New Soviet Idea Class Hatred Says
Noted Dr. Harper
What is the precise principle of the
Soviet at the present time, and what
dees it differ in Russia and Germany.
Have the intrigues and the tyran
nies of the Bolsheviki wrought any
change in the Soviet idea Itself. Was
the Russian Soviet organized as a
means of class domination. What has
been the spirit behind its establish
ment in Germany. Does it still hold
the confidence of the Russian masses.
Dr. Samuel N. Harper, Assistant Pro
fessor of Russian Language and In
stiutions in ttie University of Chic
cigo. wh-_ i-.as been making a special
| s.l. :; jf Russia since 1904, and was
there during the ea.ly months of the
revolution and has kept in constant
touch with Russian affairs since his
returne, was asked these questions two
; days ago. This matter o fthe Soviet
is very important, he declares, for
■ toisnevism in ttussia nas fallen in
what has been from the beginning its
I ostensible object—tic betterment of
jifa and circumstance for the work
man and peasant. Woven in with its
'.failure, as not the least of Its crimes,
is what it has done to the idea of the
Soviet in Russia. With that is nedes
sarily connected the status and prin
I ciple of the Soviet in Germany.
Big Change In Russia
‘•The Soviet in Russia has passed
through a decided change since its in
ception of the early days of the revo
lution.” Professor Harper said. “It
was originally democratic, co-opera
tive. It has been perverted from its
original function by the efforts of this
small and energetic group, the Bol
sneviki, wno nave cnangea it froi..
an agent of national co-operation to
something to be used by them as ar
instrument in their class war. It i!
evident that it is now discredited bj
the workment themselves. But ii
Germany, I should judge that the So
. viet had been Bolshevist in spirit
from the beginning. So far as one can
j tell, it appears that the Soviet there
hjs been started at the point to which
■ *lie Bolshevist have brought it in Rus
I sia—the point, that is, not of co-cp
eration, but of class antagonism and
i class rule.
"Authoritative judgment or xne
i Dresent condition in Germany I do not
j feel qualified to express; I do not
I think that any one here can speak au
i ‘horitatively of such a hit-or-miss sit
• nation as that appears to be, with such
; quickly changing and contradictory
j news. Cut from the reports that
j reach us it seems evident that the So
viet in Germany is very like what the
Folsheviki have made of it in Russia
—and therefore very different from
the original Russian idea of the So
viet.
! "| believe that in Germany the
spirit of the Soviets has always been
Bolshevist. I can see no signs that the
j German Soviet has ever expresstd the
i original Russian idea. The German
Spartacans have been opposed all a
; long to the calling of a Constituent
Assembly. Where the Russian Bol
sheviki first urged and then opposed
: the Constituent Assembly, the Ger
; man Spartacans have consistently
fought the assembly idea and called
| for the dictatorship of the proletariat,
j We must remember that conditions in
regard to an election in Germany are
i very different from those that obtain
ed in Russia. Because the German peo
rle had had so much more political
life, it was possible to hold a Constit
■ ent Assembly a few months after
the revolution. In Russia such im
mediate action was impossible. Elect
ion lists nad to be got ready and
ouier elementary preparations made,
i "In those early days in Russia the
i ropearance cf the Soviet was some
j v/hat to be heartily welcomed by the
Provisional Government. Now, just
! what was that Soviet idea! What did
it promise.
"The original, the real Soviet prin
dole represented the direct participa
tion of the peasants, workmen, and
soldiers in public life for the deter
mination cf the new order for the
country. In it the first provisional gov
trnment recognizes an organization 01
peasants, workmen and soldiers tha1
would bring the more democratic ele
ments throughout the country intc
the task of reorganizing the nation a!
ernment recognizes an organization ol
rnd make certain their interest anc
co-operation.
"One member of the provisional gov
t9r the revolution, and would arouse
worried about the success of the re
Uition until the Soviet emerged; h<
did net fee! sure that the new govern
could get the cyj-operation of the
workmen, peasants and soldiers anc
when the Soviets were first formed he
f;!t that here was the assurance o1
cooperation that would make the revc
lution truly national.. That was whai
the men who assumed the government
when the revolution came wanted it
| to be of course Also, the revolution
j was not purely political, it was a mass
| awakening, the protest of the mass of
Russia. In the Soviets, as this member
of the government explained to me. he
saw the channels through which the
masses of the people would express
j themselves and organize.
. "It must be remembered, moreover,
that the Soviets like the provisional
government itself, were not intended
i to function politically after the elect
j ion of the Constituent Assembly. A
■ good many poople felt that after the
new democratic National Govern
ment—tne permanent Government—
* had been formed, the Soviets might
j continue as economic bodies, such as
the trade unions, or as economic or
ganizations with political significance,
i as a Peasant Party or Labor Party.
But the original Soviet idea was not
one of permanent political organiza
tion or power—most emphatically not
of the sole power, exercising a dic
tatorship.
"In the beginning, therefore, the
Scviet was not Bolshevist in spirit—
that is, it did not represent class war.
In the beginning it was in itself an
expression of the co-operation of all
classes toward a common objective—
which is the very antithesis cf the
Bolshevist idea.
Class reeling Arousea
“Eut very soon after the first revo
lution, the small, energetic minority
(Troon of the Bolsheviki set to work
deliberately and consistently to stir
up class feeling in the Soviet, and
through the Soviet in the mass of the
Russian people. They set to work to
fight co-operation, to institute what
they called a social revolution—that
l is to say, a class struggle. It took
them nine months 'of the most ener
getic and unscrupulous propaganda to
do this. By unscrupulous I mean to
say that they very subtly mis repre
sented the aim of the Provisional Gov
ernment. They also took advantage of
the acute economic distress, and made
imaginative promises to the people. By
stirring up class antagonism they de
feated the efforts of the Provisional
Government to solve the ceonomic pro
blems with which it was faced.
‘•The Bolsheviki now insist that
they were responding simply to the ex
| isting sentiment in the masses of the
oeople. that they were not stirring up
. feeling, but simply meeting it. That
has been the alibi they have used.
The answer to that is easilly found in
a study cf the Bolshevist speeches in
the Soviets, their articles in the
newspapers, and the literature that
they pread all over the country, es
oecially among the soldiers. There is
no question that the Soviet idea had
“reat influence, an there is no ques
tion that the Bolsheviki perverted it.
There are people, I new, who think
that the Soviet was Bolshevist in
soirit from the beginning, but I do not
consider that that was the case.
“Those of us who were following
the revolution as students felt that the
Soviet idea was perhaps its biggest
