The Lives of Nations Hang on That Card

The New York Times discusses the Russian
problem in these words:
Precisely as if they were brand new, precise
ly as if nobody had ever thought of them or
heard of them before, all the old trite arguments
against intervention in Russia start up spasmod-
icay the moment the idea begins to show un-
mistakable signs of gathering weight. Stimuli
taneously there start into life a score of move
ments of sinister appearance, with Russian names
back of them, deplorng the idea of any effective
kind of intervention, and pointing out the great
need of sending only money and shoes into Rus
sia-into the hands of Germany. We know
enough of Germany's methods to be scant of
courtesy with this latter phase but the first the
appearing of the old and obvious arguments
against intervention as if they were new and
weghty, is perfectly honest and deserves respect
full treatment.
We are told, for instance that we should Of
fend the Bolsheviki if we sent an army into Rus
STA; and we are further told that the Russian
masses would misconstrue it and make common
cause with the Boshevk We are told-by The
Evening Post-that we have no invitation from
the Russian people, and that unless the will of
Russia is with US we can accomplish nothing. We
are told-The Brooklyn Eagle informs us-that
the Cadet Party, which alone invites us, is not
known to have any great strength or standing in
Russia We are told that Russia is wholly
mad"-it is The World that tells us this-and
that it wants no Resistance from anybody ex-
cept the apostles of classism, anarchy, confisca-
ton and reputation"
We will not say that these things are true, but
we will say that the possibility of their being true
was obvious to everybody before the subject of
intervention was brought to the front. And we
declare that, granting them to be true-which is
a thing we do not grant-it is still the duty of
the Allies to intervene and save Russia from her.
SELF 1t is their duty to themselves, to the world,
to civilization, to the future, even if we leave
Russia out of all consideration as being as unwor-
thy as The World thinks she is. We do not deny
that the situation is full of complexities; but we
do assert that there is single, simple, utterly
uncomplex fact in it. That is the fact that if we
let Russia go the way she is headed, the world is
doomed. On the salvation of Russia whether
she likes it or not, depends the salvation of all
of US.
1t may be that by intervening in Russia we

POLICIES IN AMERICA
Decision to Return to Washington
proved Course Here.

BUENOS AIRES. March 6.-The de-
cision of DR.. Romulo S. Naon, ambassa-
dor to the United States, to return to
Washington, means that the govern
ment has approved without reserve
everything the ambassador has done
and that he will continue with the
same policies which he has been fol-
lowing in the attempt to bring the two
countries closer together. The Assoc
ciated Press correspondent is in posi-
ton to make this statement as a result
of information received from au-
thoritative source.
This state of affairs. together with
several political incidents recently leads
to the belief in Buenos Aires that there
is no longer any doubt Argentina is
assuming a more friendly attitude to-
ward the United States and the entente
allies The correspondent also learns
Dr. Naon is studying with President
Irigoyen various projects designed to
bring Argentina and the United States
into closer relationship. with Substan-
tial benefits for both countries.
