There seems to be no reason to doubt Professor Moore's conclusion; the few figures he quotes are quite convincing enough in themselves; but as always there is an old guard that resents changes and innovations.

There seems no reason to doubt that the Bolsheviki hoped to force the U. S. to recognize Russia by making it afford the Sinclair Co. protection. No account was taken of the political theory of the U.
