THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Tchn, Fortune, Turn Thy Whkhi. I ” There has been nothing more spectacular in modern history than the rise of the Holshevik dictators to supreme power, and there lias been nothing more dramatic than the fall of Trotsky and Kaineneff anil Zinovicff and Radok from those df'izy heights to the depths of degradation and impotence to which they are now relegated. A tew days ago we were told tlial Smirnoff, one of Lenin’s colleagues, is now working a ’lathe in a factory, and that Beloliorodoff, who as Commissar for Internal Affaris signed the deatli warrant for the murder of the Czar and his family at Ekaterinburg, is under sentence of execution. Now it is reported from -Moscow that Trotsky anil Railek anil the rest of them have been " exiled to distant provinces.,” and that they are going to, Siberia. And so Bolshevism, which was to change the face of the world by destroying Czarism, with its Coggings and tortures, its scaffolds and Siberian snows for all lovers of truth and freedom, has now recourse to these same methods of coercion and suppression. and the demi-gods of the Soviet hierarchy are the first to feel the weight of its vengeance. —Auckland Paper.
