BY F. BRITTEN AUSTIN,

AutnOT CI 1OnnutfUNf
- NCE 1888 the outside world has
been uncomfortably unable to
ignore the United States. The
~ New Deal Is a major political
and economic phenomenon whose os-
cillatory manifestations disturb life
In a Chinese village as much as they
convulse the London markets or cause
the feverish planting Of cotton in Bra
iii: and for a century and a half the
social ideals of this republic have set
the standard for contemporary civil
ization.
The end of that New Deal is not yet.
II the first fine careless rapture of the
brain trusters has been conspicuously
abated, forces have been liberated in
America whereof no man can predict
finality. The Huey Longs, the Father
Coughlins, the DR.. TownSends and
their enthusiastic followings are symp-
tomato of much. They are potent.
The incessant land nonsensicaD talk
about Soviet Russia is another por-
tent.
The abysses of the depression have
been left behind, but there are still
twenty-odd million people on the re-
lief rolls, cut off from activity, and
the youth of the country, emerging in
mass from school or college, despairs
of finding a Job. of usefully employing
its exasperatedly thwarted energies.

Where do we go from here?" No
body knows. There are those who ap-
prehensively or optimistically mutter
that America is headed for a colossal
and perhaps violent social revolution.
Outside America, there are watchers
who whisper the same thing. Probably
those Vaccinations are. as Mark Twain
remarked about his obituary notice.
much exaggerated. 1t Is to be hoped
so. The world disturbance caused by
the Bolshevik seizure of Russia would
be but a ripple compared to that con-
vulSion.
Popular Idea an Actually.
What are the factors which produce
a revolution? The popular idea is that
an intolerably oppressed people one
day rises Economically in its wrath,
bursts its bonds and overturns its
rulers for a bright new era. The
reality is not quite SO simple. The
first essential, of course, is that the
mass of the people should be dissatis-
fed with their lot Many times, during
the prosperity period, did the Komin-
tern bemoan the impossibility of revo-
lutionizing America while every Amer
lean worker had his automobile and
his radio paid for out of the highest
wages in the world.
But nothing is more certain than
that revolutions are never made by
the mass, nor even by a majority, but
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-06-30

! always by minority. sometimes tiny.
which clearly knows its aim and is
ruthless to achieve it. 1t has been
computed that during the French Rev.
olution there were not more than 5000
convinced revolutionists in Paris. nor
more than 10000 in the whole Of
France. Lenin himself said, after the
seizure of power in 1917, that the Boil
shevik party numbered only some
80 1000, whereof (he added. cynically)
each 100 contained so fools, 80 GRIM
inals and one genuine Communist.
Just before the seizure Of power, he
had written to his committee in Petro-
grad. Revolution is an art. 1t
would be childish to wait for formal
majority"
Yet widespread, popular malaise,
a mass surge of discomfort must pro-
vide the opportunity and the medium
for the exercise of that art. For the
October coup. Lenin cried: Everybody
into the streets A million in the
streets" He had his million in the
streets, manifesting historically like
a stampeded herd; but that million
did not effect the revolution. Trotsky
did that, with approximately a thou
sand men, armed and resolute, who
seized the telephone exchange, the
power stations-the nerve centers OF
the city. Nevertheless, without that
million in the streets, without that

Everywhere in the other continents,
above all in the newer ones, like
America, Africa and Oceanic, you are
imbued with the feeling that nature
has not been vanquished, but that
by its very grandeur it subdues man.
If you accept this Interpretation what
you mean by Europe becomes very
small
Until the sixteenth century the idea
of Europe conceded with the term
1.-THE West" and with what was called
Western civilization. But since the
renaissance and above all since the
beginning of the nineteenth century,
Europe has actually conquered the
world. This great process has meant
the continuous spreading out Of the
white race. All improvements on this
planet, wherever you look, have been
done on the European plan.
White Race Widely Dispersed.
The importance of the fact that
the white race can no longer be con-
sidered entirely European cannot es-
cape us; q great section of this race
has grown and prospered on the other
side of the oceans: Canadians, Amer
leans, Australians, South Africans,
South Americans cat least large por-
ton of them) belong undeniably to
the white race and are never thought
of as Europeans.
Nevertheless, our civilization, pro-
jected beyond our borders and adapt
ing itself to new geographic condi-
tions.- still remains the civilization Of
one race. though 1t Is no longer, Is

mass hysteria bewildering everybody.
Trotsky's thousand men would have
been promptly suppressed.
The Bolsnevik coup was a spectacu-
lar performance, staged by men who
had profoundly studied the technique
of revolution. But 1t did not appear
from nowhere overnight. 1t had q
long prologue in the miseries of a
land-hungry peasantry and OF an
undergrad industrial proletariat in
terwoven with humanitarian, reddish
pink sophistries of an intelligentsia
which fatiguedly doubted its right to
enjoy the civilization of the aristoc-
racy and the middle class whence 1t
was drawn. 1t had a backdrop of a
great war conducted by perhaps the
most scandalouSly incompetent gov
eminent the world has ever seen. 1t
had a rapturous first act, featuring
Kerensky. who preferred revolution
made with q speech and smile to
revolution made with a machine gun.
Kerensky was a lawyer. The f1rSt
acts of most revolutions are made by
lawyers. Trained to win victories by
dialectics, they naturally believe that
the world can be remade by speech.
The idvllic first act of the French
revolution was made by lawyers. and
the speeches were fine. The second
act showed the redeemers of human

formerly, the civilization Of one con-
tinent. Thus is born the idea of what
we mean by West-a civilization which
has overlooked our continental boun-
DIARIES; one whose real center OF gray
ity Is we know not where.
Twenty years ago We could never
have imagined all the consequences
of these changes that have taken
place, that Europe as whole Is no
longer Western according to the sense
in which we have attempted to define
the European tradition. An impor-
tant part of our old continent has
broken away from the Greco-Latin
influence under which Christianity
developed.
Lines Sharply Drawn.
The Russia of Stain, the Germany
of Hitler-are they Western? Who
would claim that they are? Certainly
not the Russians or the Germans
themselves. When you travel in Eu-
rope it is easy to distinguish the regions
that were dominated by Rome-others
have different characteristics which
persist even today. We still continue,
no matter what happens, to believe
in the unity Of Europe: but this unity,
if we ever succeed in reviving it, will
not be superimposed on the unity of
the West. Here is something we would
never have dreamed of saying before
the war, even though hundred years
ago the discourses Of Fichte contained
a revolt against the standard civili-
nations Of the Mediterranean.
On the other hand. and as q conse-
uuence Of this same world evolution,
