uganda, Soviets Sowing Discomfort
Throughout the World.
The bolshevist menace is still very
much alive in the world today
Throughout Europe and even in Amer
lea the communist despoilers of Rus
STA are sowing their red" doctrines.
Soviet propaganda is striking at the
very heart OF good government, and
even against the constitution of the
United States, under the guise of dip
lomatic relations with a neighboring
nation, the soviet campaign OF revo-
luton and anarchy is being directed.
Exploit Recognition.
Recognition OF the soviet govern
ment of Russia by France, in western
Europe and by Mexico, in Central
America, has given the soviet lords OF
Russia the opportunity to extend their
activities until the whole world, vir-
tually, is under the shadow OF the
red" menace. In eastern Europe and
in northern Africa, particularly in the
Balkan states, Egypt and Japan, the
seeds OF discussion are being scatter
ed
France is suffering severely as re-
suit of the recognition of the soviet
government, and there is trouble
brewing in Mexico. In the Balkan
states and in Egypt there have been
armed outbreaks, and in the United
States the bolshevist doctrines are be-
| ing scattered where they will. take Ell
! feet the quickest.
Trouble in Balkans.
France is struggling with serious
problem since official recognition OF
the soviet government brought Lonid
Krassin to Paris as the Russian am
bassador.
Hardly had Krassin set foot on
French soil before the trouble began.
There were bolshevist outbreaks, and
| bolshevist meetings, and bolshevist
propaganda flooded the country. Pre-
mier Herriott was severely censured
for his recognition of the soviets. and
the police took up arms against the
menace.
Wholesale raids were made, and
wholesale deportations began. Soviet
meetings were dispersed, and ton af-
ter ton of red" literature was seized
and destroyed In all this trouble
Krassn said nothing more than the
soviets were not to blame. French pol
iticians however, assert that krassin
is behind the whole movement, which
has as its end overthrow of the French
republic The trouble has only just
begun, they fear.
England Escaped Peril.
The labor government of Great
Britain would have recognized the So
Wet government of Russia had it re-
NAMED in power, but this very thing
defeated it. Ramsay Macdonald and
his cohorts were defeated, and Stan
ley Baldwin, foe of the soviets, took
his place and selected a new cabinet.
Great Britain has escaped the peril,
lat least for the time being.
Germany is admittedly overrun with
bolshevists. Riots and revolutionary
meetings have become almost matter
OF fact, and the bolshevists regard that
nation as one of their strongholds in
western Europe 1t is virtually their
headquarters for the spreading OF
red" propaganda into other nations
in that part OF the world.
Troubles in Balkans.
In the Balkans, forces OF the Estho
nian government and the soviets came
to blows. 1t was revealed that the boil
shevists had gone as far as to set
date for revolution, but the plans
were nipped in the bud. There was
considerable fighting and rioting, but
the reds" finally were subdued Now
Esthonia is deporting Russians IN
droves. and the army OF the little ma
+ion Is on the lookout for more trou-
bic.
Rumania, too, has been overrun
with communist workers, paid by
Moscow, and the Bucharest govern
ment has begun wholesale deporta..
tons of Russians. In other parts OF
the Balkan states the reds are
known to be conducting their cam
paign for revolution, although no act
nal outbreak has occurred. The men
ace is there, as in other parts OF the
world and it will be only matter OF
time until trouble breaks out.
Two Other Trouble Zones.
In Japan and Egypt the bolshevlsts
are blamed for making more trouble.
Much of the anti-American feeling in
Iapan as a result of the restrictive inn
migration law in the United States IS
due to bolshevist irritation, it IS said
