GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE

More detailed news from the Ukraine indicates that the change of government there consists in the elimination of the Pro-German government, established by German sup port. Soon after Germany signed a peace treaty with Rus sia General Skoropadski enter ed the Ukraine, and, in the name of the Allies, crushed the budding Soviet forces. Skoro- padski soon paid a visit to Ber- in and came away with Ger man support. Skoropadski re- gained from the peasants the land they had taken from the great land owners. Alexieff md Deniken, are former gen erals of the Czar, also attached .o the great landholder's cause, who have overthrown the Pro- German government of Skoro- oadsld. The land question is 1t the heart of the Russian problem; as 1t Is at the heart of the Mexican problem. There will never be order, or stabil-
 ty, in Russia until the land question is solved to the satis
 faction of the Russian peasant.

came to mean to the Connec- ticut mind that condition in which the nation shipped more goods to other countries than it received from other coun- tries; this condition never was favorable, since the excess of goods always were sent to pay a debt.
 Since the war began the United States has sent goods enough to pay its debt, and much more. The United States has for the first time in its his tory a favorable balance of trade. Europe owes billions to America.
 This means that presently Europe will begin to pay its debt, and, that the debt may be paid, European goods will. and must, flow to the United States in large excess.
 Presently MT, Merritt of Stamford and other interiors of the economic theories of the late MT. Hill will have the task of telling how the United States can be a great creditor nation and yet not receive more foreign goods than it exports oi its own.
 A creditor nation must ulti- mately receive more of the goods of other nations than il sends of it's own, or must re.

AUTOMATTSM IN POLITICS

The Republican party was 1 born as a party of protest | against slavery. It was in many other ways a radical party, With the victory of the | North in the Civil war the Re- publican party became domi- nant, and New England became Republican. Wealth increased in New England, industry flourished, and the Republican party became conservative. ! The negro in the South kept he Democratic party together and kept it solid in the South 3rn states. New England Re oublicans never have forgotten heir traditional antipathy to the Southern Democracy. As the years passed the South and New England became similar in economic thought. They became and remain the ultra conservative states. With the single exception of Prohibition, the South economically and so- cially thinks the same thoughts as New England.
 The Western Republican, on the other hand, is frequently progressive; often he is, in the economic sense, a Socialist. The worst fate that can over take the ideas of industrial New England would be a govern ment by Western Republicans. Already Western Republicans seek to shatter Penrose, the idol of Eastern manufacturers. | These Westerners threaten to turn the senate over to the Democrats, unless the West shall sit in the saddle.
 From the West comes prohi- bition, equal suffrage, the va rious experiments in public
 
 ownership of public utilities, the agitation for a very low tariff, the experiments in pure democracy, such as the recall of judges, the initiative and re- ferendum and direct primaries.
 Thus New England, obeying habit of thought, moves con- stantly against it's cherished ideals; constantly contributes to the overthrow of the estab- lished order, to which it is so much attached.
 History of the future will contain some interesting chap ters upon mass automatism. Why does habit make men do the things they are accustomed to do, rather than the things they ought to do?
 Every time a New England business man votes the Repub- lican ticket, he drives it into the coffin of the things social, industrial, economic in which New England believes.
