Such a thesis, if tediously expounded a la Bolshevik, might indeed cause hurtful boredom. But as the smart and sprightly Count spurs across Europe, tilting at Nationalisms, he conjures much novelty and wisdom from successive countries with the talisman of sly philosophy. And his spurs, as a gentleman's should, wound not half so often as they stimulate...
Nervous and low-voiced, the Dean is under the stigma of having been a Menshevik, not a Bolshevik. That is to say, he once belonged to the "Smaller Group" or "Mensheviki" of the Russian Social Democratic Party. The "Larger Group" or "Bolsheviki" have long since obliterated their rivals, now constitute the Communist Party, and are the political masters of Russia.

He, the dread Nikolai Vassilievich Krylenko, onetime Commander of the Red Army, plays both hero and villain in the Shahkta Trial...
...charge that Feng Yu-hsiang is a "Red" or a "Bolshevik" is palpably absurd. The sanctity of private property and of the Holy Trinity are the rocks upon which he stands like a Bland Bronze Colossus.

Much more urgent a matter is the policy of the opposite party, which, under the guise of protecting defenceless America from pernicious Reds, wields a powerful weapon of reaction. The same group of Bolshevik-bailers that backs the closing of Ford Hall Forum lists such names as Dean Pound, Professor Bliss Perry, and the presidents of Smith and Mt. Holyoke as dangerous, and closes to them lecture platforms in towns and clubs where the black list is law. Dungeons and the rack...
...Russia. Shrewd Ivy Lee observes that so long as the balance continues favorable to the U. S. he can see no validity in "the suggestion that in buying Russian goods we are providing funds for [Russian] propaganda activities in the United States. . . . My impression [is] that the so-called Bolshevik propaganda is, in itself, perfectly futile...
