TEACHING AMERICANISM TO
RUSSIANS.

The official mission from the new revO-
lutlOnaFy government Of Russia has ar
rived in Washington and was received at
the capital with a simplicity and absence
of display and pomp that must have inn
pressed the guests with the fact that this
is truly democracy and not the capitalists
tic empire some of their Wild-eyed fellow
Countrymen have pictured it to be.
The longer the Russians remain in this
country the more illuminating will be- the
report they will take back with them. Hap
ply there never was a time in recent years
when the money power had less influence
in Washington than at the present time,
and happily also, even in wartime, every
effort is being made to preserve the basic
principles of real democracy.
Aside from all this, the Russians should
&c able to look at America with eyes pre-
possessed in our favor. During the long
years of their bitter struggle towards free
DOM their compatriots, who were forced
to flee, found no haven of refuge in auto
cratic Germany, but in free France, Swift
7erIand, England and the United States
Only in those countries were political
refugees safe from the clutches of the min
IONS of the car. Only in those countries
were they sure of sympathy and support
and financial aid
So that the Russian mission comes to
America from the Russian democracy,
finding here not only a present ally. but
an old-time friend of the Russian people,
rs opposed to their brutal masters
