WHAT IF RUSSIA FAILS?

1t will be many a day perhaps be-
fore we shall know the truth as to
the Russian revolution. but n thing
admits of no doubt. If Russia can be
turned back to ~autocracy, if it can be
subdued by German intrigue, if it can
be ~terrorized by the madnes of liberty
expressing itself in anarchy, the pow
er Of that great country on the side
of the allies must be lost.
This is a consideration which every
opponent of the Universal Service Bill
at Washington should meet fairly and
suuarely. With Russia detached from
Great Britain and France,oF with Rus
STA possibly subjected to the service
of Germany, the vel would take on
new aspects of vital Importance to all
concerned Not only would the great
Iman-power OF a vast territory be
withdrawn from the Allies, but food
resources of i~ncalcu1able value would
instantly become available to the
enemy. 1t would then be seen that a
war whose duration some of us have
been figuring in months might easily
be protracted~for years.
The United States cannot ignore the
! possibility of this situation without
sexposing itselfato disaster and hum1l-
