PAGE Foun:mmx % ANOTHER VIEW OF RUSSIA For some reason not yet brought to hght a number of big papers prewous- ly giving a most pessimistic view of Russia, have recently carried the fol- lowing announcenients of a much dif- ferent kind which first appeared in the New Statesman of London, Eng.: “QOrder is more thoroughly re-estab- lished in Russia now than at any time [ since the fall of czardom,” said the New Statesman. “Food distribution is better organ- ized than at any time during the whole war. Factories are rapidly starting up again, as fast as raw material can be obtained. Management of the factories by committees failed, for obvious reasons. Management by the soviets, with consultative committees of employes, has been substituted with growing success. “The bolsheviki, though hampered by undesirable tools, are cleaning the country of bribery and corruption. ‘Terror’ has ceased. It has been greatly exaggerated. “If Nikolai Lenine had not been in bed, as the result of a wound, there would have been no ‘terror’ in Moscow. There has been no execution in Mos- cow for two months. During the ‘ter- ror’ there were 400 executions, of which 60 per cent were corrupt soviet officials. Inefficiency is being reme- died by rapid recruiting from the edu- cated classes. “The Red army has become a real disciplined force, with a new spirit of revolutionary and nationalistic en- thusiasm. Its numbers are uncertain, but’ there are at least 600,000 men in its ranks. It has rifles, machine guns and ammunition in plenty, but little artillery. No Russian army has a chance against it. It has experienced nothing but success since September. “Great masses of-professional men and petty bourgeoisie have gone over to the bolsheviki during the past few -months. In the large towns the work- men almost unanimously support the bolsheviki. The peasants were hostile for a long time, but the formation of ‘poverty committees’ and the adminis- tration of the affairs of every village” in the interests of the peasants has re- sulted in a great majority now keenly supporting Lenine. " “The invading British army, whlch six months ago would have found many friends, now finds only a very few. These are mostly property own- ers. “Where the White Guards (anti- bolsheviki) temporarily occupied dis- tricts, they have carried out ‘terrors’ on a scale the Red Guards never dreamed of. “Any government established by us will need the support of foreign bay- onets, 2s the Russian proletariat are thoroughly imbued with bolshevism. “The bolsheviki would be certain to get a majority in a constituent assem- | bly, but they prefer a soviet govern- ment. This is frankly class rule, in which property owners have no voice until they become proletarians, but, as a majority rule, it is broader than ours was before the last reform act.” A MOST DISGRACEFUL CHAPTER The most disgraceful chapter in the history of the Northwest has not yet been written. - This chapter will tell how American tories, in the hope of protecting themselves against the in- _dignation of the people, persecuted the laborers and farmers of the North- west. With a firm hand on:the state governments, making use of sedition laws aimed against Huns, these tories not only resorted to mob law and vio- lence but- arrested - and brought into court men guilty of no crime except the crime of trying to protect them- selves against profiteers and plunder- ers.. When' this chapter shall ‘have been written by the 1mpartlal historian - it will be seen that it is the blackest ‘chapter in the whole thrilling’story of ~the Northwest. —-NEW NORTHWEST PN ADVERTISEMENTS Named shoes are frequently made in Non-Union fgctories DO NOT BUY ANY SHOE _| no matter what its name, un- less it bears a plain and read- able impression of this Union Stamp All shoes without the UNION STAMP are alwgys Non-Union Do not accept any excuse for Ab- " sence of the UNION STAMP Boot & Shoe Workers’ Union 246 Summer Street, Boston, Mass.
