MR NEILSON AND RUSSIA.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Your further footnote to my letter in your issue to-night does not touch the questions you raised in your last one, but flies away back to a cable from Moscow regarding its new passport system and undesirables in Moscow. You also seem to endeavour to create tho impression that they_ have overcome all obstacles in Russia already and that the measure of Socialism they have is the best that can be achieved. This is not stating tho case fairly. What they have achieved, however, is in laying the basic foundation of abolishing private ownership of the tilings essential to man’s existence. This cable, oven if wholly correct (which we will soon get fuller • information about when the Moscow Press arrives) is only dealing with a certain phase of conditions as they manifest themselves, and as Miss Scanlan says; “ When they (in Russia) find a theory does not work they are not too stubborn to refuse to throw it overboard.” —I am, etc., P. Neilson. January 25. [This letter has been reduced.—Ed. E.S.]
