WILL POLSHEVIST PLEDGĦS BE HONOURED ?
Business men before putting money into Russia to-day will naturally ask themselves. one or two questions. The first in-What is the security for any pledge made by the Bolshevist Government? How do we know that it will be carried out, or that it. will not, when convenient to it, repudiat its bend? (writes Mr. F. A. Mackenzie in the Empire Mail.)
The security of any concession from the B Jaheviats depends first upon whether |the B-Iberist "Government is likely to endure or nut, 1 have found to me aston- ishment, during "my short stay in Eng- land, that a large number of people hero and in France are under the impression that Bolshevism will shortly receive its -death-blow.

ERUPTIONS ON LIMBS TWO YEARS
Could Not Rest For Pain and Agony. Cuticura Heals.

"I was treated put it did not do any good. A friend told me of Cuticura Soep and Ointment and I used them. When I had used two tins of Cuticura Ointment with the Cuticura Soup I was completely beled." (Signed) Mrs. J. Spencer, 1. Magdala Rd., Isleworth, Middle sex, Eng., May 20, 1920.

I may dislike some of their political theo- ries, have shown the will, the ruthlessness. and the resolution which brings success. To-day they are also showing another quality, an adaptability and willingness to adjust their theory to actual condi tions, which promises well.
If Babeviam goes down, it will go dawn before either oue of two things, before a religious-revival, or a wave of anarchy. I see no prospect of either of these two things tubing place.
BUSINESS MEN AGAIN IN POWER.
The second problem is-Will the Bol sbevist Government keep, its word ?
It is to the obvious interest of the Gov- ernment to keep ita word, to create a con- |dition of confidence, and to restora commu- nications with the world. It has learned its lesson in a very" hard school, Russia cannot live alone. Russia cannot do with- out business with other lands. The only way Russia gan secure this is by adapting her economic role to the economie code of other lands.
Nothing has been more remarkable dur ing the past few months than the way old business izen and 'old merchants, have come back to places of authority and power. One finds the different departments of the Government being run now ngt by exte mists, but by practical and trained Men. The change, even during the winter, was almost incredible.
HOW BUSINESS CÂN, BE DONE. Direct trailing is manufactured goods with Russia at the present time inust be done through the co-operatives, through the Department of Foreign Trale in Moscow, or through the municipalities of some of the great cities. This undoubtedly binders business and great efforts are being made to restore free trade in manufactured goods.
One large section of the Communists, backed by Mr. Krassin, strongly opposes this change, but I found everywhere in Russia the belief that the change" would takes place, and that free trade, or much freer trade, is bound shortly to come.
