SOVIET RULE.

POSITION IN BRITAIN. ATTITT7J>B QfUJaBOTJR PARTY. Amo% the visitors to Wellington at present *Mrf A.G. Cameron, who last ?k aiL^ .chairman of the executive of S e + ?"S?h .L? bou.r Party, and has conte to^the Dommian ln connection with the ! wHStfiS? Amal^^ Society of "The British Labour Party " say* Th« sjstem for Great Britain. Indeed, it is not considered that the introduction of such, a system is necessary to a country ■XiM? T£- That does Lt meSi ?hat trom developing her own system of government, , as, «after all, it is the majonty of the people who eventually decide how they shall be governed.7 Inere is no doubt about Russia's position to-day. Even those men and women who were opposed to and fought against the Sonet regime to-day Ire prepared to give thoir all towards firmly establishing the order of society which has been established for over four years because a serioxts attempt ha/been vol^ p tl}6 dV r6efcion °* educating ■? ? gr SSl^ In the °°urse of the next decade there will not be more than 10 per oent. to class as illiterate, whereas previous to the revolution well over iff 1" nt>- -were m that category. , Another important reason why men and women of all shades of opinion in Russia are supporting the present, government is because they do not desire to experience another revolution ihey know what_obtains to-day and they understand to a great extent the likely^development of the present system, but were they to succeed in overthrowing the Soviet system they would again go through all the horrors and misery which they have experienced since 1917, consequently they are looking upon the position of their country quite philosophically, and are determined to make the best of it as it is In my opinion Russia will certainly eventually become a country where at least the great majority will be able to enjoy life, and that will be vastly different from the conditions which obtained under Tsardom."
