DAY BY DAY.
One of the greatest blunders in German statesmanship during Britain the Great War was the and failure to control the 80lRussla slieviks. , Berlin facilitated the early activities of Lenin and Trotsky in order to weaken the Czardom, but failed to realise the significance and the scope of the revolution. There was a moment in the great drama when German intervention could have caught and dominated the great realm which was slipping out of the hands of the unlucky Romanoffs. What the Hohenzollerns failed to do is now being attempted, so far as economic affairs are concerned by the Germany of to-day. Bolshevism has patently failed, and where it has failed most emphatically, in the field of economic- efficiency, Germany is remarkably strong. The commercial war for Russian trade interests all the nations, and there is much to be said for the London Daily Chronicle’s appeal that Britain should accept Stalin’s offer to make a trade agreement as satisfactory as that which Russia had made with Germany. This is the “war after the war,” and Britain should be promptly “over the top."
