Everything Russian il run BY
committees, or what they call
presidiums. which is the same
thing. When Lenin's colleagues
came to the conclusion a few
months ago that he was on the
verge of a nervous breakdown from
overwork. they solemnly appointed
q committee Of three to take charge
Of him.
He was sequestered In q beauti-
full estate about thirty minutes
ride in a machine from the center
Of Moscow. No one was permitted
to call upon him except his wife
and the committee.
He is affectionately referred to
IN business and government circles
as the "old man." 1t was the duty
of the committee during his retire
ment to epitomize all important
matters and present them to him
each Wednesday and Sunday aft
srnoon.
His last word seems supreme.
When friction arose between de-
partment heads which could not be
reconciled 1t was always. Put 1t

The chairman of his committee
laughed uproariously as I related
the American newspaper gossip
that he was paralyzed. that he was
hopelessly insane, that he had
died weeks ago and been secretly
buried. and so on. The chairman
of the committee said as he STEP
ped into the automobile for one of
his bi-weekly visits to Lenin:
"All of those rumors VIII be ex-
ploded two weeks from next Mon
day. We have the assurances of
the doctors that on that day he
will be back at his desk as fit as

verified to the day and hour.

he presides is the most up-to-date
