Support Russia

SAYS Investigator

St. Louis, April 21.-Declaratior
that the Allies must support Russia

ceived here today from Major George

the cablegram says. with murder,
robbery and terrorism. it endeavors to
exterminate the church. education
and private ownership Of property.
No instance Of constructive action
has been observed.
1.-The new Russian provisional gov
eminent, led by Kolchak, is strongly
ascendant in western Siberia. Eastern
Russian people are accepting mobili-
zation, heartily determined to destroy
Bolshevism.
1.-The retreating Bolsheviki have
pillaged hospitals, killing and deport-
ing doctors and nurses. 1t is incon-
ceivable that the Allied nations
should treat with the irresponsible
Bolsheviki. Bolshevism must be de-
stroyed here to save civilization. I'm
less the Allies support Russia the
world will lose the fruits of the war.
With German efficiency and Russia's
natural resources, Germany could
soon recoup her losses and again
menace the world

course urge that justice and fairness
be done to all those whose interests

JAPANESE PAPER
SEES SNUB IN
PARIS DECISION

Toxic. Saturday, April 19-(By the
Associated Pre.s)-Commenting on
the failure of the racial equality
clause to be Incorporated inthe COW
enant OF the League Of Nations, the
Japan Times declares that the ma
tional disappointment Of Japan YER
ges upon disafection and affords 3D.
portunity for sensationalists to stir
up anti-white prejudice. Represen~
tative japanese regard the Paris de-
cision as snub and a humilia ton,
the newspaper says.
Japan's admission to the company
of the great powers must be consid
cred as only for the political conven-
fence of the Allies. the Times de-
clares, and it compares Japan's po-
sition to that of a Negro preacher
asked to speak in church because Of
his oratorical power but who ia no,
considered the racial equal of the
white congregation.
1T is we'll for Japan to remember
this point" the newspaper adds. 1.-The
only way Of sustaining Japan's pres.
tage must Be sought in preparedness
to cop. with international situations
as htey develop. Peace on Earth and
Good Will toward Men. must be con.
sidered as still very distant"
