We had already monopolized our

had to content ourselves for that

the spring. The winter of 1920
had been most terrible. People had
been dying from typhus, hunger
and cold. The thought that Peter
Kropotkin might go to his grave,
and the world never know what he
thought of the Russian revolution
was appalling.
I felt somewhat impatient. Kro-
potkin had braved the despotism OF
the Cars and the raids OF their
political Okhrana. Why could he
rot write now? It was ,ust like
the old. They forever dwell in the
past, while the present passes them
by. IL was only much later that
understood why Kropotkin had
been unable to write about the
events in Russia.

activity. Kropotkin referred to the
Co-operatives as the main medium
which, In his opinion, could have
bridged the interests Of the peasants
and the workers. But 1t was these
very Co-operatives which were
among the first TO be crushed.
He spoke with much heat Of the
depression, the persecution, the cruel
bounding of every political shade
and opinion, and he cited numerous
examples Of the misery and distress
Of the people. Above all he was
most emphatic against the Bolshevik
government for having thus dis
credited Socialism and Communism
in the eyes Of the Russian people. 1t
was a heart-breaking picture which
Kropotkin unrolled before US that
evening.
Reasons for His Silence.
Why, then. had he not raised his
voice against these evils, against the
machine which was sapping the life
blood from the revolution7 Kropot-
kin gave two reasons. First, because
so long as Russia was being attacked
by the combined imperialists of Eu-
rope, the Russian women and chill
dren were, starved to death by the
criminal Blockade, he could not join
the shrieking chorus of the ex-
revolutionists In the cry Of Cruelty
He preferred to keep silent for the
present.
Secondly. there was no medium Of
expression in Russia itself, hence no
way Of reaching the people. To pro-
test to the government was useless.
Its concern was to maintain its
power at any cost. 1t could, there
fore, not stop at such trifles at
human life or human rights. But
then, he added, I'VE have always
pointed out the blessings OF Marxism
in action. Why now be surprised?"
He Kept No Notes.
asked whether he was noting
down his Impressions and observa-
tons. Surely he must see the i'm.
portsnce of such a record to his
comrades, to the workers, In fact,
to the whole world. Kropotkin
looked at me for a moment, then
said:

attracting almost equal attention be-
cause of the sudden turn Of events
and the jeopardizing Of the woman's
life by her testimony at the trial Of
Handy some weeks ago.
Last fall Thomas Lewis, husband
of the accused woman, went to his
home on a farm late one night, and
as he approached the door his body
was riddled with . charge Of buck.
shot from Q shotgun which had been
fired through the front window Of,
the house. "-
Because OF known acquaintance
between Mrs. Lewis and William
Handy, who lived on an adjoining
farm, an Investigation was made
which resulted in the alleged dis
covery that Handy was in the Lewis
home at the time the fatal shots were
fired. Both Mrs. Lewis and Handy
were arrested and charged with
murder.
At Handy's trial the State con-
centrated its efforts on establish
ing that Handy was in the house At
the time of the homicide and that
he was jealous and fearful of Levi.
and therefore killed him. The case
looked dark for Handy until Mrs.
Lewis went on the stand to testiV
