Se Poe el ee ees Pe ee vias But the misunderstanding is a grave matter, likely to lead to consequences still more serious. A Russia's misunderstanding about}; the United States is chiefly the work ‘ of the group of pro-German highbind- ers in the United States senate, led by old Bill Stone, for these continually misrepresent and pervert the United States to the Russian mind. Our misunderstanding of Russia ts due principally to the “good story” habit of the American newspaper and the fact that the English speaking colony in Russia, as everywhere else, is reactionary and totally out of sym- pathy with the revolution. . There are 180,000,000 peopie in Rus- ela. Fvery day among them will hap- pen: about 10 events, let us say. that might be cabled as news ta America. On an average about two of the 10 are sent here. Everything cepends upen the choice of the two. By always picking out two that are ight that are hroughout the United > fixed. impression that everything in Russia hae:gone to perdition. It-is: the depressing and disturbing things that make what are called “good stories.” ‘Let us say that 10 Russian regi- ments are orderéd to the front. One refuses to obey. We get the one that refases but not a word about the nine that obey. Hence, of course, we conclude that mutiny is rampant and universal in the: Russian army. It is éxactly the same way about the attitude of Russia and Russians | toward the war and fighting. ‘There is a certain element in Russia that is sick of the whole business and anxious to see peace made on any old terms—no doubt of that. ~Fhere is a certain element among the soldiers that would rather run away than fight; no doubt of that, either. There isan element in the national council that still dreams of the uni- versal nation, aH boundaries broken down and all governments, except one, abolished. There is an element on the Gérman | payroll that runs about preaching the German cause and opposing any ac- tive. warfare. There is an element that yearns to see the war out of the way because the war interferes with the vast pro- gram of social reforms to which this element is. committed. / Every day in the week you can take the views and ideas of these elements 2 and prove to your own perfect satis- faction that Russia will never fight again and is on the point of deserting the allies. But none of these opinions would refleet average and typical Russia. In exactly the same way here a foreigner could take La Follette and Gronna and prove that we are a nation of crack brained fanatics working for an autocratic form of government, or take old Bill Stone and prove that we are a nation of yellow streaks. « Average and typical Russia, like average and typical America— that is the thing that will decide, and the best way to get at real Russia was at the national council of workmen's, soldiers’ and peas ants’ delegates. It is extraordinary that not one of the prophets that send out pessimism about Russia ever went near the council. Some of them did not know it existed, and some had it all mixed up in their minds with the local coun- cil of Petrograd. : In the council sat about 140 Bol- shevics, or extreme radicals, for one reason or another in favor of imme- diate peace on any terms. Some of these are anarchists, some are syndicalists, some are crooks, some are honest dreamers and some are mad. But on repeated test votes the larg- est they ever recorded for any pro- posal of theirs was 237; generally they cast 141. THE GREAT MAJORITY OF THE REST OF THE 830 DELEGATES, ' REPRESENTING AVERAGE AND TYPICAL RUSSIA, ARE IN FAVOR OF VIGOROUSLY CARRYING ON THE WAR. Nothing is ever said about them. All the attention is concentrated on the anarchists and dreamers. They make the “good story.” The council adjourned July 7, leav- jing an executive committee of 250 to carry on the government until the council should be reconvened, or the constituent assembly should be elected. The way this executive committee was made up shows exactly how the council was divided and reflects the views of Russians at ares panies, u are to remember, the council was tected by universal suffrage in every es part of Russia.
