[ THE mission of the Revolution headed by Prof. Boris Baklme-| “tieff, that comes to New York to-day, the metropolis sees for the first time the new type of Russian, representative of democracy, of intellect and of the people. We have known in the past only certain exotic types of Russians —money spending nobles, exiled nihilists, graceful ballet dancers and} that vast horde of industrious, maltreated Jews who fled to find freedom here. | The sentiment of America towards Russia has been an anomaly n international relations. For the old autocratic regime of the Czar, we had hatred, distrust and denunciation. For the masses of the) Russian people, vaguely known and vastly different from ourselves, | we had a strange, sentimental friendliness which coupled pity with} \ope that some day the giant Bear would rouse itself to liberty and, righteousness, | That day of regeneration has come, but brought with it uneasi- _ ness and anxiety to millions of Americans who were cheered by the Nevolution and ready to rush to the rescue. Next to safe arrival of ur own army in France, no war news of the year brought more rejoicing to this country than rallying of the Russian forces to the “offensive, Kerensky is a hero in American eyes. ‘The question that every New Yorker wants to ask of the Russian visitors is this: “Can the Provisional Government maintain itself and will the army keep fighting!” It is easier to crush the hollow shell of autocracy than it is to control the unleashed elements of democracy. Fanatical doctrinaires and radical visionaries, unbalanced by their new freedom, are the most dangerous foes of a new republic. Americans are anxious for the triumph of the liberated Russi people. We look and long for a leader to arise among them who can perform three Herculean tasks in one—ourb factional revolt, inspire the army, and at the same time insure democracy. | Every successful revolution for freedom has required a strong man to lead and to restrain. England had its Cromwell, America ite Washington, Italy its Garibaldi. Poor China has none and its inasses are slipping back under the Manchu yoke. Is Russia to expe-| rience the same eventual fate, or is Kerensky the man? | Kerensky at the head of Hussla’s revolutionary armies, rallying them to attack, is repeating a page of history. His prototype was Danton of the French Revolution, maker of Its first armies and inspiring gen! f its early fighting victories, In the darkest days of 1793, when France was surrounded on every side, Danton dashed off from Paris to the Army of the North. He found it defeated, dispirited, disorganized and infected with| insidious propaganda from the enemy that was already winning over its commander, Demouriez—a remarkable parallel to conditions that have prevailed on the Russian front. He reorganized the ranks, checked treason, inspired the soldiers to turn on their enemies. What was equally valuable, he found) them supplies and reinforcements in amazing manner. The army| of defeat was turned into the army of victory. | So far the parallel of Danton and Kerensky holds good. But he man of 1793 went further. Back in Paris he faced the National Assembly. “I know no enemy but the foreign foe,” he cried. Then he ashed the wrangling politicians. “Your quarrels are contemptible. ‘Vhey do not kill a single Prussian. You fatigue me with your feuds. Let us beat the enemies of France. Let us fight. Let us conquer our freedom. I have been called a drinker of blood, Well, if we must drink any blood, let it be that of the enemies of humanity.” What next of Kerensky! Will he go to Petrograd and face the quarrelling factions that threaten the new Government? Liberty alone suffers. Will he lash moderates, socialists and radicals alike to unite them In national defense! In the critical hour Danton was heroic, the soul and fire of| France’s fighting spirit.
