THE RUSSIAN UTOPIA.

TO THE EDITOS. Sir, —With your kind permission, a few words as te a letter in your columns last week signed As no natural Englishman would hare bracketed a common assassin with men like Lloyd George and Eon. Downie Stewart, giving Lenin first place, the writer is certainly a foreigner whose views are drawn from sources subsidised by the only grinding autocracv in tho world. Freedom of the Press, right of piiblio meeting—in fact, every privilege accorded trade unionists under the British Flag—have been withdrawn from Russian industrialists, and a ruthless form of conscripted labor substituted. Tho ox-Socialist Lenin, who held up both hands at an international conference when voting for the abolition of capital punishment,' immediately ho secured power with the assistance of Germany had tho Russian workers shot down and murdered by Chinese aifd Lettish troops—hired mercenaries, and he and tho little “bounder” who has changed his name to Trotsky have glorified militarism to a degree; in fact, the latter, in control of the “Rod array,” is unceasing in insults to all and sundry, coupled with threats of immediate military activity. My opinion is Drat were “M.S.” sentenced to spend the next fifteen years in Russia he would preferably commit suicide.—l am, eta, Rex. November 23.
