Peking, Aug. 31.
The results of the communists' experiment in Russia to date are the complete demoralization of every phase of, Russian life at home and the complete loss of Russian credit and prestige abroad. The writer does not refer to loss of financial credit, but to loss of moral credit, While the masses of the Russian people at home, including the members of the industrial proletariat who were to have ruled all, find their lives governed by hunger and terror and their motives in life shaped by these primordial forces, the masses of all nationalities abroad have been slowly, and in some cases reluctantly, convinced that the Bolshevist regime has deliberately adopted bad faith as its policy in diplomacy and misrepresentation of facts as its propaganda policy. To promote solidarity within their ranks at home the Bolshevist agent returned from abroad boasts in public print and in bombastic speeches of the lies he has told abroad or of the agreements which he has signed with the idea of breaking them. The propagandist cheerfully insults the intelligence of his readers abroad by inventing fictions which the communist organs of Moscow and Petrograd contradict in their daily issues.
