The Tsar Press used to be very solicitous of public opinion abroad and would make many a sacrifice in order to save its face. The Soviet Press, on the contrary, openly defies, ridicules and attacks foreign public opinions and even dis laings te allow that foreigners should ever possess ideas on Russian affairs. It even goes further than this; it publishes and supplies literature abroad booming Leninism in the languages of the various countries where the Press is free yet it denies its own population the right to express its opinions through a free Press in its own country.
Rut, of course, revolution still continues to exist in Russia and danger is threatening her from outside so naturally at the present moment, more than at any other time during the period of her Revolution, the flame of the Soviet policy,—the one idea,—socialism_ versus capitalism has to be maintained at all costs, especially through her unique Press.
A country however cannot exist on a single idea during times of Peace and as no national State can be founded on the policy of hatred, it follows that when Europe will ihave settled down, Russia will doubtless then give the other side of her population a chance to voice its opinions through the medium of a Free Press.
