OF The Bolshovist campaign against Poland.
II was believed that demo radiation in the
Red army was proceeding so rapidly that
the overthrow OF the Lenine-Trotzky re-
Eimc was only question Of II few weeks.
French recognition OF tho dc facto govern
ment set up by General Wrangel strength
ened this belief. But French inability to
follow up its action by sending a relief OK
petition and supplies 10 enable Wrangel to
prosecute his campaign. and tho refusal of
England and other allied nations to render
such needed assistance throw the advantage
away. The Bolshcvists quickly brought or
der ou' OF decentralization. and with over
whelminS forces rushed to that front and
quickly accom- plishcd his defeat.
There is nothing TO it now but that the
Bolsherfsts arc in full control Regardless
OF the methods by which they have estab-
iished their power. thoy are the real rulers
OF Russia. No other white hope is in
sight on whom tho Russian people can pin
their hopes. IL they have any desire to do
so. a. disagrocable as is tho thought. it
is foregonc conclusion that the allies
will soon be brought face to face with the
Crcstion of according recognition to the
existing government rs the only one with
which they can do business. With q no
ton OF 1f5.000,000 people submitting to
such rule. the outside world can only con-

hFolVou III tho action taken is to insult
the intelligence of the people. The people
want men at the head OF the departments
qualified TO give them tho kind Of service

retent men for positions OF such rcspon-
sibility cannot be secured and retained

is results the people want, and to get these
they are willing to pay the kind of salaries
that are required to attract big calibered
mon who Gun grasp tho city's needs and
are willing ana able to cooperate with tho
Mayor In pushing Richmond rapidly to the
front among the progressive cities Of the
South. 1t has been shown that by good
management In the past year each Of the
four directors has saved to the city more
than the amount OF tho salary received
and yet in the face of this and the fact that
tnc present salaries wore tentatively fixed
under implied promise OF future increase
uron showing OF results. Councilmen ig-
rored this promise, and some of them re
rerscd their previous action in voting for
an increase.

On RcsubInittinr the Treaty

CERTAIN OF the Presidents friends have
- urged him TO return the rejected treaty
OF Versailles to the Senate AS soon as that
body reconvenes in December, renewing his
recommendation that it be ratified without

publican leaders particularly Senator Hard

Bitter Eight III Prospect

HE Republican pnrty is pledged by "a
plank IN its platform to repeal the
clause i'll the Panama Canal act which pro-
hibits preferential treatment for American
ships passing through the canal and Mr.
Harding announced his hearty support of the
plank during the campaign. 1t Is, therefore.
foreseen that it will be live issue before.

1t Will prccipitate Il bitter fight in which
opposition to the repeal will not divide on
strict party lines.
Theodore Burton, who has been elected to
Congress from the Cleveland. Ohio. dis
trict, has announced that while he has no
inclination to take issue with the next adj
ADMINISTRATION on any party policy no will
oppose legislation designed To carry into
effect the party plank. Mr. Burton was a
Senator from Ohio when the tolls repeal
act was passed and he stood with Senator
Elihu Root in favor OF that measure Like
AIR. Root, he believes that the Iiay-Pauncc-
fote treaty forbids discrimination in tolls
but he also sees IN preferential treatment
of American shipping in the canal a caa,se
OF international friction dangerous 10 the
triepdlest international relations In this
view he does not stand alone among Re-
publican members OF the TWO houses
