in which Radek de-
nies the widely circulated story that
the bolshevik revolution in Russia
was financed by German gold.
Radek's article is devoted to de-
scription 81 the historic return Of
Nilloiai Lenin from Switzerland
through Germany to Russia IN the
spring of 1917, with the permission
of the German government. THIS was
the beginning OF the revolution and OF
Russia's withdrawal from the war.
Radek asserts that Lenin and his
party of forty sent an emissary TO
the German minister in Switzerland
asking free passage for al emlgrantS
who wanted to return to Russia and
lGsistipS that during their passage
the German government should not
attempt to enter into communication
with them.
Agreed to Conditions.
"On our side" Radek asserted, 1--WE

ers of war in Russia and also to eX-
peu1se tES beI4iliil anus
from Russia to Germany.
After a little time, the German
government agreed to our conditions.
OF course. it was quite clear to us that
the German government intended to
speculate on this episode. reckoning
that after our arrival in Russia we
would work for peace. But this con-
lecture interested us very little. for
we knew that if IN Russia the revolu-
ton took proletarian turn, then its
influence would tell far beyond the
confines of Russia"
The party. says Radek. had an es-
cort of German officers, and when 1t
halted at railway stations. secret
agents surrounded it to keep the Ger
man soldiers and other persons away
from the dangerous bolsheviki.
Received 800 krener.
The returning emigrants were SO
hilarious that Lenin had to take over
.4Secutive authority and bring about
Some order.
One attempt was made while the
train was passing through Germany,
says Radek, to sound, out the party on
the question OF working for peace
with Germany. This was made. he de-
declares. by a German who said he
wanted to greet the Russians in the
name of the central commission of
German trade unions, but Radck be-
lieved he was acting in behalf of the
German government. The bolsheviki
Radek says. refused to deal with him
The Russian party then went to
Stockholm. where, says Radek. I'VE
received 500 Swedish kroner. which
apparently was that vast sum which
was figuring in all tales OF French
patriots as German gold funds sup
piled for the Russian revolution"

Eating Green Bread.
When asked what the family had

of green bread which lay on the stove
and said there had been nothing else
for hts family in ten days. He threw
open an adjoining room and pointed
to a pile of the improvised flour"
out of which the bread was made.
1t was nothing but ground-up grass,
