SOVIET AND TOWN MEETING
moat of us the term "Soviet government" sug
gests the sort of thing that they are having la Bussia.
•Ad which most of us do not wont. We are apt to dis
regard the original meaning of the word, and to give it
a meaning consistent with the thing with which It la
most recently and conspicuously associated. If we search
a short distance back of the developments of recent years
we find that "Soviet" de«s not in Itself mean anarchy, or
tyranny, or bloodshed, or anything else that is reprehen
aJble.
A Soviet, as the term was exclusively understood in
Russia until recently, was an assemblage, a council, a
gathering of representatives. It might be a Soviet of all
or part of the members of a community. It might be a
Soviet of the entire population, or of the farmers, the mer*
chants, the weavers, or what not And a Soviet govern*
Blent is a government composed of representatives chosen
by local groups for the performance of such duties a*
may be entrusted to i(~
Not a few people who have made this discovery have
5 asked why, if this is true, there Is so much opposition
I in this country to Soviet government in Russia, it is
I' pointed out that our own is a Soviet government, begin
I nhig with the town meeting, or something similar to it,
and ending with the delegate bodies which have been
created to carry out the will of the local groups,
c' The answer is that the Russian government is not
a true Soviet government at all and that in so far as it
embodies the principles of the Soviet, it dees so in a man*
ner utterly inconsistent with the principles of free demo
cratlc government.
V-» it is true that in Russia, or in that section of it which
controlled and directed from Moscow, local gatherings
of villagers and dwellers in the cities are held, and that
these elect delegates to more central bodies, and so on,
until the mail} central government is reached. But the
I masses of the Itucsian people who are living under this
I sort of government did not choose it for themselves, nor
are they in control of its operations. The present gov
ernment of the bull! of western Russia is centered in the
hands of a small group of officials who placed themselves
In power, who formulated a system which they ordered
into effect, and who have taken great care that no Tiat
ter what the people down the line might say cr do, the
rule.of the self-apppinted dictators should not be dis
turbsci. The Soviets are permitted to have their way just
.r.'-'so long at they do not run counter to the wishes of the
ruling junta. When there is such a conflict the loeal
body or the recalcitrant delegate speedily brought to
terms or put out of the wsjr by Red guards who are al
w&ye conveniently on the Job. The rulers of Russia to
day are not the people of Russia, but Licnine, TroUky.
associates. ,•
The MO£CO-.V e^-Etem Is a flat violation of everything
characteristic cf democracy in that even if its authority
were actually vested in the mass of its jnembers, those
members constitute only a part of the population and
aavc taken it-tjpon themselves to deny to all others the
right to auy participation in the control of the govern
ment. Vague and shadowy as is the actual power wield
ed by the members of tile Soviet, that power, or its earn*
l.lance, usurped, and thpee who think that they are
**erci3ing it are in fact practicing tyranny over cthsir
neighbors. Certain peasants, mechanics and others have
decided, or have acquiesced ia the decision made for
them toy Lenine, that they, and they only, shall be-per
mitted to enjoy the privilege of membership in any of the
loeal Soviets and to vote on any matter of public interest.
Suppose that the members of any one of the numer
ous fraternal order*—it matters not which—should de
to run this country themselves. L,et them ex
clude all other persons from their deliberations and from
participation in their actions. Let them choose their own
delegates in their own way to central gatherings. Let
them seise the government machinery by force and fill
^'Aall the offices with persons of their own choosing. That
would be a fair parallel to the "popular" government
if0 that Russia now experiences, except that while the Rus
sian Soviets actually exist, and arbitrarily exclude a very
large share of the population, they themselves are sub
jfs^Jeet to the whims of the real authorities, Lenine-et a).
The American (system is based on the equal partici
pation of an citisene in the work of government. The
Russian system is a denial of this equality, and is utterly
illogical and wrong because it substitutes for e}tij^n$hlp
something entirely different.

THE SPOTS REMAIN
Sana time ago in commenting on the nettvtttoa of
WUUua Foster, the engineer of th« pr spent steel stride.
The Hlfrald remarked that it was difficult for thsjtoopara
to change his spots. The occasion was the reference made
to son* of the views which had been expressed by Sir
Foster is a pamphlet published by him! and widely cir
culated as a textbook among his followers. The views
therein presented were identical with the moat extreme
that are to be found among the Russian Bolshevik and
the American'I. W. w.s. Mr. Foster, being questioned la
regard to this pamphlet by a congressional committee,
was reluctant either to admit or deny that he now eater*
talned these views, hut be did go so far as to eberacterlge
the subject matter of the pamphlet as "old stuff which
he had not seen for several years. His implication was
that he had abandoned bis more extreme views. This
implication was supported by Mr. Gompers when in a
later statement he said that Foster did not now entertain
the extrem cviews of bis more youthful days.
It Is not necessary to go back to old stuff to find out
what views Mr. Foster enter taJa^ today, they are set
forth la a new pamphlet issued quite recently and also
Quite widely circulated. In this pamphlet the writer de
scribes the conditions which are to exist in the "new so
cial order to follow our era of exploitation and wage,sla
very." The following paragraphs aet forth some of the
writer's views on the subject:
With this great fores at command the trade
unions, by the simple continuance of their present a»d
unchangeable policy of taking from their oppressors
all they can get, would naturally abolish the infamous
.wage system and take such other steps as were neces
sary to inaugurate the long looked for era of Indus*
trial freedom.
Vnder the new order government, such as we
know it, would gradually disappear, in an era of
science and justice this makeshift institution, having
lost its usefulness, would shrivel and die.
The industries now in the bands of national, state
and municipal governments would be given over com
pletely into the care of the workers engaged in them.
Little or no excise would exist for government.
What few extraordinary occasions arose fbr legislative
action to arrive at soma sort oi solution could be
handled by the trade unions.
This is the economic and social philosophy of williapi
Z. Foster at the present time. It 1m# not changed mate
rially in ten years. He still regards the conditions exist
ing between employers and emplopes as one of warfare
in which the latter shall get what he" can with the view
of destruction of the entire "wage system. Evidently the
leopard has not changed hi* spots.
CO-OPERATION IN AMERICA
Co-operation, as we have become familiar with it ia
some of the European countries, notably England, and in
the Scandinavian countries, has not flourished well in the
United gtates. Abroad the system appears to have work
ed satisfactorily. Under it, large business enterprises
have been built up. and have been conducted with appar
ent success, and the people interested in them appear to
be satisfied with their operation. The history ef the move*
meet across the water hM been one of steady progress
Perhaps the only conspicuous success that has been at
tained ia among the Mormons of Utah. They built up
large enterprises, conducted them successfully, and were
apparently well satisfied with the resulta la almost all
other casesi such co-operative associations in this country
have languished after a brief period of activity, and hun
dred?, of them have died a natural death. They have not
dropped out because ef unfavorable legislation or becavee
of any other external conditions which contain even a
hint of force or duress. The American people as a rule
have not gone far along this road apparently for the sole
reason that they did not enjoy that method'of travel.
The fact, however, that the spirit of co-operation has
not expressed itself ia this country in exactly the same
manner in which it has been given expression abroad,
does not indicate that there has been no co-operation. The
very contrary is true, but in this country co-operative
movements which have attained success have almost al
ways taken on the tons} of regular corporate enterprisea.
We have had abundant illustrations of this tendency jn
the handling of the elevators in the northwest. Sttme ele
vators have been established on a strictly co-operative
basis according to the European method, but in fqw in
stances has that method bees retained long. The farmery
ef a neighborhood who have aasoflieted themselves ae a
co-operative society for the operation ef an elevator have
usually changed their form of organisation before long,
and created an elevator corporation in which they became
stockholders in the jam* manner pursued by bosinew men
in all lines in conducting corporate enterprise*- While the
success of these corporations has not been universal, they
have been moders4e successful, assay of them remarkably
ft* reasons why Americans prefer a different fom
ef co-operation to that favored ia Europe are pot entirely
clear. The fact is, aeoording to the record, that they-do
prefer it. and the prespeet is that because the eorpersJte
form harmonises more with their preferences thoee enter,
prises stead the best chaaee of success w^ich are organ
ised in this manner- It is needless to say t£tt there arc
no legal or business obstaeiss ia &e of people brgaa*
Uing for eo'opsraUop on any basis that they myy choose.
