I have said that life in Moscow was grey and dull There was a quality of tension in the atmosphere, which may have been due to the felt pre sense of a strong Government joined to an ignorance of the relation in which at any moment one might stand: towards it. For that it is a strong Government is beyond dispute. The ides that it is composed of men who have forced themselves into offices for which they are entirely unfit seems to me. after a month's experience of them, quite outside the truth. The eighteen Commissaries, or Ministers, are men of unusual intelligence, in some cases of high technical qualifica tions. And, however they have been chosen, they have been well chosen.

The Commissaries of the People form the real Executive, and they are
competent officials for the Soviets in the country. They found themselves up against the besetting sin of the old! bureaucracy, and they themselves trace many of their

In the palatial club of the Moscow merchants they have established a school of Soviet workers, with 700 students, drawn from all parts of Rus- sia by the local Soviets, whose ex- penses are paid and a course of tour
