Will Britain Stand Alone

To the Editor of the "Nonrn-Cuina Darcy News"

Sir read with much interest and pleasure your last leader, but I should like to comment some of Your statements, which being quite true, are, froma certain point of view, not quite according to some B facts, At the beginning of your leader you say, "One of the reasons for China's present difficult position is the tricky diplomacy of the Manchus. Their effort to play off one foreigner against the other and their entering into secret arrange ments with various foreign nations ed to the division of China into spheres of influences and almost. resulted in a partition of Chnia among other motions." I cannot, understand how you can lay. the blame on the Manchu rulers for the present haver. So long. China was a monarchy under Manchus, the general conditions of fife here have been much better and the rights of natives and foreigners much better guarded as it is presently by this brilliant and democratic Government of New China.

Further you say: "Our quarrel with the Beast that has come out of the dark forests of Russia to disrupt and corrupt the civilization of the Universe"! Allow me, dear Sir, to correct such an un wai ranted slander on my poor coun: try. Bolshevism is absolutely un-Russian in its source and has not been born in our beautiful country. The Socialism-Maximalism 'Usually named Bolshevism is a pure product of the West, and, if come from anywhere, it come from Gi many, the birthplace of two promiment' Jewish socialists, Marx. and Lassall.. These two gentlemen are the true inventors of class hatred and world revolution. Russia is presently a mere tod in hands of the Bolsh The great Slavic country en conquered in 1917 by the IIT International headed by Messrs. Bronstein (Trotzky), Nahamkess (Steklov), Tzederbaum (Martov) Apfelbaum (Zinoviev), Rosenfeld (Kamenev), ete. 1 can, send you a list of 500 prominent Bolsheviks officials of the U. S. 8. of which only seven are Russians by nationality. This list is so well known that I do not see any use to reproduce it here. If you find Rus sian nationals in governmental office, they all are in subaltern positions and can only execute the orders of their master the III International, which is the real power behind the U.S. S.R. I take this opportu nity to protest against the unadequate use of the Russian name in connection with facts concerning the U.S. SR. For all Joyal Russians aways painful to read "Russian Propaganda," "Russian Government," "Russin Agent," ete, where really is in cause only the IIf International—the bitter enemy of Naional Russia. The international gang controlling presently the former Russian Empire have themselves discarded the old name of Russia. Until better time it is no more "Russia" but the "Union of Sovietic Socialistie Republics." Here in Shanghai are many loyal Russians to whom the name of Rus-ria is still dear, and I venture to sey that many of them would gladly join my protest to the mis-ure of this name.

You also say that "Against this @readful plague (Bolshevism) the civilized world must stand united" and, further, "We (Britons?) dre Aghting a Bolshevism born in 1917, still only a vicious and noisy child, immature and arrogant." Well, dear Sir, we Russians are very glad to read such words in British paper, but we must state that we are afraid that Britain has been little long to understand the jongers of Bolshevism, notwithstanding our many warnings since 4917; Lloyd George, in his eapacity of Premier of the British Empire was of a different opinion; England was the first of our former allies to recognize the Bolshe-vis Government as a legal one; ish and other statesmen shook hands with the representatives of the murderers of the proper cousin of the King of England and signed agreement after agreement. with the emissaries of the III Interna tional, bent on the upbringing of revolt But we Russi 19 have a good say= 2 "Never remember the old wrongs." I'am sure that all loyal Russians and their friends will Ereatly rejoice to the fact that the mighty British Empire recognize at lest all the danger Christianity, The U.S. 8. R,, is only strong by the absence of "unity between the Western Powers.. If all civilized Powers will really unite wes inst bolshevism, the present rulers of Russia will' soon fade away and law and order will be restored to. the people who once more saved Western civilization by his own horrible sufferings.
