Russia but Stepladder
To World Communism

1t has sometimes been suggested that
the Soviet Government and the comm
tern are two different things, but to
me they seem one and the same thing.
The Russian Government is as much
behind this congress as the British
Government is behind the Houses of
Parliament Lenine founded the comm
tern and, though not yet fully recovered
from his recent illness, he has taken
the keenest interest I'm the present as
sembly. He sent a letter of greeting
when they opened their proceedings;
and last week he spoke to them for
an hour. though he did not appear at
the Opera House on November Z, when
the Russian Communists celebrated
their party holiday. II is clear, con-
sequently, that the head of the Rus
sian State has a far greater affection
for the International Communist party
than he has for Russia In Lenine's
eyes, Russia is only a stepladder lead
ing to universal revolution and world
wide Communism; when that ladder
has served his purpose Lenine will
not care what becomes of Ii.
When Vladimir Ilyich and Trotzky
failed to turn up at the first meeting
of the Comintern in Petrograd some
people here who would like to see the
Soviet Government confne its at
tention to Russia said: They are
going TO give the international the
cold shoulder" And this seemed a
reasonable view TO take in view OF
Lenine's abandonment OF Bolshevism
last year as well as of his keen de-
sire TO reopen trade with foreign
countries and to induce America, Eng
land and France to recognize his Gov
ernment.
But at the congress the words and
actions of Lenine and all his sub
ordinates indicate no softening what
evor on the question OF Communism.
II they have temporarily dropped their
rolshevist program II is only that
they may take It up later. They hate
the Russian merchants who have
started business again. They hate
every individual effort which is being
made TO build up Russian economies.
They hate foreign capitalists and con-
cessionaires. though they must for the
present speak gently and alluringly to
them. They still believe in Karl Marx
and are determined sooner or later TO
make Russia Communist State.
Their own capitalists and foreign capi-
taiists may ultimately be too strong
Tor them Government capitalism may
prove an impossible SYSTEM The day
for again bringing in full Communism
may never come. But ] certainly
think that Lenine and his lIeutenants
are still Communists and still be.
lieve In the world revolution
In strong contrast to their lack Of
interest on November Z. the Bolshe-
visit leaders are now working hard
and enthusiastically in the Comintern
Congress-. Trotzky, Radek, Kalinin,

Moscow, Dec. 10.
"H HERE is in session here just
now an assembly which openly
- incites its followers in every
land, save Russia, to overthrow not
only their Governments but also their
whole governmental and economic
systems and to inaugurate deliber
ately a worldwide civil war of the
classes which would certainly be in
the last degree destructive, savage,
bloody and ruthless. 1t is the Fourth
Congress of the Third Internationale
sitting in the throne room of the
Kremlin Palace.
1t contains many foreign repre-
sentatives, among them Americans,
Englishmen, F'renchmen, Germans,
Italians American negroes. japanese
and the deputies of Communist par
ties in most of the smaller countries
of Europe. They are organized in a
very businesslike manner.
Their method of procedure is like
a legislative assembly. Their program
of work is printed in the principal Eu-
ropean languages. They are the guests
of. the Russian Government There is
an information bureau in each of the
hotels and also in the Kremlin. There
are even language groups with seven
group secretariats, each working un-
der the secretariat of the comintern
Communist internationally. and this
arrangement enables the directors Of
the congress to deal with twenty-five
languages, excluding the languages of
the Middle East and the Far East, for
which there are separate groups.
The group secretary also provides
when-necessary, stenographers, typ
lists. interpreters, &C., and transmits
to the delegates notices of congress
meetings, commissions, &c. The tele-
phone connections between the vari-
our groups and the comintern build
ings are excellent. Communist IL
braries and reading rooms are at the
disposal of the foreign guests: more
over Communist doctors look after
their health and Communist washer
women look after their laundry. They
travel free on the Russian railways
and the Secretary of Communications
sees that they get the best places in
the trains.

kamenev and Zinoviev are up to the
neck in work connected with 1t and
frequently appear at the Red table on
the platform. They are also deliver
ing their best speeches.
The Bolshevist leaders SEEM, there
fore. to consider the formation of a
strong Communist party in western
Europe as their most serious task,
and their most interesting task. In
ternationalists all of them, without a
uncture of national feeling, they are
far more on their mettle before Amer

sian clodhoppers, for whom they prob
ably entertain a secret contempt The
conquest of the Kremlin is not enough
for them; they also want TO see the
Red flag wave over Potsdam, over Yer
sailles and over Buckingham Palace.
But how explain away, on this as
sumption, Trotzky's enthusiasm for
the Red army and Lenine's unceasing
work on the problem of Russian in
dustry? Yes, Trotzky speaks very
much of the Red army but never of
the Russian, army, for he sees the
army only as a proletarian force
meant to support revolution in CEN
tral Europe, never as Russian force
destined to reconquer the lands which
Moscow has lost. This is clearly proved
by many things. There is not a sin
gle national symbol worn by any Red
soldier, for the red star has no place
In Russian history.
Many of the military commissars
are Jews, without any trace of Rus

Commission now calls itself is run

executive arm of the Soviet Govern

and its very existence proves that the

have not the very smallest regard for
Russian nationality. Even in the
army all pride in Russia's great past.

ritory she acquired, is sternly frowned
upon by the Communist chiefs, who
look on Peter the Greats campaigns
as criminal wars of conquest and even
on the war Of 1912 as struggle be-
tween two emperors, into which Rus

class were dragged to be butchered In
hundreds of thousands, though the

Western Labor Leaders Fail
To Comprehend Communis,

Not only the conservative states
leaders OF the West, fail, as a rule. to
understand Russian Communism. Mr..
Clynes recently showed a complete
ignorance OF II when he asked the
Soviet Government to ratify the
Urquhart concession to improve the
chances OF labor at the polls during
the general election. That request
produced here an outburst Of indigna-
ton. with the echoes OF which Moscow
Is stiil ringing. According to the Boil
sheviki. Mr. Clynes made this request
because he thought the Labor party
deserved some reward for it's efforts in
favor OF the Soviet Governments rec
ognition, but he should have known
that the first care Of the Bolsheviki is
for international Communism, and
that Russia comes long way after.
In their eyes tho recognition of the
Soviet Government would be far out
weighed by the breach of Communist
principles involved in the ratification
of the Urduhart concession. They
would sooner see Russia poor and
Communist than rich and bourgeois:
and IL they did throw away many of
their Communist principles year and
a half ago when they started their
new economic policy. that action on
their part was due not so much TO
their desire for Russia's prosperity as
to their well founded fear that Russia,

Bofsheviki Make No Appeal
To Russian Iuternationalism

In Russia on November 1t is abso-
lutely different. Very many Of the in
scriptions are in foreign languages
and even the Russian inscriptions
make 1t clear that the Bolshevist vic
tory was a victory of the workers OF
the world over the capitalist and the
bourgeois caste. Even during the heat
of the civil war. even during the war
with Poland in 1920. when there was
such strong temptation for the Sovie,
Government to appeal to the national
dislike of the Poles. no such appeal
was ever made. All the war cartoons
of those days were aimed not at the
foreign nations which were fighting
against the Bolshevild but at the inn
perialist and governing class in
those nations. When, in 1919 English
soldiers tried TO advance inland from
Archangel the printed propaganda
distributed among them by the Boil
shevild never once attacked England
as a whole; it invariably attacked the
governing class in England. and ap-
pealed gently to such OF the foreign
soldiers as were themselves workmen
And the Soviet Government sends
forth its ENJOYS all over the world
even as Paul might have sent forth
Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achai-
Gus and Timotheus, only that Paul's
ENJOYS are instructed to preach love
while Lenine's ENJOYS are instructed
to preach hatred and class war.
Why do these hostile proceedings on
the part of European Government
cause so little excitement abroad? One
possible explanation have already
given-that we received so many
shocks during the last eight years that
nothing can shock us any more.
There may be another explanation
however. Nobody. perhaps. takes the
Bolsheviki very seriously. In the frs,
place they themselves admit that their
party In England is inflnitesimally
small: and they only make themselves
ridiculous by their portentous orders
and manifestoes TO this microscopic
group. The British Labor party. or
the contrary. they attack; and they
sometimes appeal TO tho rank and file
Of that party over the heads Of the
leaders, though they must know very
we'll that (unlixe the Bolshevist chiefs)
those leaders are freely elected by all
the worhmen. They have always de-
clared that IL is immaterial to them
whether a British Communist gets
elected to Parliament or not, since
they are against Parliamentarism. but

Lenine Allows His Neighbors
To Take Russian Territory

Lenine allowed Finland. Esthonia,
Latvia and Lithuania to have all the
land they wanted, though. in the case
of Esthonia at least, this involved the
loss by Russia of districts inhabited
by Russians. At Riga in 1920 he let
the Poles have the half Of White
Russia, though to much of this ter
ritory Poland has no just racial claim.
AS a result of these concessions many
Russian citizens came under foreign
rule and will probably, in course of
time, lose their national religion and
their national language: but Lehine
is trying as hard as he can to kill
the Russian national religion himself;
has no sympathy with Russians as
such; and no particular preference for
the Russian language.
Nationalism in none Of its mani
festations has any meaning for him;
he does not think in terms of race or
of territory hence 1t is that he is
such an enigma to Western states
men, and that his course is so in
culculable. Even the most worthless
of the Cars would have gone mad
with shame and rage if his country
had suffered the immense territorial
losses which Russia suffered at Brest
Litovsk, but those losses left Lenine
quite indifferent, for he regards as his
brother not Russian, as such, but the
Communist, to whatever race he may
belong.
1t has been suggested that all this

theory can be maintained In face OF
the facts have given above.
To everybody living in Russia the
international character of the Soviet
Government is one of its most strik-
ing characteristics, though to outsiders

already referred to the celebrations in
Petrograd and Moscow which marked
the last anniversary of the Bolshevist
revolution. The corresponding cele-
brations in France and in America. on
July IA and July a, are always ma
tional. They never fail to remind
those who take part in them and those
who look on Of the fall Of the Bastille
and the heroism of the French revo-
lutionary soldiers, Of the battle Of
Bunker Hill and the heroism of the
New England farmers. In one case
all the inscriptions are in the Ian
guage of the United States. and in
the other case they are in French.
There is no attempt to conciliate for

Little Stories For Bedtime
AMMY JAY PUTS ON
RY THoRNToN w. BURGESS

HIS THINKING CAP
sammy Jay had a great deal to
think about and so he went off by
hlmself TO a certain thick hemlock
tree In the Green Forest where he
could be quite alone. Now. whenever
Sammy Jay goes by himself that way
10 put his thinking cap on you may
make UP your mind that mischief Of
some kind is brewing in that small
mead of his. just now Sammy was
thinking about what he had over
neard Buster Bear say to Jumper the
Hare, and he was wondering how he
'ould get something out of it for him
Asslf You know, Sammy Is one of
whose people who try to profit by
the troubles of other people. He is
never so happy as when he can find
some one in trouble, because he is
Almost sure to find some way TO get
something for himself out of it.
one time Sammy happened along
when Chatterer the Red Squirrel and
Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel were
1uarrellng about some very fat choice
acorns. Each claimed them as his.
Sammy just urged them to fight for
them, and this is what they did.
While they were fighting Sammy car
lled away all the acorns. and when
finally they agreed to stop fighting

every one where only he could find
them. That was dishonest, very dis
honest. but you know. Sammy has

was smart. You and / know better,
but he didn't. and there are lot of
people in this world who are Just
like him.
Now Sammy knew very well that
Buster Bear was the strongest and
biggest of all the people who lived in
the Green Forest, and when he had
first seen Buster Sammy had been
very much afraid of him. Now he
wasn't afraid because he knew that
his wings would keep him out of
reach OF Busters cruel claws but he
had a great deal of respect for Buster
just the same and he wanted to do
something that would make Buster
his friend. When he overheard Bus
ter ask Jumper the Hare to try TO
find out for him where he could get
some honey Sammy smiled. He knew
that the only way that Jumper could
find out was by asking questions OF
those who lived in trees, for it Is hol-
low trees that Busy Bee stores up
honey. 70 be sure, Busy's big cousin
Bumble who makes such fuss
about everything he does, has little
storehouse in the ground, and possibly
Jumper might find this. But II ne
