It is possible that the recent despatches stating that Lenine was at death's door are exaggerated, but it is quite evident that his power and ability to govern have passed away. What has happened quite recently seems to be a Becond paralytic stroke; his condition is evidently grave, but it is quite possible that he may live for some time, although he will never recover his physical or mental ability. Trotsky also is said to be in very poor physical condition, suffering from an obscure disease which does not yield to medical treatment. What will follow the removal of Lenine, and very likely of Trotsky, from leadership in Russian affairs? The very fact that a number of public men E are named as possible candidates for leadership shows that the turbulent and E unreasonable Russian Government will suffer repeated changes both of personnel and policy. Apparently Stalin is considered to be the logical successor to Lenine, because of his close intimacy with Lenine's policies. Kameneff is nominally acting in Lenine's place, but is said to be lacking in the large qualities of a leader. Others whose names are discussed are Zinovieff, Tchitcherin (the ablest adviser in foreign affairs that Russia has), and Radek, who is also interested in foreign affairs and is a revolutionist rather than a theorist. In no sense is there a representative Government in Russia to-day, nor does one seem likely to come into existence in the present crisis. Lenine has been the theorist, Trotsky the organizer. They have held power through terrorism and fear and because of the lack of any organized way for the people of Russia at large to express their wishes. If there had been a truly representative Soviet Government, one fairly based on local soviets elected by universal' suffrage in their districts, of provincial Soviets composed of delegates from the local soviets, and of a national soviet made up of delegates representing the provinces, then the rest of the world might be perfectly willing that Russia should try out such Socialistic principles and theories as it approved. But MARCH 28, 1923 (C) Keystone NIKOLAI LENINE AT HIS DESK IN THE SOVIET HEADQUARTERS Lenine's theory was not really Socialistic, but rather imperialistic, based on power derived from the army, from secret police, and from soviets which were not at all democratic in their origin. The tendency to modify and Keystone CAPTAIN VON MUELLER, OF THE EMDEN moderate his theories, to which Lenine has yielded, really relates to the rights of property and the practical way of carrying on life rather than to the basis of the autocratic power of Lenine, Trotsky, and their associates. The change that must come from Lenine's death and the reconstitution of the leadership will undoubtedly tend toward further modifications. It is earnestly to be hoped that these may be in the direction of securing representative government, whether it be Socialistic or democratic in its character. . The conduct of Captain von Mueller is in striking contrast with that of those German naval commanders who with their submarines or airplanes sank merchant vessels, turned crews and passengers loose far from land in open boats, knowing that their chance of survival was slight, bombed or attacked hospital ships, and committed other acts illegal and cowardly. The career of the Emden under Captain von Mueller has been compared to that of the Alabama. When war began, the Emden was in the waters of the Far East. The Emden and the Karlsruhe were left behind there by Admiral von Spee when he moved his squadron of cruisers across to South America. These two vessels were detached and ordered to destroy the enemy's commerce. The captain of the Emden showed remarkable skill, courage, and resource in avoiding capture for three months, during which he destroyed about twentyfive enemy vessels; of these two were warships. The Emden was finally destroyed by an Australian cruiser. The Emden's destruction of two warships was a particularly daring feat. It took place in the harbor of Penang; Captain von Mueller (an account written since his death states) "disguised his ship with an extra smoke-stack, flew the Japanese flag, steamed into the harbor past British guns, torpedoed a Russian cruiser and a French destroyer, and escaped unscathed." Captain von Mueller died in Germany on March 12. His exploits and his character have justly been honored. He deserves that honor, and all the more so that his fair behavior stands out in the German conduct of war operations as exceptional. REALITY IN THE RUHR I F Germany has had really any hopes that America or Britain would save her from the consequences of her own refusal to pay reparations, they must have been dashed last week. In the first place, the suggestion from German sources that perhaps some understanding between Germany and France could be brought about by the mediation of a third Power has been so firmly rejected by France in advance of any formal proposal that negotiations to that end were, according to reports, rather abruptly terminated. Then the British Government made it clear that it would not interfere between France and Germany. In spite of the anti-French feeling in England, the British Government would not relish being placed in the position of becoming Germany's ally. And now the United States has taken a more definite attitude that ought to impress upon Germany the hopelessness of gaining American interference. This attitude of America was not expressed in any theoretical statement, but in a decision concerning the bill for the maintenance of the American Army of Occupation on the Rhine. That bill, which amounts to $255,000,000, is chargeable against Germany. Without insisting upon a method of payment that would be embarrassing either to Germany or to the Allies, the United States has apparently made it clear, if unofficial reports can be trusted, that it insists on a percentage of all the reparations hereafter collected from Germany until the amount is paid. The understanding is that America's debt is to be paid in twelve annual installments. This gives the United States a direct, even though minor, interest in the collection of reparations. It is worth noting incidentally that Germany's memorandum which is said to state the German attitude on reparations was deposited as a confidential document in the files at Washington, although the German Government was hoping that the American Government would communicate the contents to France. Inasmuch as Germany is diplomatically represented in Paris, our transmission of Germany's statement to high profits, in the Saar "German laborers are doing well under French superintendence." A third point worth emphasizing 18 the calm recognition of the twofold means by which the Germans have made reparations difficult for the French to get the printing of currency with the resulting inflation, and the sending of immense sums in gold out of the coun try. The only excuse is that they have kept their own factories going. In connection with this statement of these two German leaders we call the reader's attention to the report of conditions in Germany as made in Mr. Stephen Child's letter. WHERE JUSTICE FAILS In 1913 French military expenditure O was over one-third of the Budget; now it is less than one-sixth. TESTIMONY FROM GERMANY UR editorial correspondent in Eupre sents in this issue Germany's case as seen from the point of view of two German authorities, one military, the other industrial. A careful reading of that statement will leave upon the reader, we think, an impression of candor. In that statement there are certain points which we think will bear emphasis. One is that there are Germans who recognize the French desire for security. One might expect Germans to suggest other means of providing for that security if they do not like the means to which France is resorting. Curiously, however, the only thing that these Germans say concerning it is really to confirm the French feeling that security is something that France must provide for now. Instead of showing any desire to assure France of Germany's spirit of peace and prove that spirit by making good what Germany deliberately destroyed, these Germans point out that Germany has only to bide her time and she will have, not only her own resources, but those of Russia, to count on when another day comes. Another point worthy of emphasis is the perhaps unconscious testimony these Germans bear to the course of the French in the occupied territory. They, being responsible men, accuse the French of nothing more violent than disarming and expelling the German policemen who were supplied with pistols, rifles, and machine guns, and at the same time admit that, in contrast to the German laborers in the Ruhr, who have heretofore received low wages from German employers in spite of UR system of juries and grand juries, practical and excellent as it is in general, fails to bring results when a considerable portion of a community is arrayed against the law. This is what has happened in Louisiana and in the Herrin murder trials. Many people were bitter partisans on the criminals' side there is really no question in either case that horrible crimes were committed-and others in the community were terrorized by those who were partisans. The Grand Jury called upon to indict members of the Ku Klux Klan for the murders at Mer Rouge was inconsistent in that it referred in its findings to "a deplorable crime," yet declared that there was no satisfactory evidence that murder had been committed, and ignored other offenses as to the commission of which positive evidence was placed before the "open hearing" and presumably before the Grand Jury. Thus it is perfectly well known and admitted that bands or single persons acting for the Ku Klux Klan carried out floggings, abduotions, and the driv ing of individuals away from their homes under threats of more serious punishment. But, although the attempts to indict any one for causing the death, and perhaps the torture, of the two men, Watt Daniel and T. F. Richards, have failed and the minor charges of assault and deportation have been ignored, the in vestigation of criminal activities of the Ku Klux Klan in Morehouse Parish has not been altogether in vain. High praise should be given to Governor Parker, of Louisiana, and to the Attorney-General and his assistants for exposing the almost unbelievable condition of affairs in this vicinity and for having the courage to make a stand for law and order. The evidence at the open hearing formed a startling demonstration of the evil effects of any at |
