THE RED MENAGE

LENIN'S DESIGNS ON LONDON

THE BOLSHEVIK CANCER.

„ "If Lenin and Trotsky have their way> Red Guards will be in Trafalgar-square, and the Bolsheviks will proceed to loot and devastate the Metropolis prior to marching to the northern industrial centres." This is no wild, random statement by an anti-Bolshevik, says the Sunday Chronicle. It represents literally the deliberate policy of Lenin, who is staking his all on. the chance of spreading Bolshevism in Britain. Even while these lines are being written, evidence is coming to London of Bolshevik designs on this country. _ A short while back Lenin was discussing with a neutral the terrible position in Russia. In reply to a statement that the Russians would not much longer endure the tyranny of the Red Guards, Lenin smiled, and, shrugging his shoulders, said : "Nichero (it does not matter). Before the flame of Bolshevism burns out in Russia it will kindle the torch in every other country in Europe. This will serve to keep the flame alight in Russia."

To confirm this statement of Lenin's policy, evidence has been received from trustworthy sources that the Bolsheviks have already spent more than £5,000,000 in stirring' up trouble in Ireland, The Germans were fairly industrious in propaganda, • and until the Allied troops showed the stuff they were made of, succeeded in doping neutrals with what they wanted therh to believe. But the last twelve months has shown that the ■Bolsheviks have forgotten more than the Kaiser's horde ever knew of subtle propaganda and revolutionary intrigue. On Ist March Sinovief, the head of the 'Petrograd Soviet and one of Lenin's closest friends, addressing the Eevolti* tionary Committee, outlined Lenin's hopes. "Ouv heroic Bed Army," he said, "is destined not only to fight here in Russia* but also in the streets and squares of London, Paris, and Rome, for the great ideal of Communism. We find ourselves to-day in direct communication with the German Spartacists, and soon our actions will be co-ordinated." THE ULCER OF EUROPE. Information from reliable sources enables the Sunday Chronicle to reveal for the first time what these Bolshevik actions are. It will serve to impress oil all. the seriousness of the Bolshevik ulcer which threatens to corrupt the whole of Europe. Ever, since Brest Litovsk the Bolsheviks have been concentrating their energies on infecting Germany and Austria with the virus .of anarchy. Leaflets were seditiously distributed among the Hun troops, while agitators were smuggled over the frontier, and, seeking employment in munition and other factories, speedily began to preach their gospel. Their doctrine is that the whole of society as it exists at present must be destroyed; religion, marriage, the home, the State, private property, education— all must be broken down before the Bol-shevik-anarchist commune can be built up. Probably the argument that appealed most to the Hun was that it is foolish to work when it is so much easier to despoil the rich. Anyway, it is abundantly clear that the German Spartacus movement was founded, engineered, and | financed by Lenin.

And here it might be well to point out what is not generally known. It is that Lenin has at his disposal hundreds of millions of pounds, ready cash, for the purpose' of propaganda in foreign countries.

This money he obtained when the Bolsheviks confiscated the, banks through-, out Russia, and though it is true that most of the Bolshie leaders have feathered their nests, the balance of the treasures in the bankers' va,ults is being spent in inspiring anarchy. By Ist March, the foreign propaganda section of the Bolshevik Government in Moscow, of which Trotsky is the head, had expended £30,000,000" on agitation. It is known that Lenin has his agents in Holland, and it is more than surmised that those agents have, time and again, attempted to make their way to England. If Bolshevik spies and agitators have not succeeded, it is not for lack of trying, but owing to the unceasing vigilance of certain special departments of Scotland Yard. THE BLATANT, BOLSHEVIK. , Some idea of what these Bolshevik leaders are like may be gathered from the following authentic and hitherto unpublished extracts of a speech by Sinovief on tho Paris Conference. "Half a dozen representatives of the five chief robber Governments do everything themselves; the rest play the part of dolls. Tho French bourgeois are warlike, because tho water is mounting to their throats. The English and Americans wish to act more cautiously. Nothing is left to these robbers save to attempt now to show tha fox's tail instead of the wolf's teeth.' They have turned to us with an appeal like that of an archpriest, and declare that their only wish is to help the Russian people. Very woll, we tell them in a word that the best form of help is for them to take away their bloody hands and go back" to their own country as quickly as possible."

These extracts serve to indicate the type of man with whom we have to deal. Coarse-minded, foul-mouthed, and steeped in crimes, the Bolshevik leaders ara planning to break np society. To their mind everything is fair if it helps them, and whether it is a political disturbance, in Iroland or labour unrest in England, so long as it brings about disorder and chaos it is useful to the Bolsheviks.

Lonin hates England and tho English more than anybody else, for he realises that this country is a real bulwark of civilisation. He despises the British Labour leaders as being "milksops," and is scathing about evon such advanced men as Ramsay Mac Donald and Snowdon as "not being . sufficiently intellectual." In which latter he may be right. But his real objection to us is that tha Briton, whilo anxious to improve his _ position is not revolutionary, and is tho last person in tho world to dabble with anarchy.- .

For this reason Lenin is anxious to have a cut at England. If ever there wero a period of real unrest, which Heaven forbid, Lenin's emissaries in this country would come out into the open. Nobody imagines for a moment that Lenin's Red Guards could invade this country, but the Bolsheviks ■ are scheming to sow .the seeds of anarchy here, so that when the time is ripe they can, in concert with the German Spartacists, attack England. The danger of the future is a RussoGerman Bolshevik combination. Once this is. realised the world will combine to end Bolshevism.
