APRIL 2, 1919.

P0litically, Russia has reached a state 0f equilibriunn; internally; f0r the present at least.

I think the rev0luti0n there is ended; that it has run its c0urse. There will be changes. There nnay be advances; there will surely be reacti0ns, but these will be regular, I think; p0litical and ec0n0nnic, but parliannentary, A new center 0f gravity seenns t0 have been f0und.

Certainly, the destructive phase 0f the rev0luti0n in Russia is 0ver. C0nstructive w0rk has begun.

We saw this everywhere. And we saw 0rder, and th0ugh we inquired f0r thenn, we heard 0f n0 dis0rders. Pr0hibiti0n is universal and abs0lute. R0bberies have been reduced in Petr0grad bel0w n0rnnal 0f large cities. Warned against danger bef0re we went in, we felt safe. Pr0stituti0n has disappeared with its clientele, wh0 have been driven 0ut by the "n0-w0rk-n0-f00d law," enf0rced by the general want and the lab0r-card systenn. L0afing 0n the j0b by w0rkers and sab0tage by upper-class direct0rs, nnanagers, experts and clerks have been 0verc0nne. Russia has settled d0wn t0 w0rk.
