BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

n Moscow there sits a little man
whose eyes CLINT as he carefully
strokes his beard and dreams
i dreams of political conquest.
Scattered throughout the world
are his paid emissaries. AS their re-
ports Hood his desk he grows more
ana more pompous in INSTALLATION of
the day when the disciples of Lenin
| and Trotsky shall rule the world and
| when his own hand shall be a guild
ing one in formulating the destinies
or nations His Importance grows
upon him. He gets larger and larger
IN his own estimation as he sees the
supposed progress Of his infiltrating
hostrums in the lands Of illiterate
peoples. as. he sees the unsophisticat-
ca IN supposedly more enlightened d
countries grasp at his insidious
gospels. And as one sees his en-
deavors to implant Soviet ideas of
government upon the world at large,
one recalls the story of the little frog
VINO sWelled and swelIed until it be-
| came 10 more by virtue Of its own
folly. And the little frog in Moscow
is none other than Gregory Zinoyieff,
mead or the Communist Internationale
whose efforts against civilization and
present-day government are felt on
every hand.
Nations Are Awakened
Nnovied's activities have been taken
seriously in several countries and nm
doubtedly have had far-reachine ef-
, rect in shaping the political destinies
Oh several. but not III the direction
desired.
Russia has sought. in the midst Of
her own Soviet-created chaos and
devastation, to peddle her govern
mental cures to the world. When
IL was seen that they could not make
progress by virtue of their own
demerits the internationaIe, of which
Zinovieff is the head, began its srs-
tematlc attempt to sway other peoples
aireaoy beset and mentally torn by
theories. His activities have approach
cd the ludicrous, so bold has he be-
come. Instead, however, of influence
ing supporters he has made enemies
ana ne mas done as much as any other
person in Russia to bring about
reputation of the Russian govern
inent ana the Communistic theories
or human relationships.
The latest rebuke TO ZinoviafF and
the MOSCOW government has come
from the Conservative government of
Ireat Britain. Austen Chamberlain.
foreign minister in the Baldwin gov
erninent, has made it plain to Moscow
that the treaties negotiated by for
mer remier Macdonald and Russian
! emissarIes are repudiated There's
not good thing about them accord :
| ing 10 word that has gone from
whitehall England can never, con-
! sent TO recognize or deal with any
regime in any nation that persists in
undermining tenets Of government in
| force. That Russia has continued 10
press her propaganda with known
| insldlous practices is pointed out.
What England Foresees,
England realizes that in recogni-
tion there will be opened even broad
er avenues for Soviet propaganda
against the government and England
| wants none of it. 1t would appear
that ZinoVief, who on the eve of cleo
ton urged the Communists of Eng
land to rally around the Labor party
and bring about Communistic form
F; OF government, was the one man to
awaken England to the dangerous
shoals that lay ahead in continued
dealing with the Soviet government
: 1t was Zinovieff letter that caused
Secretary Hughes of the American
! State Department to announce last
| ing opposition to recognition of the
J Soviet regime. 1t was Zinoyteff let
ters and activities that have done
much to undermine confidence in the
Russian Soviet in France, while in
| Italy the government has intercepted
many communications from Zinovieff
all designed to reorganize forces
! against the Mussolini regime which
has done more than any other to-
| ward the eradication of Bolshevism
| in Italy. Zinovieff, the busy little
busybody of Moscow, in pursuance
