RITCHIE SEES NEED
FOR RENEWED FAITH
Admits Many Faults Under Democ-

to Correct Them.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 5.-Voicing an
admonition that what is needed is not
cynicism but a just faith born of the
accomplishments of the past" Gov Al
bert c. Ritchie of Maryland last night
reviewed the evolution of the American
Government Without once mention
ing current political questions, Gov.
Ritchie, whose name has been brought
into the forefront of the gossip for the
Democratic presidential nomination next
year, spoke at length of political history
in building up case for popular SOW
ereignty. He was the speaker at the
annual dinner of the VirginianS, an
organization of former residents of Vir-
ginia or descendants of Virginians liv-
ing in New York.
After eXtolling the part played by
Maryland and Virginia in the early his
tory Of the United States, he touched
for moment on economic adversely.
1T seems almost" he said, "as If the
things We have believed in and have
tried and proved in the processes of
time had suddenly collapsed or been
thrown into bewildering chaos.
Il am convinced that nothing could
so chill our national spirit or retard
our returning prosperity of the progress
sive solution Of our political problems
as to have our leaders or our people or
the growing youth of our land lose faith
in the workings of popular government
or in the adequacy of our political sys-
tenn, or fail to realize that the revolu-
tionary ideas now prevalent abroad are
wholly foreign to the genius of the
American people.
That representative government
should sometimes fail to express ade-
quately the will of the people is not so
important as it is that popular will
should be free to act and that it should
have the proper machinery to put its
action into effect"

HISTORIAN OUSTED
FOR STAIN ARTICLE
Disciplined for Questioning
Orthodoxy of Leaders
Pre-War BoISheviSm.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, December 5-The wrath
of Joseph Stain has descended on a
young member of the Institute of Red
Professors and the editorial board of the
journal PrOletarian Revolution because
OF an article questioning the orthodoxy
Of Nikolai Lenin's pre-war bolshevism.
Prof. A. G. Slltzky, who earned some
reputation as historian Of the reVo-
luton, has been expelled from the Com
munist party, it was learned, and sent
to an interior post in lower Moscow
school. He and the editors were de-
nounced by Stain as caluminators,
falsifiers and TrotzkyiteS.
Slutzky charged in the magazine that
Lenln had undeIValuated the danger Of
CentrlSm in Germany and the general
pre-war social democracy.
Letter Attacks Board.
Stain addressed a scathing letter to
the board, just published in the maga-
zine Bolshvlk, IN which he said: In
other words, according to Slutzky. Lenin
did not fight oppOItunism because the
undervaluation II CentriSm really means
the refusal to fight OpportuniSm.
"Slutzky made it appear that Lenin
was not real BOlshevik until during
or after the period of the imperialistic
war. Instead of proclaiming this new
ly come historian a calumniator and
falSitler you start discussion and
give him a tribute.
You cannot transform into discus
sion the matter of Lenin's Bolshevism
You make another error in declaring
that the board considers it natural
from a political viewpoint to further
discuss problems concerning the rela-
tions of the Bolsheviks with the sec
ond international.
Rotten Liberalism"
This means you want to begin
discussion of the aXioms of Bolshevism,
that you want to transform into
problem the question of Lenins Boil
shevtSm when it is an axiom. What
are your reasons? Everybody knows
that Lenin was born, grew up and be-
came strong in the merciless fight
against all sorts of opportunism.
L think it rotten liberalism rather
popular among certain Bolsheviks now.
Some believe that Trotskyism is still
faction in Communism. It is hardly
necessary to prove such a point of view
is erroneous and harmful AS a mat
ter of fact, Trotskyism is leading the
squad of counter revolutionary bour-
geoisie who are fighting against Com
muniSm, against the Soviet government
and against the destruction of Social
ism in the Soviet Republic"
