The celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the Russian Revolution, was attended by just such type of demonstration with which the history of the past few years has served to mike the world perfectly accustomed. Its size and the enthusiasm of participants is no more significant then it has been in the past, nor are the speeches of the leaders which follow well established precedent. The anniversary has been the occasion of a huge military display for years past, and the fact thet an extra larger one was staged immediately following Italian adhesion to the German-Japan Anti-Comintern Pact may in all probability have no particular bearing upon the situation which has now been reached. M. Voroshilov's speech on the other hand, While not necessarily provocative, affords an opportunity for empha ing that much of what has happened and is happening in the world to-day is due to the determined efforts of the Third Internationale to spread the doctrine of Bolshevism throughout the world. Responsibility for the acts of the Third Internationale Moscow hss consistently sought to disclaim, but the fact remains that had Russia been concerned solely with her own revolution, and refrained from fathering an attempt io make it world wide, the cleavage of the world into ideological groups would not have taken place ¿nd the assumption of holy missions would have been rendered unnecessary. It is perhaps just as well that this fact should be continually borne in mind, for while much that is happening in the world gives reason for the gravest anxiety, it may be necessary one of these days to point rather to cause than to the present distressing effects.
