Therefore I might not have answered him. But his comparison of the Communistic regime In Russia with the regime In that country be- fore the revolution, induces me to say « few words on this question, article “Soviet the A. S. M. From the construction of the ques- tions and from the choice of the theme itself, I presume that Mr. Hayes el- ther stands close to Communistie or- ganjzations or sympathizes with Com- munistic doctrines, Thirteen years of experience have shown that these yeople are usunily not susceptible to Any arguments, Nevertheless, some of uis errors are so fundamental, that | wish to pause on them. Mr. Hayes speaks of the ‘greatest sxperiment In “democratic” goyern- ment.” In this definition of the So- viet government lies the greatest mis- take—since the Bolshevik government ‘s allen dn all respects to democratic orinciples. It is evidently not known «© my opponent that the Bolsheviks In Jetober of 1917 have taken power by force, after having dispersed the Con- stituent Assembly, where they were in an insignificant minority, while the majority were “socialists—reyolution- aries." It should be kept in mind that the Communtstic party in 1917 had only 80,000 members, while the population of Russia was 170 millions. The democratic regime /made for a social to be held at the Abbotsford Constable Herdman took into cus- tody a demented man last week, who had attempted to commit suicide by slashing his throat.

Millions of slain, and suffering in pri- sons and exile in the farthest north are a sufficient proof of the existing terror, How can anyone speak of a democratic regime under such condi- tions ? “Democratic” Tortures Does Mr. Hayes know of the book “The Red Terror’ by a historian Mel- gunoff, which is translated into sev- eral European languages ? Those in- terested can find dn it descriptions of tortures in Soviet prisons, affirmed by documents and testimonies of wit- nesses. Is it known that the Com- munistic police in the cities of Pol- tava and Kremenchuk tortured to death all the priests ?_ In Poltaya in one day 18 priests were tortured to death, Perhaps Mr, Hayes considers this humane? In Harkoff during po- litical inquests, anti-Communists were scalped and ‘gloves taken off” (i.e: their hands were dipped into boiling water and skinned) In Voronej five pointed stars were branded on men’s foreheads. In Siberia nails were driy- en into men’s shoulders, and so on, A good “democratic experiment” Mr. Hayes ?

Bank robbers, criminals, murderers, are at the head of a great country : Having robbed the stussian people, they aim to widen the scope of their activities, Everything is done to pro- smote a revolution in China, India ana Western Burope. The necessary funds are drained from the Russian people. This is the explanation of the organ- ization of huge factories with slave labour, creation of enormous farms on land taken away from the peasants. This system makes it possible to leave only the minimum for the population. Such experiments are ago morals as well small scale they haye been conductea many times, and always unsuccess- fully. It fs enough to remind of the one experiment: organization of a Communistic colony by Australian workers in the nineties of the last century in Paraguay, under in the in- fluence of W. Lane, Lenin Betrayed Russia to Germans Mr, Hayes then brings up severai questions concerning the Czarist re- gime, which existed in Russia before the revolution. I must apologize, but nevertheless say that Mr. Hayes has @ very Incorrect conception of the old Russian government. He prokably is not aware of the fact that a parliament existed in Russia since 1905; that in the sixties of the last century the Em- peror Alexander 11. introduced a very humanelaw court independent of the administrative organs; ‘that no obsta- cles existed for any one in regard to education, except that there was a percentage proviso for admission of Jews into government high schools. I have neither time nor place to dis- cuss the absurd tale about some trea- chery of some Grand Duke. But 1 know the late leader of Communism, Lenin, In 1917, received from the Ger- man General Staff 50 millian gold marks for the destruction of the Rus- sian army by means of Socialistic propaganda, Is it worth while to discuss the ad- yantages of the government monopoly of trade, now enforced by the Com- munists in Russia, compared with pri- vate trade? It is well known that in Soviet Russia it ds impossible to buy articles of necéssity, (shoes, clothes, milk, butter, white bread, soap, etc.) that there are whole groups of citiz- ens (priests of all religious denomin- ations, former government officials officers, merchants, etc.) who ate un- able to procure cards to buy food in governemt stores, while there are no private ones, Did there ever exist in Buropean cities, before the reyolut- ion in Rusela, special organizations for sending food pancely to Russia ?

The German Social Democratic Party, the basis of which are the same works of Engels and Marks, as in the case of the Communists, it's contemp- orary theoretic, Kautsky, and the of- ficial organ of the German social dem- ocrats “Forwarts” are best of all in- formed of what is going on in unfor- tunate Russia, and they all are bitt- erly opposed to the activities of the Communists. Perhaps Mr, Hayes will suspect even these men of sympathis- ing with Royatism ? The facts of political lHfe should not be simplified to such an extent. Probably Mr. Hayes fancles there are only Communists and Czarists. The worthy gentlemen evidently does not know that among two million of Rus- sian emigrants scattered all over the world, there are not only Czarists, but also RepuUilicans and Socialists, that there are several republican and soc- ldlistic newspapers and magazines published. And they are all defnitely opposed to the regime of terror and robbery of Russia by the Communists, JOS, K, OKULITCH The News readers are deeply inter- ested in Russian conditions, so to avold acridities it should be stated that Mr. Okulitch prepared his articles upon Soviet Russia at special request of the publisher.
