PORTLAND BEST LIKED
Tassivc Allies and Ivack of Crusade
for Loaders Hastening Bolshe
yikl Downfall, Says Count.
That the bolshevik regime In Rus
sis is now rauidly nearir.g Its end la
the prediction of Count Ilya, Tolstoy,
eon of the noted Russ'an novelist,
who spoke yesterday at the luncheon
of the Progressive Business Men's
club at the Benson hot.il.
Count Tolstoy and Countess Tol
toy, his wife, who are refugees from
Russia, are now en route to New
York city from San Francisco and
,are visiting a few days in Portland.
They are making: their headquarters
at the Seward hotel.
Count Tolstoy said that Be louna
Portland the most beautiful city he
had yet seen In tLe United States.
In his address at the Progressive
Business Men's club the count de-
rlared that bolshevism was tne cnuo
of violence and that consequently the
policy of non-resistance which had
been adopted by the allies and the
fact that there was now uu i-.u-eade"
upon which the leaders in Rus
sia could call their followers meant
that bolshevism would die speeauy.
Bolnhevlam Dying Oat.
rt,. nri nf bolshevism is near-
Jng," he declared. "Its support in
the past has been the opposition of
the generals and of the allies."
Count Tolstoy said that the way to
fight bolshevism was by a policy of
non-refstance and love.
"Open up the blockade against Kus
ela," he aid. "Let them have supplies
. of provisions and other things that
they need. The result will be that
every man who becomes well fedwill
become an enemy of bolshevism."
He said that at the present tims
the bolshevik leaders hope to spread
their beliefs through India and other
countries of Asia.
"They do not believe It possible at
this time to spread bolshevism In
other sections of Europe and the
United States. However, they think
that India and other sections of Asia
would be easy prey. Once intrenched
among the populations of Asia, they
hope to spread to other parts of the
world with their beliefs."
Monro vr Has Bolsheviiit School.
He said that now at a school at
Moscow 200 young men were learn
ing tha doctrines of bolshevism so
that they could spread these doctrines
throughout the world.
That bolshevism has been afallure
In its hope of building a structure of
communism upon the ruins of de
stroyed capitalism was declared by
Count Tolstoy. '
"The first step In the -programme
of the bolsheviki, the destruction of
capitalism, has been complete." be
aid- "The next step lp the proposed
programme, the erection of the struc
ture of communism, has failed, and
the leaders of the movement realize
.ho tViw hav. foilari"
-',- .
He said that one sign of the failure
of the communistic movement is the
fact that a new middle class is being
formed in Russia just as one was
formed In France after the revolution.
Feasant Not Good Bolahevlata.
Count Tolstoy said that in contrast
to the bolsheviki in the cities of Rus
Bia were the peasants on the farms,
who did not subscribe to the doctrines
of the bolshevik regime. These peas
lints, he said, refused to sell bread to
the people of the cities for the new
paper money. In addition he said that
the cities were cut off by railroad
communications so that famine condi
tions were prevailing.
"The result to the bolshevik regime,'
he said, "is that there is a heavy death
rate and an exceedingly low birth
rate. People are dressing In homespun
and in shoes of bark ajid are (burning
wooden splinters for light as they did
100 years ago. Many are also going
back to the country districts fn the
hope of getting food.
The speaker said that 90 per cent of
the people of Russia lived In. the
country districts and consequently
that the bolshevik regime embraced
only a small percentage of the popu
lation of the country.
Trade Almost Impossible.
In referring to possibilities for
trade with Russia at the present time
be expressed the belief that the Rus
sian people could not pay for goods in
any considerable quantities and for
that reason any trade relations at this
time could not be of great importance.
He said he did not think that Russian
trade would be a great factor until
the bolsheviki were overthrown.
Both Count and Countess Tolstoy
speak English fluently, with a slight
foreign accent.
The countess handles the difficult
English repartee in a clever manner
aud she proved herself a gracious visi
tor to the city.
When told that she was to be pho
tographed' so that her beauty could
be spread on Portland's morning
newspaper, she laughingly demanded,
"Why the beauty?"
Count Tolstoy spoke at the Oregon
Agricultural college Wednesday. He
will go to Salem Monday to speak
before the Rotary club there.
Builirai Mea Hold Election.
The Progressive Business Men's
club approved the proposed uniform
false statement in writing law at
yoMerday's luncheon.

count the following officers were
elected unanimously: Dr. William F.

FROM WORLD VAK,
Dr. Fraiik Djer Honor Guest at Pa.
clfio University Celebration,
of Charter Day.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Fores
Grove, Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) "The
most positive gain out of the world
war is the growth of the college stu
dent body ot the cation." said Dr,
Frank Dyer, pastor of the First Con
gregatlonal church of Tacoma, Wash.
in an address ncre last, night. The
occasion was the celebration of
"Charter Pay," better known as Pa
cific's birthday pay, for on January
10. 1854, the territorial legislature
granted a charter to Tualatin academy
and Pacific university, superseding
the original charter of 1849. The cele
bmtion was postponed a week that
Dr. Dyer might be the . guest ot
nonor.
Dr. Dyer, who has. held the Tacoma
pastorate for eight' years. Is a gradu
ate of Wheaton college and Chicago
Theological Seminary and received
the degree of doctor of divinity from
Pacific university in 1915.
"This enlargement of the student
body has led to serious overcrowding
of state institutions," said Dr. Dyer.
"The University of California, which
I visited recently, has an enrollment
01 10.000."
The meeting was of Interest also
because President Clark announced
that a manager had been engaged to
direct a campaign of expansion and
that the drive for ?2.000,000 additional
endowment would soon begin.
Dr. Dyer's address was on "The
Pilgrim Fathers." He said In part:
"Three hundred years ago the May
flower lay at anchor on the coast of
Massachusetts. It has been said that
history was on the side of the Pil
grims, but I say that the Pilgrims
were on the side of history. What
Columbus meant to geography, the
Pilgrims meant to democracy, i The
Pilgrims found the continent, but
they brought America, the essence of
the new world, with them."

LONDON, Jan. 20. (Special Cable.)
Sir Auckland Geddes' return home
at this juncture has aroused as much
Interest as did the return of A. J.
Balfour after his war mission and
Lord Grey at the conclusion of his
stay in Washington. It has encour
aged all manner of speculation, but
the fact is that Premier Lloyd George
wants to receive a report in person
from the British ambassador on the
American opinion today toward the
outstanding political and economic
issues facing the world.
As Ambassador Geddes' arrival just
precedes the Anglo-French confer
ences on Germany's reparations obli
gations, it is naturally supposed that
the British premier wanted him to
come to London before the British
and French governments took up the
all-important question of how much
Germany was to pay and how long
a time she should be allowed to do It.
There is still some hope here that
the Harding administration may be
willing to come to some arrangement
about a parallel-basic payment of
war debts; that is, to be willing to
accept the Anglo-French point ot
view that it is to be paid when Ger
many pays Britain, and France, ajid
in proportion to the amount paid by
Germany.
There is nothing to Justify tnis
optimism. On vthe contrary, the best
opinion inclines to tne view tnai mo
Harding administration will consiaer
it has gone the limit if it grants
additional time for payment.
What no one here denies, who Is at
all in touch with the government. Is
that the Irish question will be of
overshadowing importance in the
premier's meeting with Ambassador
Geddes. '
The liberals Deiieve mat ine am
bassador, after his many months in
America, will come home convinced
that no solid basis of friendship can
be builded up between tne two na-
un. nnius the Irish question is
Justly settled, and tjr"ey hope he will
tell Premier Lloyd ueorge so in
uncertain terms.
