Sees Imperialist Attack On Soviet Union; But
Tries to Justify Capitalist Bloodbath

actual or potential revolution, or
else is in the grip of an alarming
economic depression, plus unem-
plOyment and, perhaps, political
complications.
Second, the "watchful waiting"
faction of Communists in Moscow
has just been forced to recant and
eat humble pie before the party con-
vention, while Boss Stain and his
followers, who believe the world sit
uation is ripe for Bolshevist action,
have now quite definitely taken over
the reins..
The Pope has seen fit to issue
warning from Vatican City, and
there is hardly a government in the
world that is not either anXiously
on the watch or taking active steps
to head off what, rightly or wrong
ly, it believes to be a grave danger.
Revolt in Many Nations.
China and India, together con-
tanning almost half the total popu-
lation of the earth, are actually in
revolution, and nervous observers
have not forgotten the Lenin doc
trine that through the East will
the West be conquered"
The French have just put down
bloody Instruction in Indo-China,
which, according to Minister of Col
onies Pietri, was instigated by
known agents of Moscow whose
avowed aim was to GUST the French
aqnd set up a Communist state.
Communist clashes in Mexico,
Honduras and other Latin Ameri-
can republics have recently been re-
ported. Bolivia and Brazil have had
revolutionary uprisings, Paraguay
is reported in a state of siege and
martial law has been set up in a
part of Honduras.
Grave Situation" in Egypt.
Egypt, says Makram Bey, former
Cabinet Minister of that country,
sis in very grave, and indeed, crit
ical situation" as what he claims
to be ninety-five per cent of the
people line up against the govern
ment.
Turks and Persian Kurds are
fighting along the border in the
shadow of Ararat, where Noah's
Ark landed after the flood, and
there is friction in Palestine be-
tween Zionist and Arab.
PoIand's long drawn-out crisis
due to the quarrel between Dictator
and President, continues. Ru-
mania is in the throes of important
dynastic changes and Hungary faces
trouble, perhaps invasion, if she at
tempts to place crown upon the
head of the 17-year-old Archduke
Otto, the Habsburger.
Throughout the Balkans there is
as talk proceeds for and
against revision of the Versailles
treaty, and while, for the moment
France and Italy have declared
truce, their quarrels are by no
means settled.
Unemployment Problems.
England, Germany and the United
States have serious unemployment
problems on their hands, and Japan
is similarly stricken. An economic
depression has hit the whole world.
1t was this unhappy situation
which the rulers of Moscow had
in mind when they observed that
events were working in their
favor. And it is this that forms
the background as capitalist ma
tions talk of the Communist
danger.
Opinions differ as to the reality
of the peril. Such men as Mathew
Vol, vice president of. the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and Elihu
Root, insist it is anything but buga-
boo, and urge action to put it down.
Others, like Charles E. Sorenson,
Ford's general manager, who has
just returned from Russia, believe
it to be considerably magnified.
But that the RED" scare has the
world again in its clutches is plain.
