The Russian Experiment

The great Russian expert ment continues to go forward to it's ultimate destiny. What that destiny is to be only Time, that great resolver of mundane things, can tell.
 Meanwhile the voice of so- called Capitalism is raised in bitter denunciation over the terrible dangers of attempting to bring about an improvement in the present economic and social order; in other words to make the world better and a more just place for human. :. ity to live in. Every visible fault or defect of the new sys- tenn instituted by the Sovi its is generously magnified or distorted into "a frightful bogie to create distrust and suspicion n and hostility against it.
 But for the fact that Russia is strong enough to cope with any foreign antagonist, there is hardly a doubt that open ef- forts would be made to to ut, terly crush and dismember it by methods more forcible than propaganda.
 Yet, whatever it's faults may be-and what system does not have them aplenty?- it is still a most wonderful and far reaching experiment which, in our opinion, should be left alone by outsiders and permitt- ed to prove itself. If it is a wrong or impractical system it will ultimately fail because of it's deficiencies, as all recorded history of mankind's projects proves. If it measures up to the expectations of it's promul- gators it will doubtless mark the beginning of a new world economic and social order which would probably be an improvement over system which has as its chief pillars the bondage of the many to the rapacity and injustice of the few.
