CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.
COMMUNISM SHRINKING.
HALF-A-DOZEN RULERS. (By Cable.—Prese Association.—CoDyrlgti*..) (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 4. The "Times" special correspondent, describing the condition of Russia, says there is an immense vital force steadily and silently defying fanaticism and rorism. The real Communists are few, and their numbers are shrinking. Even to chow interested pretence of sympathy for Communism is now out of fashion. The correspondent adds that the political bureau or inner circle of the Central Committee of the Communist party is really the governing force in Russia. It consists of about half a dozen men, including Lenin, Trotsky, Zinovief. and Kamenev. The physical strain upon them is more than human nature can bear. If Lenin broke down none of the others would be likely to make a success of the Government. —("Times.")
