LENIN AND THE WAR. UNIVERSAL REVOLUTION. In the labyrinth of conflicting informe tion which envelopes our knowledge of contemporary Rusis nothing is more puzeling than the legend which has grown up around the name of Vladimir Ilyitch Denis. This legend is interpreted in different "ways and appears in many different forms. To the parfervid 'up holder of Church and State Lenin is still a German agent, probably a Jew in dis guise, and almost certainly Anti-Christ, To others again who have no confirmed political convictions he appears as a kind of superman" of devilish cunning, whose band is visible in every labpur strike or demonstration, be it in the streets of London or on the banks of the Ohio, Perhaps, however, the most dangerous form of the legend is that of the scati mental revolutionaries in this country

Add to this his famous phrasa “* to turn the Imperialist way into a civil war that was the main task we set ourselves! at the beginning of the war," and we havo Lenin's whole war creed in a single paragraph. He saw the war merely as a gigantie conflict which was to create in all the fighting countries a pathological stato of imrest peculiarly suitable for bis dream of world-revolution.

ALMING AT UNIVERSAL REVOLUTION.
As early as the beginning of 1915 we find him writing optimistically, of the pas sibilities of world-revolution -
faca of this indefiniteness regarding Lenin's position is due, first, "to that in accesibility at approach which Lenin has always cultivated; and, secondly, to the fact that Bolshevik Russia to-day is governed not by the All-Russian, Congress of Soviets not even by the Contral Ere- outive Committee, but by the Central Committee of the Bolshevist Party, a small revolutionary oligarchy, whose deli- berations, disputes, wranglings, and conciliations are always held in private and only divulged to the public when the to the bourgeoisie, lis shattered and help leaders are in a position to put forward less wefore the storm of Chauvinism and a united policy.

A ittle later in 1815 he formulates quite clearly what his policy would be in the event of his party coming into power during the war:-
We would offer (he writes) peace to all the combatants on condition of the libe ration of the colonies and of all dependent nor France, nor England would accept these and oppressed peopics Neither. Germany, terms under their present Governments.
