Notes

On Jan. 1 of this year, there were 641,000 unemployed in Russia. By April 1, this number had increased to 1,400,000. Walter Duranty, able correspondent of The New York Times, estimated that there are now about 1,750,000. He said that the Government's policy of warring on the "Nepmen" (private traders under Lenin's New Economic Policy) was responsible for the situation.

Slating the Soviet Government for trying to kill off intellectualism in Russia, Le Figaro (Paris journal) said in part: "As if this were not enough, students suspected of Menshevism* have been expelled and finally, under compulsion by fanatical women, including the wife of Lenin and Mme. Kamenev, it was decided to make students pass an examination on public development. One question was 'Who is the head of the Third International ?'/- One unfortunate student answered 'Rosa Luxembourg' and was expelled. A woman medical student who was unable to give the exact definition of the Central Executive Committee of the Union of Soviet Republics was dismissed. A third was expelled for not knowing about the members of Lenin's family.

"During the month of June, 28,605 students were examined and 12,000 were expelled. Many students were arrested as counter-revolutionists' and deported to the very prisons which the nihilists want to wipe off the face of the earth."

* Menshevism: The policy of the moderate party-from Menshinstvo, meaning minority. Bolshevism from bolshinstvo, meaning majority.

/- The correct answer to this Question ia: "ZINOVIEV."
