The communistic government O
Russia has not bothered the capital
istic democratic nations by robber,
war as Germany does. Russia woult
live in peace with other nations. Sh,
voted for disarmament and actet
accordingly, and used all her energ,
in building up her industry, while tn,
other big nations were quibblin,
about how much and what kind O
weapon each of them should be al
lowed to have with which to figh
each other.
It was not the communists tina
started the rebellion in Russia. Tn,
Nihilists had for many years triec
to overthrow the government, anc
for that purpose killed two of the
Cars. The Nihilists were of the up.
per class, and it must have beer
the same class that did away with
the Car family, and organized the
Karensky government, of no benefi
to the common class, which was t
be kept down as slaves and not have
schools, but they were not only al
lowed to be religious but forced t.
be Greek Catholics. There was ne
religious freedom. They were borr
and forced to belong to the Greek
Catholic church. Others were driver
by the Car out of Russia.
The church was governmental
institution and the Car the head o1
it, so the priests were government
officers and had placed themselve.
against the revolution with all the
brutality which is in all revolutions
1t has been treatment they had
something like the Roman Catholics
in France give their priests after the
revolution against them when the
church had taken possession of near
ly all property. The people had to rent
their homes from the church at rate
so high so they could not make q
living. BY the end of the revolu-
ton in France they had so many
priests to be beheaded they had a
person by the name of Guillotine
make machine to do it with. The
machine bears his name (Guillotine)
and picture of it is in Webster's
dictionary.
The people in France had nothing
against the religion, but the revolu-
ton was against the priests. The
case in Russia may have been some
thing like that.
Now they have freedom for all
kinds of religion in Russia. The gov
ernment has nothing to do with it.
1t is strictly private; no favors and
no hindrances. We see by that, that
Russia was not the only one to make
brutal revolution when it was
needed.
After the revolution in France the
property was declared government
owned, and should be sold to the
people, but they had no money to
pay for it. 1t was the same in Rus
sia, except the property should re-
main in public ownership which is
communism, but it was feared by
other nations that it would have in
fluence on their people, so there was
started propaganda all over to check
it; but here in the United States is
no reason for fear of that.
We have a constitution to the eff
feet that we can have all needed re-
form if people will vote for it; but
if they will not vote for it, that is on
account of being misled by dema-
gogues.
The United States and England
came to the conclusion that COM
unism is not so dangerous as Hitler
ism. They will not have Hitler kill
communism, and thereby add the
Russian strength to the German
strength so as to be ready for us.
