THE SOVIET WAY
J IBERTY rests somewhere between freedom and compulsion. Liberty is preserved by limiting the freedom of the individual by the compulsion of the State and at the same time safeguarding the individual by setting definite limits to which State compulsion may be exercised. To allow individuals to act ' without restraint is anarchy; and to permit the State the use of unlimited power resolves itself into tyranny. The Soviet Government in its exercise of unrestricted power destroys liberty. This'fact is patent to all the world and it did not improve its position by its refusal to appear before the arbitrators in the case of the Lena Goldfields, Ltd. The comment of the Soviet newspaper “Pravda,” that “the trained pigs in the Moscow circus have a similar game’’ better than the arbitrators in the case reveals how lawless the Soviet actually is, no matter how .one philosophises on the matter.
