Coming back to this “Farmers in the Field” stutl', almost the last sentence is an expression of that school of thought which is mainly responsible for the Russia of today. It says that the Conservative candi- date is pledging himself to follow blindly a political leader “whose Cabinet contains many millionaires." It does not say hmv many. or who they are, or whether they inherited their wealth, earned it themselves honestly or acquired it by bootleg- ging and smuggling. There is a type t of mind which lie-grudges success to anybody else. A person posses- sed of such a mind is always miss- ing the good things of life. It in- duces meanness. envy and cupidity. in political circles it is used by the lied element to stir up discontent. to disrupt social institutions and to t'oment rebellion.
