AS WE SEE 1T

MUSSOLINI must be slipping dam
gerously, when a member of the
toothless liberal party sums up suf-
hcient courage to stick his index fin
ger under the blackshirt CHIEFS nasal
organ and get away with it. The most
distressing feature of the situation,
from the Mussolini point of view is
that the capitalist papers in other
countries which extolled the assassin
leader while he was riding on the
crest Of the wave, now praise him
with faint compliments to his courage,
tho confessing that his future pros
poets do not look bright.
IN criticizing Mussolini, the liberal
= leader pointed out that the policy
Of repression was breeding rebellion,
not only against the fascist regime,
but against the social order. Cap
italism, no matter how represented
governmentally, will breed rebellion,
but 1t is obvious that the open die
tatorship of Mussolini feeds the fires
OF revolt more generously, that does
the spurious democracy which pre-
walls in this and other countries. 1t
is because the capitalists have learned
that a continuation of the fascist
regime may result in a political and
social Vesuvius, that Mussolini is
politely patted on the back and told
to take sleep for himself.
WHILE this sad tale of declining
" dictatorship is being told in one
corner of the capitalist press, com
bination journalist and stoolpigeon by
the name of Paul Scott Mowrer is
syndicating series of fairy tales on
Soviet Russia, from Paris. But what
ever else Mowrer says, he does not
predict the speedy collapse of the So
Wet power or the Communist leader
ship of that country. 1t is there to
stay for long, long, long time, he
walls. 1t looks that way. There are
relationships and relationships, the
kind that try to swim against the
current of evolution and the kind that
travels with it.
THE AllRussian Soviet Congress
L opens and Leon Trotsky is back
in Moscow. Big problems confront the
Soviet governemnt. Running one
sixth of the earth's surface is no
childs task, particularly when the rest
OF the world is in the hands of profess
sional burglars who cannot keep their
fingers out of their neighbor's pockets.
Two dispatches appear in the same
column of Chicago capitalist paper
which tell story. One recites the
opening of the Soviet congress. The
other announces that the British gov
eminent is prepared to make war on
Boishevik propaganda within the EN-
pire.
THE last British aristocrat to get
4 funny with the Soviet government,
is now reposing underneath a pile of
good marble. His name was Curzon.
He threatened to make war on Rus.
STA unless the Communists stopped
spreading Bolshevist propaganda in
India. British rule in India is the best
propaganda for revolution. The Hin
dus will never be satisfied until the
British forces are driven out of their
country. Curzon did not make war on
Russia. His successors may, but at
their peril. The tories will have to
reckon with the British working class.
