efore, namely, that the Moscow
International does "not represent Soviet Russia." Through the courtesy
of the "New York World" we quote from its issue of February 26, 1920,
the essential parts of Eyre's statement as follows:

"Bolshevik propaganda abroad, though still as active and insidious
as it has ever been has undergone a radical change of late. That
conclusion was arrived at by a close study of the subject, which I
pursued in Moscow and Petrograd, reinforced by an interview with C.
S. Zinovieff, ruler of the latter city, also President of the
Executive Committee of the Third Internationale and firebrand of
the revolution.

"The Russian Communist Party, which is the Bolsheviki's official
political title, no longer exports agitators chosen from among
members to kindle the flames of revolt in foreign lands. They are
too wise for that antiquated process nowadays. What they do in
these scientific times is to import from the country of his birth
the crudely fashioned product of his own domestic Bolshevism,
subject him to certain finishing processes (including perhaps a
gold lining) and ship him back home again complete in every detail,
smooth running and highly inflammable. That is one of the reasons
why the Soviet Government is prepared to promise and to keep its
promise to refrain from sending forth agents charged with spreading
the gospel of capitalistic annihilation....

"Another reason for the Soviet's willingness to quit propagandizing
abroad is that it has already turned over to the Third
Internationale all business of that kind.... Now, the Third
Internationale has no official connection with the Soviet
Government. It is supposed to be a separate institution. Yet all
its leaders hold office under the Soviets and its funds, which are
considerable, must be derived from Soviet sources. Nevertheless it
is technically, indeed legally, non-governmental, wherefore the
Moscow Cabinet is justified in pledging itself to leave propaganda
to 'friendly' foreign states alone.

"The moving spirit of the Third Internationale is Zinovieff, who,
with Lenine and Trotzky, forms the triumvirate on which Bolshevism
today rests, although he is by no means as big a man as the other
two. Zinovieff is not a member of the Council of Peoples'
Commissaries (the Cabinet),
