With regard to silk stockings, the Bolshevists have no objection to them if they are wearing them, Miss Flynn explained the apparent contra- diction of proletariat principles thusly: “The Bolsheviki believe in silk stockings for the proletariat as ap- posed to silk stockings merely for the aristocracy.” The deported “Reds” will go away from this country with a whole lot more than they had when they came to it, which is in observance of an- other principle of the radicals, Berk- man has accumulated three grips and a trunkload of clothing and canned goods, the best the country can afford.
