GREAT CHANGES
IN RUSSIA MAY
FOLLOW DEATH
Soviet Premier, Ill For a Long
Time, Succumbs at Country
Villa Near Moscow
SPECULATION is RIFE
Soviet Declares His Death
Will Not Be Followed by
General Disquiet

Moscow, Russia, Jan. o.
(By the A. P.)-Nikolai Le-
nine, premier of Soviet Rus
sia, is dead.
The end came at $50
o'clock Monday afternoon but
the death was not announced
for sometime afterwards.
Lenine's death occurred at
his country villa near Moscow
where he has been living in
retirement. 1t came after a
sudden turn for the worse.
eliminating in a stroke
which paralyzed his respira-
tory organism.
Announcement of the death
was made by the all-Russian
Soviet this morning.
Representative of foreign diplo-
matte missions and others with whom
the correspondents talked after the
announcement agreed in expressing
the opinion that Lenine's death
would probably produce no general
disquiet in Russia, but nevertheless
would have an important political
effect. So long as he was alive, al
though not actively participating in
the government he was at least its
titular head and his death now opens
the position to other leaders.
Unexpected to Majority
News of his death, while not un-
expected to those who have been
close to him in the Soviet councils
came unexpectedly to the grest
majority, as the most recent reports
had been that he was considerably
improved in health While there
has been continuous anxiety for HI
condition since he was stricken I'm
June. 1922, public attention has lat +
been more directed to the difference
among the Communist party Leader
and particularly to the status Of
Leon Trotzky, who it was recent
announced, was in poor health and
had gone away for rest
Had Predicted Recovery
Llttie mas been said publicly in
Soviet official quarters lately of
Lenine's condition but that little
seemed to be of a hopeful nature,
and 1t was not long ago that some
of the associates of his active days
were predicting that he would soon
be able to advise with the council
Of ministers.
Death of Premier Lenine leaves
domestic political affairs and rela-
tons of Russia in tangled state.
Following as it does the virtual
disappearance Of Leon Trotzky from
the affairs of the Communist party
and Secretary Hughes recent rejec-
tlon of trade relations with the
United States it appeared probable
that removal Of his influence will
further increase the chaotic state of
affairs.

London, Jan 22 To be the irs-

lie is the first teetotalcr who has
ever held the Office.
He had Travelled to and studied on
the spot more portions of the British
Empire than any prime minister in
history.
So it will be gathered that a very
interesting, very human figure has
suddenly emerged into the full blaze
of publicity and attention over here.
MacDonald's career is something
like that OF our own presidents. He
had no royal road to preferment
His parents had to work hard for a
living and the boy had to take his
share Of the hardships

labor on the poor stony soil of a
Scotch farm. But he had all the
intense desire of the Scot for learn

He got out of the free schools of
Lossiemouth where he was born 81
years ago all the book knowledge
available to him. He burned the
candle at night. Before ne attained
his majority he blossomed out as

He had left the plough and the
scythe behind him and placed his
foot on the first rung Of the ladder

FROM Lhat moment lie IN Russia

were taken over by the workers, who
dictated wages and working condi-
tlons to the helpless manufacturers
Great estates were confiscated by the
peasants, who divided them am ong
themselves, The arstocracy fled 10
any kind of safety it could find and
the middle class, or bourgeoisie, be-
came special objects for the hatred
of the masses Free trade between
persons was abolished, and in it's
stead was established system of
government controlled commissarlcs
which rationed food to the Commun-
lists but not to the bourgeoisie. The
use Of money was condemned and
grain, manufactured products and la
Dor became the chief mediums Of ex-
change.
Change in Policy.
Four long, dismal years passed
with these policies clamped upon a
famine stricken nation before Lenlne,
in December, 1921, began to admit
the failure of many of his most cher
ished ideals and to announce re-
vision of the basic principles upon
which his regime was founded.

him in the days Of his exile. he stat

carly in November, 1921, before the
Second Russian Assembly for PoIiti-
