BOLSHEVISM EXPOSED.
REIGN OF PERSECUTION.
DEMOCRACY TRAMPLED DOWN
(Received 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 4
Russian delegate Baihaloff, addressing a Social Democratic Federation gathering at Manchester, scathingly exposed the results of Bolshevism. He declared that 55 per cent of the workers were unemployed. Wages were low and the cost of living- high. Another famine was threatened and housing and sanitary conditions were horrible. Education was decreasing. The words of Tolstoi and other great writers was banned. Only Communist literature was allowed in the libraries. The Soviet was trampling underfoot the principles of socialism and democracy and was bitterly persecuting the Socialists, of whom 50,000 had been imprisoned and 200,000 exiled, while an enormous number of executions had been carried out on charges of espionage. These were chiefly intellectuals, business men and workers.— Sun.
