Russian Patriot Answered To the Editor of the "Nórtm-CHmwa Dalny News"
Sm,—I would appreciate it very much if you will permit me to occupy some of your, no doubt, precious space in answering RUSSIAN Pamor, writing in to-day' issue.
For God's sake, dear RUSSIAN Pamor, why do you pull down your country when it is already so deep in the mire. Its* leaders may be murdering it, but that does not mean that you should soil it more by writing as you did. I thoroughly sympathize with everything you say—but, when you consider—what good have you done?
On my part, instead of "letting the world know" the miserable conditions in our fatherland, 1 prefer to let my passions fly in a more useful direction. Never forget brother, you are still a Russian,—and, as a Russian, love your country and defend it before others.
Remember that to do some good for your country is a greater aim than to prove to the world the "bankruptcy of the regime."
Arse A Russian PATRIOT.
Shanghai, Mar, 5.
