Lenin’s Envoys of Hate.

YYORLTMYIDK I’ROI’AGANDA. GLASS AND COLOUR \YAU. MOSCOW, December o. To everybody living in Russia the intei itiitioitiil ehtiraeter of the Soviet Government, is one of its most striking characteristics, though to outsiders that aspect is less noticablo. I have already referred to the celebrations it) Petrograd and Moscow which marked the last anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. The corresponding celebrations in France and in America, on July 1 I and July I. are always national. In one ease all the inscriptions are in the language of the United •Slates, and in the other eases they are in French. There is no attempt t.. Conciliate, foreign sentiment.

In Russia on .November 7 it is absolutely different. Very many of the inscriptions are in foreign lungnrge.-;; and even the Russian inscriptions make it clear that the Bolshevist victory was a victory of the workers of the world over the capitalist and the bourgeois ensLcs. During the Civil War the Bolsheviks always extended hospitality to the. representative- . f British and Ereneh 1.-a.ls,t!r a-til made it clear that the great bulk of the population in Britain. liTanee. and the United States were not their enemies but their friends.
