devote to thoughts of the "ethics o
craftsmanship" especially so whe1
the underdog knows that he has beer
betrayed and double-crossed by the
rest of the pack For a comprehen
sive understanding of that betraya
the student should read the "Bullitt
Report" of which it is vel to make
brief mention here. At the peace con
ference of Versailles, the big Four
leaders of the capitalist nations Lloyd
George, Clemenceau, Orlando, and
Wilson were as 'jittery" over the
state of capitalism as are the officials
of "Your Electric Company" today
And with good reason. They feared
the spread of the Russian Expert
ment" and dispatched Bullitt Cater
ambassador to RUSSIA to Moscow to
make terms with the Bolshevic lead
ers The Bolshevics desiring nothing
more than peace, and time to work
out their own economic salvation met
the big Four" proposals even more
than halfway. The assurances given
to Bullitt were even better than the
big Four" had hoped to secure. How
the big Four" double crossed the
Bolshevics and even their own ennis
sary, Bullitt was amply demonstrated
by the aid given to the armies of
Kolshak and Dennikin and constitutes
another chapter in the history of CAPT
talist diplomacy that smells to high
heaven of the rottenness of the CAPT
talist system.
That the Russian Experiment" has
been successful has been clearly dem
onstrated to anyone who is sufficient
ly interested to read between the
lines" of our capitalist press, by the
'wishful thinking" attitude of our
newspapers especially during the Pc
Rod of the Russo-Finnish war. Dur
ing that period one expected every
day to see bold headlines proclaiming
that SEVEN Firms HAVE THE
RUSSIAN ARMY SURROUNDED. |
If one were to believe the capitalist |
papers the Finnish army won every |
battle but the last one and published |
casualty lists proved conclusively"
that the victorious Films" had |
the entire population Of I
Russia on three separate occasions.
Yet when hostilities ended, Russia
from the fray with the con-
cession which she had first asked
from Finland and which (but for the
Intervention of capitalist nations) the
Firms had been willing to grant, the
permission to fortify the Aaland is
ands as protection to the port of /
Leningrad The magnanimity of the
5oviets was clearly indicated when
Russia, in a position to dictate terms,
agree to pay to Finland five million
dollars a year for that concession.
Press reports of those days, die
ated as always by corporate inter-
,sts, were clearly indicative of great
Ieal of "wishful thinking" and gave
of a severe case of "capi- {
alist jitters' from which the CAPT
alist leadership of the world is still !
acutely.
That the capitalist press now gives :
more or less grudging) praise to the !
ioviets is not an indication that CAPT L
alist leadership is ready to bury the
atchet' nor is it an indication (as
he press would have us believe, that {
.usia is veering toward the right" y
nd away from socialism, but simply p
dditional evidence of wishful think
