Nou'd better do your talkin’ to my wyer! t “Ruby!” called the girl at the Besk. But the wire brought no answer to tht repeated call, and Teddie hung up the receiver. She placed it slowly and carefully on its hook and xat staring ut the cadmium tinted wall, with a look of helpless protest on her bewildered young face. And for the second time she found herself face to fuce with a forlorn and seem- ingly fruitless eurvey of her re- sources: Once or twice, in her desperation rhe was even tempted to pack up and scurry off to Hot Springs in the wake of her Uncle Chandler. But that, she pemembered, would be more thaa cowardly, It would be foolish, for 't Yould be nothing more than 4 mo mentary evasion of the inevitable. And besides being a sacrifice of dig- nity, it would stand as an advertise- ment of guilt. Then out of a world that seemed as cold and empty as a_ glacial moraine came one faint glow of hope. On the gray-line of a Sahara of un- certainties appeared a tremulous palm- frond or two, For Teddie, in ber mis- ery, had suddenly taken thought of Gerald Rhinelander West.

Mr. Robert Williams, when ad- dressing a meeting in Trafalgar Square, on Aug. 29, described himself as ‘‘a friend and colleague of Kam- eneff"’ and urged ex-soldiers to send propagandists to “the barracks of the horse and foot guards, artillery, cav- alry and police and secure them as members of @ National Union of Ex- Servicemen.”* . The extremists had now their first rebuff. Their application to be re- ceived into the Labor Party was de- clined. The Communist Party was not the only body concerning itself with tampering with the forces of the Crown. The National Secretary of the “Hands Off Russia” Committee drew up a circular addressed to the troops in the occupied area, urging them not to consent to be used against Russia and certain members of the National Union of Ex-Service- men were active in garrison town: trying to arouse sympathy among serving sailors and soldiers for the miners if it came to a strike, In September, 1920, two more Com- munist parties came into being—the Communist Labor Party of Great Britain, formed in Glasgow, and the ‘outh Wales and West of England Communist Party in Cardiff.

The Trade Union Congress was sit- ting at Portsmouth at the time and to Portsmouth Mr. Lansbury set out in haste to confer with the labor lead- ers. Whatever his own inclination may have been regarding the accept- ance of a subsidy from the Bolsheviks, the labor leaders were quite solid against it, and therefore the Herald came out unblushingly with the an- nouncement that a sum of £75,000 had been offered to the editor and that it had been declined. In speaking of the £75,000, Mr. Lansbury observed that “‘to accept It would be to complete a notable ept- sode in international Socialism.” It wns certainly a notable episode in British journalism. OTHER MONEY DIFFICULTIES. ‘The revelations and the subsequent correspondence with Mr. Ernest Bevin, director of the Daily Herald, and the Prime Minister were an un- doubted blow to the prestige of the paper, not only in the mind of the public but in that of working men.

The revolutionary press certainly gave us more than our fair share of advertisement. Scarcely a week passed without my name appearing in the headlines of the Dally Herald, which seemed to be unconscious of the testimonial {t was giving to the efficiency of the department. Nothing seemed to happen in which Mr. Lans. bury did not detect my finger. Early in 1920 the Russjan Govern- ment began really to feel {ts way in this country. It had set up and en- dowed the Third International, which wus to be a cover for all its activities in other countries. To do the Soviet leaders justice, they had always de- clared that Communism in Russ could survive only if there were si multaneous revolutions in every other country. LENIN’S PLAN FOR UNITY.
