No matter how good or how bad the Soviet system, we should know all about it. Instead, we have been ruled by prop aganda and hearsay. The fact is that for the past ten years the Bolshevik government has been operated on, dissected, and laid in its coffin amidst loud applause and rejoicing by distinguished orators in all parts of the world; yet today it is stronger, more stable, than ever before in its history, and its leaders have been longer in power than any other ruling cabinet in the world. It is high time that we appraise this government as scientifically and impartially as possible, without indulging in violent epithets or questionable and controversial dogmas. Surely the world is not so abysmally ignorant that after ten years of the rule of the Soviet we cannot discover a common core of truth about Russia. Whether the Communists are thought to be dan gerons enemies of society or the saviors of human ity, the facts should be known before judgment is pronounced. NO matter what our conviction, we have to admit that the Bolsheviki are hammering out a startling new mechanism in the field of political con trol. Their experiment deserves scientific study, not hostile armies; intelligent criticism; not damning epithets.
