WHY
1t Is Unfair to Say the Slavs
Lack Capacity

The Russian people are backward,
to be sure, but it would be rash to in
fer therefrom that the Slavs lack ca
pacity. Aside from the Germans, who
have their own motives for running
down the Russians, i have met with
no foreign observers of this people
who doubted thcir Tits of intellect,
imagination and hcuIr, writes Edward
Alsworth Ross in ASIA Magazine. 1t Is
true, | know ethnOlogists who wonder
If the quick encouragement and insta-
bility of will so characteristic among
the Russians is not II mark of the Slavic
race. Queerly enough, however, this
was precisely the outstanding trait of
the Germans in Roman times. Their
fury of onset, Juror Teutonicus, vas n
by-wOrd among the leglOnaries, but the
warriors quickly lost heart if the Ro-
mans held them at bay a couple of
hours. When one contrasts with this
the tenacity and stubbornness of the
modern German soldiers one sees how
national character itself may be ut
terly transformed by education and
never-say-die ideals. In the same way
1t Is likely that Russian instability, far
ply that the people have not yet been
nodded by the tonic character-making
forces which have given the French,
for instance, u ~tenacity in resistance
which a century ago was supposed to
be a monopoly of the "bull dog" Eng

CROOKED RELSLMESS

Q ONE time since the Senate directed the Federal Trade
- commission to make investigation into price fixing
as is practced this country and late Saturday the
commission handed in a report which showed what the
commission calls ''inOrdnae greed and baTefaced fraud"
tending to defeat the purpose Of price fixing. which 10
cut the price to the consumer down to small figure
as consistent with reasonable profit for producer and
distributor. Il is charged in the report, and the charge
substantaed by figures, that the worst offenders are the
meat packers and the -four mles Ii is furthermore chare
ed that practically all Of them have stopped 10 the most

Now that the Senate has got this information will be
interesting to know what it is going do about it, That
effort will be made 10 use to prove that price fixing

WHAT FOOD SAVING DID.

7 TERBERT HOOVER. Food administrator the
other day told newspaper men in Washington that
during February and March our allies in Europe
were starving to the point Of licking the platter In Lon
don. IN March, there always 100000 or more people
q line waiting for chance to get food supplies. In April
he foods saved by Americans began reaching Europe in
quantity. Says Mr. Hoover:
The fortunate thing our food got over there just when
NE great spring offensive Of the Germans got under way,
and just when the morale Of the allied peoples was going
down very fast Our food saved the day. and we never
:Ould have shipped the amounts did If had not been
