THE RED MENACE

LENIN'S DESIGNS ON LONDON.

THE BOLSHEVIK GANGER.

7 _ Lenin and Trotsky have their way, Red Guards will be in Trafalgar square, and the Bolshevists will proceed to .loot and devastate the metropolis prior to matching industrial centres." 7\„ no . wild, random statement by an / anti-Bolshevist (says the Sunday Chronicle). It represents literally the deliberate policy of Lenm, who is staking hia all on the chance of spreading Bolshevism in Briton; Ji-ven while these lines are being written evidence is coming to London of Bolshevist designs on this country. A short whilefbacb Lenin vras with a neutral the tenable position in Russia. In reply to a statement thai the Russians would not much longer endure the tyranny, of the Red Guards, ■ Lenin smiled, and, shrugging his shoulders, said; "Nichero (it' does not matter). Before the D f Bolshevism burns out in Russia it will kindle the. torch in every other country in Europe ihjs vnil serve to keep the flame alight in Russia,". To confirm this statement of Lenin's policy evidence has been received from trustworthy sources that the Bolshevists have already spent more than £5,000,000 in stirring up trouble in Ireland. The Germans were fairly industrious in propaganda, and until the Allied troops showed the staff they ■were made of, succeeded in doping neutrals with what they wanted them to believe/ But the_ last 12 months has shown that the Bolshevists have forgotten more than the Kaiser's horde ever knew of subtle propaganda and revolutionary intrigue. On March 1 Sinovief, the; head of the Petrograd- Soviet and one of Lenin's olosest friends, addressing the Revolutionary Committee, outlined Lenin's hopes. " Our heroio Red Army," he said, "is destined not only to fight here .in Russia, but also in tho streets and squares of London, Paris, and Rome, for the great ideal of Oommbnisih.. We find ourselves to-day in direct communication with the German Spartacists, and soon our actions 'will be co-ordinated." THE ULCER OP EUROPE. Information from reliable sources enables the Sunday Chronicle to reveal for the first time what these' Bolshevist actions are. It will serve to impress on all the seriousness of the Bolshevist ulcer which threatens to corrupt the whole of Europe. Ever since Brest-Litovsk the Bolshevists * have been concentrating their energies on infecting Germany and Austria with the vims of anarchy. .Leaflets were seditiously distributed among the Hun troops, while agitators were smuggled oyer the frontier, and, seeking employment in munition ana other factories, speedily began to preach their gospeL Then; doctrine is that the whole of society as it exists at present must be destroyed; religion, marriage, the home the State, private property, education—all must 'be broken down before the 'Bolshevist-. anarchist commune can be built up. Probably the argument that appealed most to die Hun was that it is foolish to work when it is so mnch. easier to despoil the rich. Anyway, it is abundantly clear that the German Spartacus movement was founded, engineered, and financed by Lenin. And here it might be well to point out ; what is not generally known. It is that" Lenin has at his disposal hundreds of millions of pounds, ready cash, for the purpose of propaganda in foreign countries. This money he obtained when the Bolshevists confiscated the banks throughout Russia, and _ though it is true that most of the Bolshie laaders have feathered their nests, the balance of the treasures in the bankers' vaults is being spent in inspiring araichy *

By Ist March, the foreign propaganda section of the Government in Moscow, of which Trotsky is the lead, had expended £30,000,000 on agitation, ' It is known that Lenin has his agents in Holland, andi it is more than surmised that those agents have, time and again, attempted to make their way to England. If Bolshevist spies and agitators have not succeeded, it is not for lack of trying-, but owing to the tmoeasing vigilance of certain special departments of Scotland Yard.' THE BLATANT' BOLSHEVIK: Some idea of what these Bolshevik leaders are like may be gathered from the following authentic and hitherto uiipttblished extracts of a speech by Sin<ma£ or* th« Paris Conference:—

Half _ a dozen representatives of the five chief robber Governments do everything themselves; the rest play the part of dolls. The French bourgeois are warlike. beca»s3 the water is to their throats. The English, and Americans wish to act more cautiously. Nothing is left to those robbers save to attempt now to show the fox's tail instead of the wolfs teeth They have turned to us with an appeal" like that of an archpriest., and declare that their only wish is to help the Russian people. Very well, . we tell them in a word that the best j form of help is for theru to take away their bloody hands apd go back to their own country as' quickly as possible. These extracts serve to indicate tho typo; of man with .whom we have to deal. Cooxsd-minded, fout-mouthed, and steeped in crimss, the Bolshevist leaders are planning to break up society. To their mind, everything is fair if it helps them, and whether it is a political disturbance in Ireland or labour unrest in Ti)ngti*rvJ so long as it brings about disorder andenaoa it is usefal to the Bolshevists. ' '

Lenin hates England and the more, thaD anybody else, far he realises that this country is a real "baJwaai of civilisation. He despises tha British Labour leaders as being " milksops," and is scathing about even such advanced mm as Rarrtsay Mac Donald and Snowden as "not being' sufficiently inteQecfcual." In -which latter ho may bey right. Bat his real objection to us is that the Briton, anxious to improve his position, is not revokitionary, and is the last person in the •world to dabble with anarchy. For this reason Lenin is anxious to have a cut at England.' If ever (hero wero a period of real unrest, ■which Heaven fortrid, Lenin's emissaries in tins ooumtry would come out into tba open. Nobody imagines for a moment that Lenin's Red Guards could irrvade this country, bat the Bolshevists are scheming to sow tho seeds of anardhy hens, so that when the time fa ripe they can, in concert with the German Spaj-tacists, attack England. The danger of the fufcttro is a RnssoGerman Bolshevist combination. Once this is realised the world will combine to end Bolshevism. * ■

—An •ngenious device, which' it is claimed will prove effective and profitable in raising 99 out of every 100 sunken ships, is to be adopted in place of existing methods. It is a combination of a gasbag and an air pump. The "gasbag," or flexible "camel," can _ be used at any depth of water where divers can work, and can be passed, through ports and hatches into the hold of a vessel. It is*'- then inflated, and will fit itself into every corner. Tho air in the "gasbag" displaces the water" and produces the necessarv buoyancy to raise the ship, and the largest at present constructed is built to displace 100 tons.
