Surely the t'.r.-t good thing that
has i-omt out ot the Great War In
Europe i- the revolt in Russia; and
whether it is put down or whether ,
it is ultimately the means of a re
generated Russia, builded upon an
extension of democracy, it is a sign
of the best for the future.
The government of Russia has
been an unadulterated evil. It
would be hard to imagine a com
jdete social disintegration which
would have been as productive in
certain misery for the masses as has
beet, such a governmental organua- ;
tion as prevailed in Russia.
Russia has been a compound ot
hurt au«-rai y and theocracy. The
power of the Orthodox church has
h»-en hardly s*-< oml to that of the
i at rs of Grand Duk* s and aristo
cratic parasites who were Interested
in maintaining a despotism ot
whi- it thf Tzar was in a great way
merely a figurehead.
The tyrannies of the Holy Synoc
were seari ••!>• less oppressive than
the \a< ions of the hereditary
chiefs that surround the Tzar. an’,
"•hat progress Russia It's made, has
1 eeti made in spite of the most un
tot* .rd ■ reumstances.
Russia has usually been cons’dt r
vd the most backward of the na
tions. It is more truly described as
the country which never had a
chance. Serfdom was prolonged
tong after it was abolished in other
countries, and even today there ex
ists in man" districts a semi-feudal
condition which finds its counterpart
only in quite another era in other
countries.
It is commonly agreed that the
progress of a nation Is to be guag
(I i the industrial development
,her* within, and it is safe to say
• it Russia’s industrial development
1 !:- • in hind tie- industrial d*
., lopmen; . 1... r.v t .rize.i England as
far hack as the beginning of the
Nit.etc. nth Gent ury.
Vet it is remarkable that in
.science. in art and in literature
Russia has given the European con
tinent names as great as any. iam
..us physicists, zoologists, chemists,
and above all. mathematicians have
tome out ot this -t range country
while its literary lights have been
burning almost throughout a cen
tury in unequalled modern brillt
ant y.
The wealth of Russia, that is the
natural resources in almost all pro
ductive lines, is above that of any
other nation in the world, its mi
neral deposits are enormous. Its
fprr.ct, are the equal ot the I nited
States in quality and ntueli more
. xtensive. Throughout Russia ana
Siberia tliere is a wheat belt whiell
can not fiml its equal the world ovi r
e\, ,.pt possibly it. central Canada.
Its oil wells are not ronflned to
otitiiern Kttrope although conrpe*
teiit Ameriean experts have de
• lar.il that host Caspian wells are
inexhaustible, even if the grade is
lower than that of the Pennsylvania
fields.
Its industrial future then, given
ordinary opportunity for develop
ment, is certain. Rut it can only
he hampered by its present system
of government.
If compared to the United States
Congress, as a law making body the
German Reichstag is a joke, the
Russian Duma compared with the
Reichstag was merely a debating
society. Any time ilia; the members
•evinced a disposition to run counter
to the imperial wishes of the bureau
crats they brought down obloquy
upon themselves and disaster upan
ihe Duma.
Yet it has been apparent to any
person that the power of the Duma
was stealthily growing. Unconsci
ously the people insisted upon giv
ing it a real power which it was no
intention of the bureaucrats it
should posses. And it became espe
cially dangerous to the bureaucracy
in that it formed the nucleus around
which the wild vortex of the nation
a l ;t!Ju;5. ambitions. hopes anti aspi
rations could center and solidify,
from the uncertain nebula that de
veloped in the chaos that involved
everything below the bureaucrats.
The Slav is the oldest European
race. It peopled Germany before
the Germans and it has never lost
its attachment to the soil. Commu
nal life persisted long in the Rus
sian social life because the com
munity feeling was bred in the bone
of its social existence. Patience,
i i; sticism. finding expression in
deeply religious moods, and a tenaci
ous nationalism which hardly suc
cumbed to the internationalism that
evolved from the nihilistic teaching
of the unselfish revolutionists whose
.-■acrii.ee is marking different periods
of Russian history with bloody
■ lath thes ar the virtue s ol
tin- Slav.
Tii.- faults which have been laid
at tli<- door of Russia have not been
Ru-sian faults. They have been the
faults of the Holy Synod or the
Germanist Bureaucracy. The peo
ple of Russia even in moments ot
wild eyed patriotism never posed as
, tii. bear that walked like a man.
But just as other countries identi
fy Americans with the ac tivities o'
Wall Street, and from the guilt ct
' one account the criminality 01 u
: — as Aeneas judged the Greeks, s,
.the ruling classes in every count’y
ar- those whose actions are judged
as the actions of the people. Hence
it is that few nations understand
Americans if they judged Americans
alone by the plunderbund of Wall
.Street. it is absolutely impossible
tci properly appraise the British by
‘the antes of the jingoistic impe-i.iT
isrs. and so it c annot tie right to et
tempt to judge Russians by the
crimes - th bureau* racy.
Alum ; -til nations are akin. Tii -r
ir- very few belt r than the oth-i.
Arid as human beings they respond
to-identic-al stimuli in identical ways
pi'-asc-d when their sensations arc
sura Me: elevated in mind and
| deed when their inspiration is lofty
and noble; pained when the seneos
.■re hurt.
The bureaucrats in Russia hate
been engaged in compelling one ot
the greatest nations and one of the
greatest races to reduce all its
forces towards the end of their en
richment. their aggrandizement.
| their increased pomp and power
Graft, boodling. corruption and op
I pression went hand in hand. In the
' piping times of peace when the*
army had no other purpose than
10 suppress, all was well and the
I bureaucrats fattened upon the mise
! ry of the people.
In war time, and especially a war
j which had no victories, hut which
put every available resource of the
bureaucrats to the test and found
■ •ach and everyone wanting, it was
.another matter. The strongest feei
ng of the Russian is that national
; ism of tlie Slav to which reference
: has been made. They took it with
them from the banks of the Kibe,
a 1:d it was part of tlielr imped!
mi ;;ta as they were driven by sue
ecssive Teutons across the Vistula
and across the Nieman. It was the
vestal fire that under no circum
j stances has been extinguished and
| which at any time was liable to
. burst into a flame would scorch the
! land.
Patience and sell sacrifice is na
i tural to the Slav; it Is the higher
type of mind which in such exalted
altruism finds the true egoism;
which sees in mutual aid the
strongest means of individual help.
Hence it is. that the first good thing
out of this wholly evil war is that
the Slav should find himself. That
he should confront the power that
has weighed him down like the Old
Man from the Sea these centuries
and turn against it and prepare to
rend it, is one of the most fortunate
signs of the times.
Now if every nation would purge
itself as Russia is preparing to
purge, itself, there is indeed hope tor
a better world.
