THE FINAL CONCLUSION.

With regard to the final point, namely, the problem which Russia presents to the civilized world, I cannot do better, perhaps, than quote the closing sentences in Mr. Ivy Lee's book. He says :- " The dilemma which faces civilisation is this : How to draw ' Russia towards the West, to cure the disease of Bolshevism, to avert the menace of revolutionary Asia.'

Such is the supreme challenge to the business statesmanship of the world ! "
