srtv IS quite universal, but she COM
plains that it IS unequally distributed.
Then she shows few trivial instances
to prove her case. +,
Emma complains Of the processes OF
government, and the Capitalization OF
power. She makes accusations OF bu-
reaucracy.
There is something reminicently ta-
miliar about the tone Of her writings.
Familiar to any one who has partlcl-
pated in any cooperative movement.
or in any effort to improve the lot OF
the people,
1t is to be feared that the vehement
Emma is more deeply enamored Of her
own peculiar propaganda than she is
of the desire to help the multitudes.
Possibly the authorities of Russia did
not ask her advice. 1t may be that she
was not a welcome guest, but merely
tolerated one
AT any rate, believers in any of the
principles of the Cooperative Common
wealth, and Spokesman for groups most
of all, should refrain from leveling the
finger of scorn and using the capitals
tic press to discredit the efforts Of COM
rades in the face of overwhelming
odds.
Those who have viewed Emma as a
somewhat fanatic propaganda with
whom they might not agree. but for
whom they have at least held some
measure of respect, are likely to feel
disappointed to find that she is not
above abusing her comrades, and to
aid and abet the capitalistic nations Of
the world in their brutal campaign
against struggling, starving Russia.
Emma Goldman can justly be accus-
ed of having turned her back on the
masses. She is now being used as a
tool of capitalism.
Emma, the super-red, shades to pink,
then changes and becomes black.
Fortunately, her power is not great.

Emma Goldman, shipped to Russia
against her will when deported from
the United States, has studied the land
of the soviets with care and is now
telling, through the Hearst press and
other papers, how horrible it is. Ii is
only fair to mention that the Hearst
press states that it takes no responsible
ity for the truth of the articles. but
merely for their authenticity.

years, finds Russia land where pow

Some years ago, Ole Hansen, of Sc
attic, won sporadic fame by crushing
in a spectacular manner a general
strike.
Patter on the back by Capital, Ole

holy Ole." lectured over the country
to explain how he did it. He became
the pampered pet of parlor and other
capitalists.
Seattle became to small for Ole, who
aspired for presidential honors. At
least he was accused of it. His force

yertising seemed to point out Holy Ole
as the ideal man for the place.
Then the bright lights of Los An

were absorbed by the higher capitals

After four years of determination,
combined with pluck, the Peruvian
government and American doctors have
ridden Peru of that monster, yellow fe-
yer.
ii was test Of human endurance
and intelligence against ignorance and
opposition, and we won" said DR.. Hem
ry Hanson. Our chief obstacle was
the ignorance on the part of the public.
In one town the whole population rose
against us because we closed the
churches. Nothing could have made
sane people more angry; the town
was doomed; yellow fever was all
around; people were dying by the hum
dreds daily; they went to church every
day to pray for the recovery of some
member of their family, and unconscl-
ously spread the disease. To tell them
this simple fact was like putting out
a flame with oil. They mobbed our
office, attempted to kill our director,
and we had to escape through hole
made in the roof Of the building. We
were eventually compelled to withdraw
from that place because of the bitter
ness of the inhabitants, and left them
to the mercy of the Creator. After
wards the town was entirely wiped out
by the scourge. The outside world will
little realize the immensely Of the work
carried to perfection against all klnt
of odds until we brought the country
back to health. The inhabitants were
dying by the thousands, and no matter
what efforts we made to appease their
sufferings, there was the same opposi-
ton shown until we appealed to the
Peruvian Government who sent soldiers
down to quelI the aggressiveness of>the
people. But the grand work is done
and yellow fever is no more in Peru.
The four years spent there has added
twenty years to my life. Saving an ig-
norant mob from themselves is en- un-
task and is uncomfortable to
the ordinary individual" was the state
ment given by DR.. Hanson.

The Genoa conference is about to
convene, anil the Russian delegates to
that convention have arrived in the
dead hour of the night. They are
guarded by the local military to pre-
vent attacks by fanatics. This conven-
ton attracts the attention of the world
because on its success depends the flu
ture of the world for the next ten years.
L. Krassine the Russian representative
to the convention, says: France is
most insistent of all nations that we
restore private property in Russia.
She intends to demand that we restore
all confiscated lands to their former
owners, irrespective of and from the
fact that the land owners of Russia
comprised but one tenth of the whole
people. To that demand there is but
one answer. France, during her revo-
luton, confiscated the lands of the rul-
ing classes, and France. after the revo~
luton, did not restore them.
I'VE in Russia have done what
France did $50 years ago. France
was condemned then as we are now,
but no one will dare deny that the re-
distribution of the confiscated lands
among the peacants of France has
made France the richest country per
capita in the world. What France has
done for her children we can do. We,
too, hold the great ambition to be the
richest country per capita in all the
world. All we ask is for France to
attend to her own business and not
NEEDLE in ours. How would you Am
orleans like it if France or any other
country came to your home land and
demanded that you make and unmake
laws to please the Frenchmen at the ex-
pense of your own countrymen? Ask
yourself that question and you will get
a true outline on what the Genoa con-
ference is all about.

Conditions
In ireland
Discussed

The only hope for peace in Ireland
is complete independence, in the opin-
ion of Father 7. 2. Connolly, who
spoke at banquet of the Knights of
Columbus in their club rooms Monday
night.
Father Connolly arrived in New
York two weeks ago from Ireland
and stopped in this city en- route to
his home in Great Falls, Mont
The speaker painted vivid word
picture of conditions in that country
as they obtained during hostilities
and since nominal peace has been es-
tablished. The country has suffered
greatly, he said, from the depreda-
tons of warriors. Roads were de-
stroyed, and entire cities wrecked.
Father Connolly stated that the
great majority of the people were op-
posed to the present treaty with Eng
land, and he could see no peace for
the people except through complete
independence from British rule. He
said the Ulster question had been Gre
ated by England for her express bene-
tit to maintain foothold in Ireland.
