A WALL IN THE WAY OF AID.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, appears as an ex-
horter in behalf of help for Russia. There is
plenty of proof that this government desires to
give all possible help to Russia, and that it is
supported in this desire by the nation. But it is
not without great difficulty that helpfulness
can be wisely managed at his time. To help
the Russian people we must reach them. I'm
fortunately the best agents in the matter Of
availability by whom We might reach the Rus
slams are disloyal to our national motives and
actions. A large number Of Russian immi-
grants to this country have returned to Russia
and they are Of the type well known in our large
cities. They are opponents of regulation by
law; they are propagandists Of disruption. They
have not been happy in this country since they
have not succeeded in winning allegiance by
any considerable number of our people. The
police of the cities and agents of the United
States secret service department have given
them attention when necessary. These self
Iexiled> Russians are spreading unfrlendly re-
Eports about us in Russia. We lack the means
of reaching the mass Of the Russian people to
whom we sincerely desire to show all friend
Iship. If we send material aid at this time it is
likely to be exploited for individual advantage
lbv the men or group Of men who have power to
control it Just now. We have little confidence
that controlled by the bolsheviki leaders or by
any small cabinet in power at the moment
this aid would fulfill its purpose. The prob
lem, upon which depends the aid giving Senator
iBorah advocates, is one of means rather than Of
willingness and thus far the senator has not
suggested the means available.
s.Now," says Won Hindenburg, cit is our
enemies turn. They will come to u.s." They
will, general, and if you wait to receive them
after their voyage across the sea, they will greet
YOU most warmly.
For a long time we were perplexed because
we did not know what we had in our Russian
allv, and now Germany seems to be as much
puzzled as we were.
Some day a binding decision may be handed
down as to what constitutes a fair rate per mile
for railway passenger transportation.
The government is going to put a food faster
in each Of the soldier camps. There will be a
rush of applicants for that job.
