These were regarded as a general rehearsal | before opening of the grand show. Lenin delivered a speech before one of the meetings, emphasizing the im- portance of the peasant questions, and the resolutions adopted proved that this class is slowly but surely con- quering the communist party.

'he conferences went on record in favor of organizing individual home- steads, renting land, hiring labor and generally strengthening the “middle class” peasant by giving him a fair- sized allotment of land and a fair amount of equipment. Considered Tactical Move. This may be looked upon as a clever tactical move. The bolsheviki now real- ize that the revolution has not trans- formed the peasant into a_communist. According to law, the land belongs to the state, but every peasant regards the land he is using as his own and he expects to pass it on to his chil- dren. Furthermore, the peasants are showing a strong desire to break away from the village community. In Smolensk and other western provinces the peasants are dividing the land into farms and moving their houses on their own homesteads. In Vladi- mir and other central districts the peasants are joining their scattered parcels of land into unified farms. In other parts of Russia, villages with several thousand inhabitants are breaking up into smaller settlements so that the peasants can be ne: their land and manage it more easily. ~In all these movements the leader is the “middle” peasant, whose strong sense of -proprietorship and desire for economic improvement give him the strongest influence in the village. The politically clever bolsheviki ally them- selves with this element. Herolc Measures Needed. Economically the,movement is urg- ent, for Russian agriculture is in a sad condition. More than one-fourth of the pre-war cultivated area is lying idle, and the loss of farm equipment 1as been large. More than 18 per cent of the plows and 20 per cent of the threshers are gone. The loss of farm animals has been even greater, with a consequent lack of fertilizer. The economic organizations of the peasants, such, for example, as the co- operative societies, have been de- stroyed and heroic measures are nec- f Russian agriculture is to be revive The bolsheviki realize that their|my motor car for humane redsons, chief hope lies in the initiative and |Plained Lieut. Husted. self-interest of the peasants. Being a |alyze a pedestrian with fear, he leaders | stand still and realistic lot, the bolshevik are now ready to desert their old al- lies, the poorer peasants; abandon the idea of a class struggle in the village and to work hand in hand with the middle-class peasantry in order to in- crease agricultural production. Official Gives Views. Discussing the situation with me re- lcenlly, M. Osinki, the commissar of agriculture, admitted as much. “We are approaching the land prob- lem,” he said, “not from the Marxist standpoint, but from a general demo- cratic angle. We are trying to make selling of land. We shall encourage co-operative agriculture, but we shall not force anything upon the peasants. i They-are to be left free to choose their own forms of farm working. How- ever, Russian agriculture will not make much progress unless we get seed grain from foreign countries.” —_———— BANDITS HAVE OFFICES. German Gang Plunders Banks, Business Places and Post Offices. _ By the Associated Press. BERLIN, December 16.—The crimi- nal police today announced the arrest of tl y members of an alleged communist band which has been systematically plundering banks, business offices and post offices in Prussia, Saxony and Ba- varia. The men are said to have six offices in Berlin and to have maintained a reg- ular courier service for carrying on their work. It is charged by the police that the men utilized parades and labor unrest, which they themselves stirred up, to gain their ends. All of them pos- | sessed false identification papers. ‘Their leader, who is described as a wandering communist orater, named Karl Robert Plaetner, tscaped capture. His men always worked in bands of ten {to twenty, and recent outrages in Ber- lin, Leipzig, Halle and Dresden are laid to them. —_— YANKS BUY PRESENTS. Soldiers on Rhine to Make Poor Happy Christmas.
