has been a master OF intrigue and who has held

What then. will be the fate of Russia and which
way will her PEOPLE in their formation OF

II is significant that this government has just
withdrawn the recognition given the ambassador
Of the Kerensky regime. after five years residence
in this country. The government which repre-
sonted in this country has been forgotten in Russia.
buried in the swift tide OF events as complete
has been the old days OF the imperial car
Yet cor those five years this government kept
the pre;ense that he represented stable govern
rent and over a hundred of million dollars Of the
peoples money loaned him for his various
enterprises in this country.
Coupled with the news OF the imrending dssolu-
ton or Lenins Is a warning from a close friend OF
the administration. international adventurer who
made millions in the Transvaal who built great
railroads. - great engineer. that the soviet
government must not be recognized
{ His argument IS more than unpalatable 20 the

He says that we should have nothing 10 do with
Russia because the figures show that before the

Il has never questioned the kind OF government.
II has only asked whether It be the government
which the people OF the country want.
1t Is quite likely that with the master mind OF
the soviets gone, there viii be some compromise
from ne original plan Of Industrial communism.
The later advice OF Lenne is likely 10 be amplhed.
A republic. based on ballots not bayonets is 10 be

INCREASING INDUSTRY.

prophets OF coming events, look upon the revival
of the auto industry OF the truest signs OF
permanent prosperity.
Just a. important the creation Of wealth Tor
The happiness OF mankind is the proper distribution
or that wealth.
Mayor ssebirt and Mayor Dodge understand this
problem OF distribution when they fight an increased
rate on telephone service. That would take away
money from great body of PEOPLE and put 1t into

vhea 1t appears that the reason for such grao Is
that the present monopoly able to crush out a
weak competitor and wishes 20 collect on the
money lost to the former rivals stockholders
What Is essential the general prosperity is that
wealth be evenly distributed basis Of justice
and that there be neither great poverty and priva-
ION on the part OF the many in order to create
great fortunes for the few.
As an indication that the return OF wealth is dis

people are participating in this new wave. the

II there be any barometer Of general prosperity

If the news stories from Detroit be correct. the
Ford factories will turn out $500 each day this

That means that every minute this month there
viii be II men who have accumulated enough
money TO invest in an automobile, IL families who
are far above the border line OF hunger. II invest

Ford does not build cars for the rich. Re builds
them for the worker. the farmer. the artisan and
