Bolshevism In Russia

1.-THE extremity of social disorgan-
ization has been seen in Russia, where
has been enacted the greatest tragedy
in the history of the world. What hap
pened there will happen everywhere
unless there is a development OF the
capacity OF people to work together
and understand each other.
"In its final form the revolution in
Russia was against what is called the
capitalistic system, or the private own
ership Of property and direction OF in
dustry. The results of the revolution
are so calamitous in Russia as to give
a check to revolutionary tendencies in
other countries. Yet the nor
principles of Bolshevism are infiuenc'
ing public opinion more or less every
where.
THE motive behind all this agita'
ton is the desire to establish equality.
The social struggles OF the past have
been for political equality. Now thu
demand Is for equality in possessions.
equality In incomes, equality in the
Management of industrial affairs.
There is no argument against the as
pirations of men for better social con-
ditions, but radical ideas result from
certain economic fallacies. One re-
lates to the employment and service
Of private capital. Men e about
vast sums of wealth belonging to indi.
viduals, and think OF these sums as
devoted exclusively TO the owners In
fact wealth employed in production
for the public market is rendering
.arytna tn tho anfira Pnmmnnifv M
matter who own 1t.
THE whole radical argument is like
claiming that nobody ever got any
benefit from the development Of the
steam engine but the owners OF steam
engines. or course, the theory only
needs to be state for the fallacy to
be apparent. The man who works for
wages is benefited by every Investment
Of capital which increases and cheap
ems the supply OF the things for which
his wages are spent.
The Service Of Capital
ut is a fundamental truth that all
productive property although privately
owned. is part of the equipment Of 70
ciety. by which Its wants are supplied.
The progress OF the past has been
accom- plished under thei ndividualistic
system. The theory Of this system Is
that every one shall have for his own.

ment, and they have switched their
activities not only to tobacco but to
tea and coffee.
Intensive drives against all forms
Of tobacco have begun. Maliciously

stories have been broadcasted while
systematic propaganda of shameful
villification and abuse has been
launched"
But the antttobacco campaign is
falling down hard. Bloch said, citing
the resembling Of anti-tobacco laws
by four of six States.
"But the menace to our business is
not likely to pass so long as the pro
fessional agitators are able TO pass
the hat and get the coin" said Bloch.
In an atmosphere blue and fragrant
with the smoke of cigars. cigarettes
and pipes, the delegates took up the
problem OF simplifying the number of
sizes, shapes, prices, brands and fancy
wrappings of cigars, cigarettes and
pipe tobacco. They even want to
standardize the cigar box, which, it
appears, is made in lot of different
designs now.

Mexico City.-Mexiean delegates
went into session with American
representatives in the recognition
conference with the full force of
the Chamber of Deputies behind
them.
A vote of confidence in the inter
national policies of President OBJ
RECON was passed by the assembly
with little opposition.
Prerequisites laid down by Secre-
tary Of State Hughes as essential to
recognition were discussed fully in
the chamber before the action of con
fldence was taken.
Deputy PUG analysed the sugges-
tons Of the United States, which he
said were first made known by Hughes
last August Mexico replied to these
March 81. The first demand. he said,
was the signing of treaty Of amity
and commerce, which was refused by
Mexico on the ground 1t might imperil
national dignity and sovereignty.
Then came five of the principle
points at issue involving:
Arrangements for payment of the
public debt
Agreement on oil interests.
Interpretation Of the Mexican SUI
preme Court decisions relating to non
retroactivity of Article 81 of the Con
stitution
Legal claims Of Americans to prop
erty acquired before 1917.
Payment for lands appropriated IN
der the Agrarian law.
These points. PUG added. were dealt
with in manner which would permit
arbitration and solution Of the dispute.
In view of these conditions. PUG
looked favorably on the possibility
that recognition would come.

MISUNDERSTANDING steps were
taken by representatives Of the Unit
ed States and Turkey for the nego-
tiation Of treaty OF amity and com,
merce between these two countries
No negotiations have been actually
started. according TO Joseph c. Grew.
head OF the American delegation, but
It is understood there has been a
general conversation covering the
scope of the special treaty which both
countries desire to frame. so as to
define exactly mutual relations. and
particularly TO arrange for the resump-
HaB of regular diplomatic relations.
Such treaty presumably would
provide for American recognition of
the Angora Government.
The American delegation win great
~ benefit In the negotiation Of a
treaty with Turkey by their presence
at the Lausanne debates, as many Of
the questions discussed. especially
relating to foreigners. are certain to
arise in the Turco-American negotia-
tons.
The Turkish delegates to the Near
East Conference made some conces-
sions in regard to the privileges of
foreign charitable and educational in
situations in Turkey. but the Allies
were informed that any special treat
ment would be applicable only to Brit
lsh, French and Italian organizations.
This decision is not directed against
the United States, as the Turks ex-
peet to make separate treaty with
America which will cover this point,
but IT is intended to oblige the small
er prospective signatories of the Lau.
same agreement such as Greece and
Rumania, to negotiate separately with
