Minority Rule a Demoraliz
ing Influence.
Those "democratic" governments of
central" and eastern Kurope would be
' much more conviricitijf if they re
vealed, in their spirit and organiza
tion, the primary requisite of demo
cracy, which is the rule of the ma
jority. It is well known that the Holshevisl
party which hus ruled Russia with
brutal and bloody hnnd constitutes n
very mini 1 1 part of the Russian peo
ple. Lcnine and Trotzky have suc
ceeded not by virtue of jrcncrnl public
support, but by personal audacity aml;oorBC wns overwhelmingly endorsed
armed force.
l.iebknecht tried to put over the
snrne trick In Germany. The German I
Ilolshevist faction has been admitted-
ly one of the smallest of Germany's
many political parties. Its r.treiitnli, I
too, was confined mostly to Ileilin.
The more rational Kroup of, Socialists
controlled by K t has been far
.tr,mKer numerically all alont;. Yet j
I.u-bknecht for months kept the Kov -
eniment and coun.ry . terror and
almost succeeded ... makinK luni.elfj
