By CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL.! (Copyright, 1917, by the Newspaper ‘Enterprise Association.) Russia is the Land of Terrible Things to Be. No-matter “how careless you may read your newspaper you must have noticed ‘that: fact. In Russia, according to some news- papers, everything is always going to! the bad. One-day Hideous Anarchy rears its Appailing Head. ‘The next day the troops are about to revolt. The next day Riga fs°about to fall. The next day Petrograd is about to be evac- uated. Finland is avout to revolt. The Russfan army is about to flee in disorder. Allis lost always. ray of hope. If you were to turn back to the files There isn't a and .tercad the ‘despatches of somal correspondents you would see that since the day of the revolution every stricken thing ‘hds: been sodden in gloenr ‘of which the best that could be said was that the condition today was not quite so bad as it would be tomorrow. Nothing good hz the. caar. got: the ¢ ently heaven is av impiety. by plunging ‘h day into a lower a Disaffection’ ‘is’ spreading’ rapidly among the soldiers. The Duma, ‘the only constitutional body in the coun- try” has ceased to exercise any pow- er, and that ' means black despair. Kerensky has been made dictator, but no one will allow him to dictate, so there is no hope there. The warring factions in Russia ‘are terrible.‘ They even have disputes. The conservative elements are being overwhelmed by the ferocious radicals, who plan to eat everybody alive. The country is hopelessly bankrupt; the rouble went down another cighth of a cent yester- day and of course that means the col- lapse of Russia tomorrow. The an- archists have zed a palace today and.tomorrow will blow up everybody. All is lost. And then thore are the Ukrainians. Ah, yes. The Ukrainians. Weil, if there were nothing else to tinge all the horizon with funeral black, the Ukrainians would ‘still be sufficient happened since tick. Appar- country every f ruin. that act of| is for the job. The Ukrainians are ter- rible fellows. They have revolted and declared ‘their independence, or if they haven’t today they will tomor- row. Then they: will march upon Pe- trograd and murder us all in our bed», and how will you feel then, you people jthat have been saying perhaps there still a chance on earth?» When the Ukrainians have killed everybody they will make an alliance with Ger- many and the German flag will float over our graves. And I guess that, will hold you for a while. For more than five months this’ flood of gloom has been poured over: the columns of British and American newspapers, and the Dismal Dopers are still at it day by day, totally un- discouraged by the fact that not one of their ever come true. For the amazing fact is that while all these Jeremiahs are woestricken at the approach of disaster, Russia goes its way utterly unaware that it jis all smashed up or about to be. Instead of getting worse, everything in Russia gets slowly but surely bet- ter. The shock incident to a tremendous change in government is passing, the people are finding themselves and per- ceiving what they must do to save ‘the revolution, discipline is coming -back to the army, the dreams of an Instant: Utopia are giving place to realities, the new machine is beginning to work. Icut I suppose that if the Angel Gabriel came down and set up in Rus- sia the most perfect government ever the Dismal Dopers of the Brit- (from whom we get the greater part of our misinformation) would still see Kiga surrendered, the anarchists cutting throats and the Uk- rainians marehing upon us to murder us in ‘our beds. 1 think it is about time to call off some of these Amalgamated Sons of Woe and afford them much needed rest. They all begin with one fundamen- tal error and then build resoijutely on that, making the facts fit their theory. The error is that te Russians are totally unfitted for self-government. Why? Because they have fever had any experience or training, because this National Council of Workmens’ Soldiers’ and Peasants’ Delegates (the only governing body in Russia) is composed of low, cominon, ignorant men ,and because they don’t speak the English language. No people can be considered fit to}- be free except thosé that speak Eng- lish or something like it. But as a matter of fact, these men that are steering Russia have had Girls!

In the midst of the old autocratic national government of Russia, the worst, the most corrupt and the most oppressive known to man, the Russian village system presented an example ‘ of almost pure democracy. Everything about the affairs of the village, except its relations to the national government and the adminis- tration of the national systems of po- lice and justice, was regulated by the village in open town meeting. Outside of the New England town, we have nothing in this country that equals it for democracy. It was in those little village repuv lics that_these men were trained in the rudiments of democracy, affainrs, democratic machinery. There they learned to ‘make effective pub- tie addresses, to conduct legislative business, to judge proposals about public interests. For the last forty or fifty years the villages have been electing dele- gates to district assemblies where the concerns of larger areas were dealt with and have thus had training in representative government and a broader outlook. It is no wonder then, that men like Tschaidse and Tseratelli, Skobeloff and Tschernow, know exactly how to preside over the council, how to carry on its business with accuracy and des- patch. They have been doing some- thing of the kind (whenever. they were not in prison or exile) for many years, The Dismal Dopers never saw a meeting of the National Councii. + That is why they are able to proceed with their theory that it is composed of very ignorant and untrained men and everything it does must somehow be bad. Rut even if they had the least basis for their mournful dreams, which they haven't ,this would be a mighty bad time to be spreading them and ex- aggerating them . Because whenever they do that they are playing straight into the hands of the wonderful German propaganda, now putting forth every effort to foot the allied countries into a truce mis- named a peace. Therefore I think that the next trip I had better tell you some of the inside wonders of une great German public opinion. ma- | Spine as I saw it at its work in Rus- Sila. “PROTECTING” |. W. W.
