LONDON, ,30th April,
Lenin, on being ■ interviewed, said he is seeking to annihilate the power of money in the world. To this end hundreds o£ thousands of rouble notes were being issued daily by the Bolshevik Treasury, with the deliberate intention of destroying the value of money. "As it is impossible," he said, "to root out capitalism by confiscation, we are flooding the country with notes without financial guarantees of any sort." Lenin is also entertaining vast agricultural schemes, under the influence of Confucius, whom he is studying, based upon the manufacture of a great quantity of scientific agricultural machinei-y and implements, with, which he intends to develop Russian resources with the utmost rapidity.
