little interest here because, as in Britain, the world problem is now, seen to be Russia.

The reported decision of European Labour Parties, includ-. ing the British, to demonstrate -on Sunday, July 20, is mentioned in the American Press but with- out emphasis, partly because Britain, which matters most, has a way of compromising at the last minute, and partly because. with millions of Eastern Euro- paans living here, the topic contains metaphorical dynamite.

While Washington stages severely diplomatic parade of 43 nations, it is significant that in New York no attempt is made to repeat last year's great popular pageant Instinctively people feel that, whereas Germany is beaten. democracy has not "yet! won. The possibility of disorders is one factor. More serious is the knowledge that no inter- national display can be arranged on a large scale without re cognising Ireland as a nation and Bolshevism in Russia as an organised State.

Between British and Amexican Labour there is a wide divergence, but not in respect of military service in Russia, which is as unpopular here as in England. Recent difficult es at Archangel among American troops brought home show the position. *As to interpretations of the Russian outlook many views continue to be expressed.

DOW

Extreme Socialism dismisses the reports of Bolshevist cruelty! and intrigue as mere capitalist slander, but on this point the overwhelming verdict of public opinion is that Lenin and Trotzky must be condemned as mischief- makers in Russia and here also.

LENIN OR KOLTCHAK? This is not saying that Ameri- can troops should be sent to fight Bolshevism. Every day brings news of fresh irritation in Mexico. but the United States does not intervenu. Also, Koltchak as an alternative to Lenin has to be .considered.
