Communism May Fade Out

Communism May Fade Out
THE last of the great absolute
monarchies was that of the
czars. Even in Russia the demand
of the illiterate mass for some
semblance of a free government
had forced Nicholas to establish the
duma. 1t was not much, it had but
little, if any, authority, but it was
signboard pointing the road to free
government.
1t was the dictatorship Of tho
cars, plus the defeat Of the
Russian armies in World War I,
that offered the opportunity for
the Kerensky social revolution.
But the masses were not pre-
pared for the self government
that revolution offered. The
MARKHAM communistic dictator
ship under the reasonably be-
nevOlent Lenin, and then the
more definite, not so communis-
tic real dictatorship of Stain,
was the final result.
Today the Russian iron curtain
prevents those outside from know
ing what is happening behind that
curtain, or those inside from know
ing conditions outside the darkness
that envelops them.
Can that condition be permanent?
History would answer mo" 1t can
last only so long as a small minor
ity, represented and supported by
one man, controls the army That
minority control, the Communist
party, represents less than per
cent of the Russian population. Now
the one man, Stain, controls sthe
party, and with it the army. With
Stain is the politburo of 10 men, Of
which Stain is the leader.
STAINS SUCCESSOR
Stain is nearing the end Of his
allotted span of life. Is there an
other to follow who is strong enough
to control that minority? I do not
know. There was time when
Stalin's dictatorship was menaced
by some of the army leaders. That
threatened revolt was squelched by
ruthless hand, but there might be
another.
Such evidence as seeps out
from behind that iron curtain
would indicate a slowly, but
steadily, growing demand on
for relief from the dictatorship.
While Stain lives that demand
will be unrecognized. What the
future will be after he passes
will depend upon the strength Of
the Russian people, the masses,
plus, at least, considerable
portion of the rank and file of
the Red army, as opposed to
the strength Of some one of the
10 men then composing the
pOlitburo. What the result will
be is any ones guess.
The Russian masses, including
large portion of the rank and file of
the Red army, do not want another
war; they do not want more terri
tory; they do not want to dominate
world ideologies; they do not want
the growing class distinctions the
Stain system has created. They do
want more of the pleasures of liv-
ing; they want individual freedom,
of which they have caught a
glimpse through that iron curtain.
They do not want war, or the task
of preparing for war. Instead they
want consumer goods.
Only time can give the world an
answer to the Russian problem. In
the meantime we must be pre-
pared, not for the inevitable, but
for the possible. Stains passing
might solve the greatest of the
worlds problems, or it might not
change present conditions. Person
ally I lean bit to the optimistic
side.

Study in Morals

pERHAPS it was reaction after
bitterly contested political fights
over taxes, labor, appropriations or
reciprocal trade, perhaps the Rus
sian situation or some other cause
brought it up, but the house of rep
resentatives gravely listened to
speech after speech on morals in
government. Brooks Hays of Arkan-
sas, Mike Monroney of Oklahoma,
Everett Dirksen of Illinois, George
Sadowski of Michigan, John Hestle-
ton of Massachusetts and others
joined in the verbal barrage. The
parade was climaxed by a speech
by Cong. Charles ]. Kersten Of
Wisconsin. He said in part:
eve should constantly let it
be known to the world that
ours, the finest government in
the world. is based on recog-
milton of the fact that men are
essentially equal the world
over, that their fundamental
rights-the right to life, the
right to liberty, the right to
seek and live a happy life
these rights and others are
given to them by their God. No
dictator, no president, no court
gives them these rights. Laws
and governments not based on
human nature will wither away.
But laws and governments
which recognize that a human
being is a king made in the
image and likeness of his Crea-
tor, that he has rights and a dig
nifty given him by his Creator,
right, and dignity that no state
can take away-those laws and
that government shall stand the
test of centuries"

Hollywood is divided into stars
