Saving or Salvaging Russia

M ANY leading men throughout the coun.
~ try former President Taft among them
are urging that some measures be taken tc
rescue Russia from German domination and
German exploitation. In some quarters IL
is strongly urged that an American army he
sent to Russia for this purpose. In others
it is suggested that n closer relationship be
established with the Bolshevik regime Then
there is the army Of Japan. impatient to
march into Siberia and, if necessary to
penetrate into Greater Russia itself.
No sane American can dissent from the gen.
eral proposition that Russia should be saved
to the allies. if there is any human way of
doing it. That goes without saying; but to
pronounce such policy is one thing and
to carry 1t into effect is quite another How.
in the name OF civilza ton. is such plan
to be carried out? BY what conceivable pro-
cess can Russia be won again to the cause
for which are fighting? Is there any in
flucnce upon the face OF the earth that can
convince the Russian people that they are
committing national suicide?
If there is any answer to these questions
no statesman publicist here or abroad
has given it, The idea OF sending an army
to Russia under present conditions is Chi
merical. There is no possible guarantee that
it would be received 4 friendly force, III
not, it would have to fight its way through

Japan proposed expedition into Siberia
tho Bolshcyiki kicked up Il tremendous fuss
about it. They accused the Japs OF meditat-
ing conquest and OF undertaking the aliena-
ton OF Siberia from the old country.
Every decent effort has been made to deal
on friendly basis with tho Russian govern
ment. Ambassador Francis has risked his
very life in his determination to remain at
his post and to maintain measure of in
tercoursc with tho regime at Moscow hut
all his approaches have been met with dis
trust. and often with insolcnce He has suf-
Tered afront over and over again but he
has remained on his job in the desperate
hope that ono day Il now force will take
command in Russia that will embrace Amer

AS matters stand to-day, the United States
Is the only consistent supporter Russia has
among tho nations or the earth but its cyl
dcnces of good faith apparently have made
no impression upon the Russian mind Amer
lea is no more respected in Moscow than
any other nation, and if intercession bv this
government is impossible, it is difficult TO
see how tho allies as group can make
headWay toward the regeneration of that
country. The truth is. Russia cannot "come
BACK without again becoming a belligerent
power and there is no fight left in tho blood
of the nation. That seems to be the secret
OF her whole attitude OF surrender.
