ABSTRACT
The political and economic crises of the past year have created such an alarming situation in Europe that many continental countries seem at the present time to be again seriously threatened by the spectre of revolution. The Soviet leaders in Moscow are, in addition, doing their utmost to aggravate still further the difficult economic situation of Europe and to accelerate the outbreak of disturbances. Communist activity in most continental countries is being carried on with increased intensity. Particularly is this true of Germany, where, owing to the recent considerable Communist gains, an attempt on their part to seize power is seriously thought to be possible. In two European countries—in Hungary and in Latvia—the Soviets have, since the war, already held the reins of government for a period of several months.
