THE RUSSIAN TURMOIL

The days Of the Russian Soviet gov
eminent seem 10 be numbered. APP
parently the Russian armies Of General
Yudenitch on the north and west. Deni-
kline on the south, and Kolchak in the
east, assisted by various Esthonian,
Lettish and Polish detachments. have
drawn a ring Of iron around the Boil
shevik forces. and are contracting II
rapidly. The fall OF Petrograd Is re-
ported. though not officially. hut it Is
evident that the former Russian CAPT.
tai is in dire straits. For months the
Bolshevik have practically been cut OF
from the outside world. so far as re-
ceipt Of supplies were concerned. and it
is probable that their present desperate
situation is due to a lack Of munitions
and Of food, as much as anything else.
Ghas.ly stories OF distress come from
interior Russia. Industry and trade
have broken down and cities have been
almost depopulatcd. or all the hideous
nightmares Of history. the excuses OF
the Russian revolution has been the
most horrible. The wild insanity OF
the French Republicans was limited to
relatively small section OF territory.
and while they numbered their victims
by the hundreds. the Russian Bolshevik
have slain their thousands. and their
tens OF thousands. Out Of this welter
OF suffering and slaughter. a now and
better Russia is pretty certain TO come,
blu, even after the overthrow Of the
Bolshevik there will be much to be
done before orderly conditions are re-
established in thu Russian Empire.

for the United States a vote equal in
the Assembly Of the League Of Nations
to the vote Of Great Britain and her
self governing colonies. The defeat OF
previous amendments portcnds the de-
feat Of the Johnson amendment. On
it's face. this amendment seems TO
make for equity. However. it is doubt
full if it would be a better solution OF II
complicated problem than the treaty as
1t stands. The Assembly is largely a
debating body and votes in the Assem-
bly, relative to International questions
must be unanimous. Therefore. pre-
ponderancc OF votes on one side or an
other is not OF very vital Importance.
AS has been pointed out. it is almost
inconcrlvable that the United States
would stand alone in the Assembly.
The republic OF Panama. for instance.
and the republic Of Cuba. as we'll as
lies, over whom We naturally exercise
a very great influence. will all have
votes in the Assembly. and IN III" large
majority Of cases. their votes Will be
cast with those OF the United States.
1t would be manifcstly unfair To deny
to the great Dominion OF Canada, repre-
sentation in the Assembly of the
League Of Nations. As to many things,
Canada would naturally resent repre-
sentation only through Great Britain.
Unless the Assembly should b" made
entirely unwlcldy. the present basis of
representation Is probably as good u
one as could be arrived at.

A RAILROAD COURT

= The I,.telligenccr Is in receipt OF an
Interesting circular issued by me
National Industrial Traffic League. an
organization Of the leading traffic man
ayers Of the Country. in which an eN-
.cnsivc and comprehensive argument is
made against the long and "hort haul
clause in the pending railroad bill. The
authors OF the circular claim that n rig
d enforcement Of the long and short
haul clause would tend TO restrict
. Transportation among carriers by drlr-
ing longer lines OF railroads out Of
business al competitive points They
also urge that many elemeats enter into
the transportation rate other than the
distance: that the value Of the service
20 the shipping public should be con-
sidered and not merely the amount OF
labor performed in the service. Finally
hey allege that in many sections rig
ID enforcement OF the long and short
haul clause would result in the mon
epoly Of traffic by water carriers. which
would DC as bad as or worse than.
monopoly by rail carriers
simply as an academic proposition IT
would seem that the long and short
haul law ought 70 be enforced in rail-
th,t ntf o.
20 be allowed 10 charge less for carry
ing freight 500 miles than for carrying
l., 100 or zoo miles. Tho present law.
as amended in 1910 absolutely forbids
carriers charging higher rates AZ inter-
mediate points than points more distant
except IN specia! cases where the Inter
state Commerce Commission finds that
the departure from the law is justified.
Probably the granting OF power to tho
Interstate Commerce Commission is the
wisest method OF handling this Ques-
ton, and in this connection. it is the be-
lirr Of the Intclli gencer that the whole
subject Of railroad rates. and the whole
Reid Of government control OF interstate
commerce can best be handled by en-
larging the activities OF the Interstate

1t is impossible to even hint at
effective American absorption of the
alien without regarding the American
standard OF living. The conditions
