New York, July 19.—Russia, as now constituted, is as little likely to make 2 separat> peace as is the United States, in_the opinion of C. H. Boyn- ton, of New York, president of the American-Russian Chamber of Com- merce. Mr. Boynton, who is now in Peirograd, has forwarded to tHe or- ganization, of which he is président, a statement on the cohditions in Rus- , in which he presents an opti- mistic view of the Russian outlook. Wherever separate peace has beén mentioned, it has been howled down with indignation, he writes. Efforts made by the Russian extremists to create disorders have been overthrown not by armed force but by the force of public opinion. “If in_the future appearances in_Russia should seem alarming,” Mr. Boynton asserted, “the real situation will be in the hands of a ministry composed of the best Rus- sia can offer.” He predicted that th!l task of re-organizing the government's policies will be accomplished before ! many months. Industrial operations, aceording to Mr. Bovnton, would at present meet insurmountable obstacles owing to the requirements of thé war; but he de- clared that American capital and merchants interested in the Russian feld, should lose no time in preparing and ‘equipping themseives for the huge commercial business which, in his opinion, is certain to bs co-incident with the end of the war. Mr. Boyn- ton’s statement follows “That one may have a fair and just appreciation of the e®ents which have taken and are vet to take place in Russia, it is necessary to understand the psychology of the situation. A nation under a rule of absolute auto- cracy for centuries suddenly found it- self an absolute democracy. Aimost over night autocratic Russia became the most liberal democracy in the world. Liberty, freedom and equality were proclaimed and political exilés and agitators were admitted within her horders from wherever arriving. A nation that had not dared to express its individual feelings or_ opinions, either in writing or in speech, was re- leased from all restraint. Years of repressed ideas and sentiments were able to find full vent. The govern- ment has allowed every phase of po- litical discussion, and even that of such an extremist as Lenin, to pro- ceed without interference and refused every suggestion of repression. If un- der ‘these circumstances theére should be a bable of conflicting 6pinions and some frantic agitation, it is not only understandable, but indeed quite nat- ural. The wisdom of the policy of permitting unrestricted assemblage and discussion was evidenced In the quick stamping out of anarchistic preaching by the power of public opinion. “This was not planned nor even or- ganized revolution. It was a sponta- neous outburst of dissatisfaction and resentment against existing rule so unanimous that an empire became a democracy with the least bloodshed that ever overturned a long establish- ed reign. Keep straight before vou the fact that this has been a political revolution. The problems now con- tronting the government are both so- cial and political. Social evoiution must follow political revolution. In a nation so huge and of such diversi- fled interests, time, courage and pa- tience must be allowed for clear un- derstanding and adjustment. The marvel is that with restraint and con- trol absolutely removed, disorder has been so inconsequential. ‘The possibilities from the dangers of disorganization were enormous, es- pecially as many criminals were set at liberty, and yet there has_ been no vandalism and no invasion of personal rights, except the few local instances located in the centre of wiolénce dur- ing the days of the actual revolution.

Those who neglect to take ad- vantage of the present for these pre- liminary steps will find that when the r is ended others who have done so normal psycholos: “To undérstand the demonstration of last week, (May 4) which on its surface looked menacing and grace, it must be kept in mind that in Russia such demonstrations are the only method by which popular opinion can find expression.

Whatever further occurrences |others who are g hically nearer of this sort take place must be so in- terpreted. On the day of the 21st, (May 8, Gregorian calendar) when the government took its positive stand against the extremists, it was possi- ble to see in these demonstrations the quick turn in public sentiment. Within two hours after the anti-government parade passed up the Nevsky, the streets were filled with cheering sup- porters of the government, and the effort of the extremists to create dis- orders was quickly overthrown, not by armed force, but by the force of pub- lic opinion. The Soldiers’ and Work- men’s deputies denied responsibility for the agitation and investigation proved that the whole movement came from agitators with uiterior motives. The result has been wholesome and a decided strengthening of the govern- ment's position. t should not be overiooked that these disorders were local and that the nation at large, so enormous in territory, quietly pursued its ordinary vocations. Since that day there has not been the slightest disturbance or demonstration anywhere. A recent meéting of the governors representing nearly all European Russia showed that the nation at large supported the provisional government. “The future will hold other occa- sions when superficial appearances will seem alarming, but the real sit- uation will be in the hands of a min- istry which, even the most critical acknowledge, is composed of the best Russia can offer. These men are working patriotically to the limit of their physical abilities to bring mod- ern progressive methods into govern- ment machinery that had become rus- ty and ineffective. It will take tima 0 reorganize the government’s poli- cies, and executive administration, but the men who are burdening themselves with the task are ceértain to realize the fruits of their labors before many months. “The commercial and business op- portunities lie in every branch of in- lustry and trade, just as much so as onfronted the United States one hun- ired years ago. War has created a oareity of Jabor and the war's neces- ities practically monopolize transpor- lon faeilities. Thus immediate in- Qustrial operations would encounter Imost insurmountable obstacles and heavy financial commitments for new enterprises would not be justifiable at this time. Merchants everywhere seek American goods and orders are the easiest of things to secure, but deliv- eries are impossible, except for such goods as the government permits for the requirements of the war. There is & world's shortage of tonnage and no private enterprise or opportunity can be permitted to occupy one vard of space that energetic prosecution of the war_requires. “Russia has few ports, and the full transportation facilities from them are more than necessary for handling ab- solutely essential freight. In refus- ing to permit private enterprises to hinder thé war’s réquirement Amer- icans must recognize that Ru. taking a proper step to assist her al- lies to win the essential victory.
