POWER OF MONEY.

CRUSADE OF LENIN. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Rec. May 3, 11.35) LONDON, April 30. A Geneva message states that Lenin, interviewed, said he is seeking to annihilate the power of money in the world. Hence 100,000 rouble notes are issued daily from the Bolshevik Treasury with the deliberate intention of destroying the value of money, as it is impossible to root out Capitalism by confiscation. "We are flooding the country with notes without financial guarantees of any sort," he said. ; ■■ Lenin is also entertaining vast agricultural schemes, based on the manufacture of a great quantity of scientific agricultural machinery' and implements, with which he intends to develop Russian resources with the utmost rapidity.
