| Among the newspapers recently receive
| ed in Pensacola, Is the Americas Atbalss,
or "American Echo the chief Latvian
paper in America; also the Latvian daily
paper 'Latvis," published at Riga.
An article in the columns of the latter
paper may throw some light on the activi-
ties of Soviet Russia towards the de-
struction of general welfare in every
country outside Of Bolshvik Russia. This
article tells that the Soviet government
of Russia has very secretly published
special book of instructions for the use
of all Russian spies in Latvia and in all
other foreign countries. Among other in
structions in this book are also the fol-
lowing specific orders:
1. To agitate against successful
business domestic or foreign.
2. TO make every effort towards
Reorganization Of transportation ia
eilities.
8. BY false reports to create dis
trust in citizens against the exist
ing conditions in order to cause fur
Their disorders and further decline Of
currency values of these countries.
4. To circulate broadcast false
money. (Not Russian money, but
tured by Russian government and
smuggled into the foreign countries
by Soviet agents for this specific pur-
pose.)
s. To buy with false money! and
to export to Russia anything Of real
value, including the real foreign pa
per money.

unrest, strikes, mutinies, ETC., ETC.,
in all foreign countries.
"The "Amerikas Atbalss'' tells us how
these instructions have been carried out
theoretically and extensively in the bor-
der states of Russia until just recently
the Latvian government has uncovered
these plots and has taken firm stand
against them. It goes to show us that
the object of these Bolsheyik activities
Is to accomplish the destruction of all
prosperity everywhere in foreign coun-
tries, so that by the failure Of these
countries the wild dream of communists
system Of government, now prevailing
in Russia, could be established all over
the world Evidently the much con-
demned tactics of the old school politi-
clans Aim justifies the means" is the
Golden Rule Of Russian Bolshevilk.
Get Rich Quickly
The opportunity Of getting rich quickly,
for those in power in Russia, appears to
be too big temptation even for the
communist. The latest means to this
end is described by the "Latvis" under
heading: "Robbing the churches" that
by May 18TH this year, the churches in
Russia have feen freed of the following
$50 pounds of gold metal; |
373, 040 pounds of silver metal; LAS car |
ats Of brilliants; So pounds of pearls;
81 pounds Of other precious stones; $50
rubles of gold coin; ABA rubles of silver
coin. The "Latvis' is quoting these sta |
tistfcs from the Russian paper "1zwesty'
and it is interesting to note that the J
Russian paper tells that these valuables /
were not stolen, but were freed" from
the church. Evidently these robberies
were organized by the Soviet government
though the paper does not definitely |
state this.
"Latvis'' tells us also Of Russian Boil |
shevik government continuous arming: |
In May this year $500 German special |
lists in war material production arrived I
at Petrograd. Krupp firm of Germany |
has been granted contract to build
submarine docks at Petrograd. 100 air.
planes have been recently purchased |
from italy. But all this will hardly save i
the starving multitudes Of Russian men,
women and children from the death of
starvation.
Less Grain Production.
That the Soviet government has done
is doing nothing and intends
doing nothing for the starving people,
evidently expecting outside charity to
take care of these, we learn from Amer
ikas Atbalss." This paper shows that
since the Bolshevik got in power, the
grain production ability of Russia has
It points out that while
even during the last year of the Russian
participation in the world war as much
IS 1873, 0O0, 900, 900 pounds of grain was
produced by Russia, the production in
1918 was S9,720,000 900 pounds only; in &
1919, $780, O0O, 600; in 1920, 32,720, 900, 900,
while the production in 1921 was even
ess and is expected to be still less in
1872. The above shows that after the
seed has been deducted, the grain pro-
luced and left for consumption would
lot keep alive even half of the people
