DR. FRANK CRANE’S DAILY EDITORIAL
THE TROUBLES OF THE SOVIETS (Copyright, 1927) 'J'HE Soviets are having trouble. Great Britain recently severed relations with the Russian Government, and Canada promptly followed suit There has been much difficulty between the Soviet Government and the United States. America has never recognised the Soviet political machine What is the matter? The matter is that the Bolshevik Government fails to recognise the fundamental necessity of all Governments, which is to mind its own business, regulate the internal affairs of its own country, and let other nations alone. The Soviet Republic is a Communist tyranny imposed by a few Bolshevists upon an immense population that can hardly be said to be in favour of it except as it does not yet see any better. Communism is more than a political theory. It almost has the fanaticism of a religion. Its fundamental idea is that the whole capitalistic system is wrong, and that it is the religious out* of the eople to overthrow it. After Communism has been proved a success at home, it might have some chance of succeeding abroad. But for an unworkable and bankrupt idea to undertake to overturn the world and convert it is absufd.
