THE EMBASSY BOOTLEGGER.
There has been a lot of talk,
lately, about embassy bootleg
gers and all that sort of thing.
I don't know the inside Of the
embassy situation. but I do feel
that drinking occupies entirely
too large a part Of the time OF
Washington people and that talk
ing about 1t occupies still more.
Only short time ago I met a
group of Washington women at
the home Of one Of the number.
We were having a. little card
party The first subject breach
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-03-18

and they want to be as exclusive
as they know how.
But there are two passkeyS
to success in this little group Of
Capital women. And they are:
Bridge.
Cigarettes.
The little coterie I have in
mind 10 distinguished primarily
by the readiness and eagerness Of
the women to play bridge for high
stakes. The average member Of
Congress cannot afford to throw
his money away; there is an au-
tomato means Of exclusion, for
he will not permit his wife to
break into the big games. The
members Of the group are also
keen on cigarette smoking; they
look upon the ability to consume
vast quantities Of cigarettes
mostly bad cigarettes, the men
inform me, for they say that
woman's taste in cigarettes is
generally atrocious-as q symbol
of emancipation or something,
heaven knows what. At any
rate, bridge and cigarettes are
the trump cards to get into the
coterie, which. to my mind, does
not represent at all what Is most
desirable in Washington society.
Yet by fixing these standards

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
On another occasion recently a
group Of women was herded into
a small room where liquor was
served. paid no attention to
my cocktail. and the woman next
me figuratively jumped on me
for neglecting 1t.
"I don't drink 1t because
don't like, It," I said. "You are
quite welcome to it If you want
it."
IT never believe in letting good
liquor go to waste" was her reply.
BY this time the party had prog
ressed to the stage where the 9TH
ers were becoming insistent that
I should drink. However. just then
they moved US out Of the small
room and into a larger one-down
q flight Of stairs, where I met some
other women coming UP. Some OF
those who had been with me were
a bit dizzy, and those coming from
the other directaon were In pretty

it may have been deplorable, but

because one in the number didn't
care to drink. Why 1t should be

spend half an afternoon or evening
talking about the merits of the
various brands of liquor, the re-
liability Of various bootleggers. and
the effect liquor has on one. I
don't just know-but that seems to
be the condition.
I really am inclined to think that
cigarette smoking Is going out Of
date, because I know that some Of
the younger set have given up their

with a young man who was
within few brief years destined
70 become one Of the most bril-.

revolution in history.
NicoIai Ivanowich Bukharin
was the name Of the young man.
Any reader could instantly nave

that bespeaks long generations Of

ed, worn out by years Of impris-
Onment, exile and never-ceasirg

PORED OVER BOOKS.
For hours and hours at q
stretch Bukharin sat through the
winter OF 1916 in the New York
public library, digging deep into
the best works written by Ameri-
can economists, and putting
finishing touches to one Of mis-
own books Political Economy"
The young Russian Marxist
had not been content with mere
" mastering the theories Of
Marx and Engel. He was for
ever exploring, forever anxious
TO come in close con act with the

thought Of the capitalistic world.
AS he says in his foreword to
his book. Political Economy" it
Is through the mastery OF the
theories Of ones adversary that
one is best able to effectively
combat the latter's views.
Bukharin began work on his
political Economy while a
student in the University Of
Vienna, Austria, whittier he had
lied from Siberia. But along
came the world war, and the
young revolutionary was impris-
oned in fortress and deported
shortly after to Switzerland.
In Switzerland he resumed his
studies in the Lausanne Univers-
ity, ana kept up his research
work. Then came an order from
the revolutionary party to lpro-
coed to Stockholm, Sweden.
Bukharin had just begun to

end we became the party that de-
manded everything from the peas

that Of the Soviet premier, whom
he adores.
On a par with Lenin, Bukharin,
too, is a brilliant theoretician. Dur
ing his years Of exile and impris-
onment. which make UP a large
part Of his life-he is forty-three
years old now-Bukharin wrote
many important theoretical revolu-
tionary works.
His latest contribution to the
revolutionary literature is his A
B C Of Communism, which he
had written In collaboration with
his colleague Preobrashensky. The
manuscript of this book, which
by now has become one Of the
most popular texts on Commu-
nism in Russia, was nearly de-
stroyed, together with it's authors,

street. corner Second avenue,
would have It that Bulxharin for
got to pay his 10 cents for apple
pie and coffee. while Trotzly's
debt to another waiter seems to
amount to no less than IS cents.
But although the salary Of each
never exceeded the grand total Of
$12 per week and both had marital
obligations In the bargain, 1t Is
quite safe to assume that the
Imagination Of some Of these
waters has flared up q bit since
the revolution.
At any rate. an unpaid debt,
due from the two celebrities Is .
tangible claim to distinction
which these walters seem to ex-
plot quite diligently.
OF an evening. after q hard
days work, Bukharin would drop
in one Of these cafes, sit at .
table, usually with some COM
pany, and discuss things. The
chief topic had been the Russian
revolution. which in those seem.
ingly faf-off days existed only
In the brains and hearts Of these
men.
Mild hammered, and. tolerant Of
other peoples views as rule,
his big deep eyes would invariably
flash fire when driving home Q
salient point in his theory.
HAD KIND HEART.
On the East Side Bukharin had
been known as a man Of big
heart and charitable impulse. He
could never remain Indifferent In
the face of poverty and destitu-
ton. His friends still recall the
incident, when one morning he
went for a walk with a newly
purchased hat and returned back
without it. It appeared that on
the street he came across a per-
son in distress, and, not having a
cent in cash, parted with his
headgear. In reply to the pro-
testations of his friends. Buk-
HARM remarked that wearing q
hat is a habit anyway, thing a
man can well get along without.
All Of that, as said. took place
in New York Elm the winter Of
1916. Today Bukharin stands out
as one Of the mightiest molders
Of Russia's present and future.
He is not a commissar He holds
no strictly official position.
Nevertheless his influence over
the political thought and acts Of
the country, exerted mainly
through the medium Of the Com
munist newspaper Pravda, Of
which he is the editor, Is tre-
mendous, and gains In vigor from
day to day. Besides being editor,
Bukharin is also a-member OF the
All-Russian central executive COM
mittee, and the chief directing
brain Of the Communist party.
During the long months Of Lee
Minis illness the physicians as
well as the chief co-workers Of
the Soviet Premier believed in
and hoped for his complete recov-
cry, but moments Of anxiety have
not been lacking, and in such mo-
ments many an eye turned to-
ward Bukharin. And no wonder;
from the early days Of the revo-
luton the young editor showed
keen perception and political wis
dom that played a great role in
tiding the country over many Of
its worst crises.
A BORN LEADER.
A practical idealist and born
leader Of men, Bukharin on many
occasions proved to be the equal
Of Lenin himself. In many re-
spects his mentality Is akin to

carrying through the Communist
program in its entirety, and with
ont the slightest delay. y
Arrayed against them were
men endowed with . clear vision
and sense for realities, men
who recognized the first faint
signs Of the coming. storm and
applied every ounce Of their en-
ergy to steer the badly battered
ship to harior. Chief among
these men were Lenin and
Buckharin.
In his address to the Commun-
ist Congress in June. 1871, Buck
harm served due warning. He
told his colleagues that the So
Wet government could make not
q single political concession. but
must needs make many economic
ones. The advice was timely and
well taken. It was the clear
vision Of Lenin and Bukharin
that saved the days and spared
the coming generations Of Rus
STA from 9 long period Of an
archy.
In his now famous address on
the new economic policy Buk-
HARM said:
when the state apparatus Il
IN our hands we can give It any
desired direction, but unless we
are at the helm we can give no
direction at all. Consequently we
must hold power. We must make
no political concessions, but we
may make many economic con-
cessions. The fact OF the matter
Is we are making economic con-
cessions in order to avoid making
political ones.
BREAD NEEDED.
"our position now il: We must
have bread and . pacific peas
antry or else we shall go to the
dogs. Even the worker win re-
volt against his government 4 he
has nothing to eat.
"A whole period Of history Il
required to transform the peas
ant into capitalist. Our view
il that capitalism IN Russia will
rise slowly nom the bottom. but
we shall keep under our control
the chief branches Of our indus

'sWhen this is achieved all the
Industrial processes win assume
their normal course. The de-

cease. We shall then be able to
invite foreign workers. We could
then pass on to the technical rev.
olution, and shall be In a posi-
ton to realize the Identification

embryonic stage.

cure the equilibrium between
town and village. All exchange
between the town and village had
ceased. When the towns cease to
supply the country there is no
stimulus to give anything to the
town.
