Disillusioned.

According to Il dispatch from Paris
to the New York Tribune. Fannie
Hurst. the American novelist, just
back in Franco from visit to Rus
sia has been completely disillusioned
by q visit to Soviet land. Two months
ago she was an enthusiastic defender
of the Communist revolution. Now she
describes Sovietism as "a great beast.
half stupid, half mad, on its back in
death agony" Fannie Hurst has had
the same reaction regarding the Rus
sian situation that was experienced
by Emma Goldman, who. deported
from the United States in company
with other subversive radicals. went
in gay expectation to the land of her
birth. and after few months left
in disgust and despair and found
refuge in Germany, where, according
to latest information, she now re-
mains. Emma Goldman found that
instead of a true communism such as
she advocates, the Soviet system in
Russia has merely replaced the. old
cZarist tyranny with a tyranny of
brutality and ignorance. She saw no
light ahead. She found on every side
greed and trickery and unfairness.
She saw ignorance established in au.
thority. She saw principle trampled
under the feet OF passion and venge.
ance.
Fannie Hurst says that in every
ones face in Russia one sees moth.
ing but fear, overwhelming fear"
How could it be otherwise? The Soviet
revolution put in power at Leningrad
a group of fanatical men who waged
a ruthless warfare against all existing
social systems. Their agents were the
lowest types Of the most brutal
moujiks. They crushed out all indi-
