BY ROBERT j. BENDER,
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT,

Washington, ID. c., July 1.--Presi-
dent Wilson is formulating his doc
trine of aid" for Russia.
With orders issued that he shat not
be disturbed, the president worked in
his study preparing a statement which
will make clear Americas purposes n
the allied effort to put Russia on her
fee. There is no Indication today
that the president will advocate un-
qualifiedly a set plan for the allies.
After extended exchanges between
Great Britain, France, Italy and the
United States, however, his founda-
by all.
Economic Aid First.
1T contempiates economic aid first-
means of assisting the Russian people
to improve their financial condition,
restore business channels and move
crops. Conferences between President
Wilson, Secretary OF Labor Wilson,.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston and
Secretary of Commerce Redfield have
developed the plans for organizing
facilities, it developed today. This will.
serve to lay the groundwork for milf.
tary assistance IL demanded. The first
need is to restore complete confidence
in Russia in the allies, 1t is stated.
The president will inform congress
of his purposes-.possibly in a formal
address to that body. He already
conferred with congressional leaders
on the question. His Fourth of July
speech at Mount veraon will hold out
the hand of aid to Russia as well as
other nationalities now under German
domination.
The presidents work is rendered
doubly difficult by the confusing re-
ports from Russia. The only certain
thing abou. the situation there is the
increasing chaos. II the bolshevist
are overthrown, however, the allies are
now definitely enough together in their
plans to offer assistance to any stable
government established The Germans,
it is known, are preparing to gain con
troll OF such government before the
allies can move.
England believes that ir an American
army should be put into Russia, even
though it were only 100000 men or
less, it would serve as a rallying point
for the Slavs. AS 1T moved on it would
gain recruits; n its very presence
would stimulate the Russians to align
themselves against Germany. Backed
by other allied forces. a powerful army
could be built, Jay British sources.

THE open DOOR TO Be POLICY
OF UNCLE SAN IN China AFFAIRS

Washington, u. C.--The time has ar
rived when public men, conversant with
the general situation in Russia and this
country's relation thereto, feel that OBJ.
serTations should be made on a subject
that they consider TO be Of the most
Importance, not only TO Russia but TO
the future relations OF this nation with
its allies After consulting the com
petent authorities dealing with Russia,
this bureau finds that the situation re
ferred to may be best stated in two
propositions which, considered together,
viii bring out the truth which lies at
the door of the United States entrance
into Russia.
The first of these propositions is as
follows: iii the speeches of President
Wilson since the war began and his
private utterances, stated in their
simplest terms, pledge the United States
unreservediy to absolute unselfishness
in this war, and especially In dealings
with oppressed and defenseless peoples.
The other proposition is: Various
trade and commercial interests are
seeking representation on the economic
mission to Russia with a view. first, to
assisting in the extension of aid to the
Russians, and, second, of profiting later
from the trade relations that might
grow out of the gratitude for help
given in time OF dire distress.
AS The real friends of Russia view
these two propositions they are diamet-
ricadly opposed Z. Z. es::...-h other. The
type OF unseliishness which the Presi.
dent has sought 10 impress upon the
world as the United States motive i'll
