I^he Soviet is not oveithrovrn bec'anso it has the snpport of the preat mass of the Russian people, end that is the t<wti«ony of. General G(Jugh, who ha* beau on a Government Mission with the White :i rnnes. Let us have tha truth, Dot..mere partisan statements. Need we say that it is our mission to have the truth and we are bound to sa.y that tiie truth "rith regard to the v.orking out Bolshevism in Russia, as ve have been able to see it, is that it is ac- companied by the most c'i u atrocities. In Russia, as tar ar the ovioence we have had goes to show, Bolshevist idealism and btiicher- ings are cwin-scms. May we ask the attention ef Mr. Rees 8;;v1 those who think with him, to the article Mr. Cdurtier-Forst^r contributed to yesterday's hen tbe first revolution was ac- complished, he says, "we saw Russia rising to great and glorious J heignls of dernooratio freedoim and advancement.

But the revolution collapsed. Hs purpose was perverted. Tba bril- liant future did not materialise. The r Chaplain declares that "all these.' I things the Bclrhevists haYé deliocr- j stely destroyed.

Mr. Fall: The position is altered hy { the conference with the master huÜders at the conference on Monday. Mr. James, arffusn^ in favour of direct administration, believing that the archi- tect department could be extended. pointed out tfcat in bis own experience he had built for £215 a house that the buihiers estimated would cost £i0!) or fMf. 'P' r<t ] h ¡ t The Chftirman remarked that if a g" ) cgse was made out for direct adminis- tration, and there were the required guarantees, had au open mind en it. Mr. Hording said if the operatives ¡ could build riift housrs cheaper i;e did I not think the committee would object to their doing so on rhe some condilions as I builders—say by forming themselves into ftn association—-but they wen Id be acting I blindly if they allowed them to go on j with the work without some guarantee. The Chnirrpan: Quite rii?ht. A BLANK CHEQUE. Mr. Hording remarked that it quite obviuus that the architect's depa?t- i m?nt was o'?rwcj'k?d already. He could  not see how he could undertake direct hc-v (?oull(I ant <?s.e it should II not be with a blau.1: cheque.. In reply io lid. Owen, the Chairman said the six houses on Town Hill erected Ii by direct administration were in ali re- spects satisfactory. But this was a I trmall contract. Aid Owen remarked that the m'r: I would put more mto direct w-úrk than I i when for a builder. Mr. Harding: There is roc much principle in that. I Aid. Owen: It is demonstrated aow br the Town Hiil contractor wanting to let work that they ought to Mr. Hardings Th;it is not an equsl case. Mr. T. J.

Mr. PoleitiArj added tbnk there was no question of cutting out the builders. It I' was a question of getting every possible help. I I ARCHITECT'S Di FACULTIES.
