Providence Journal Discredited.

In order to discredit him in an at
tack on the administration, State
Department has made public con-
fession signed by John R. Rathom,
editor OF the Providence Journal, to
show that he was paid agent OF the
British government in this country.
The Providence (R. ~ Journal was
spectacular in the year before the war
and during the war for its sensational
stories Of German spy plots and out
rlges in the United States. III was
taken as the authority on such mat
ters by most OF the large daily papers
and magazines OF the United States.
In his signed confession, made more
than two years, ago, Rathom declares
that many of his stories were fakes
and all of them contained great ex-
aggerations. #
The delay of the administration IN
making this confession public, as We'll
as the activities of Rathom and the
British agents, and Of the German
agents who, on the other hand, were
doing what they could to mold public
opinion or to prevent activities hostile
to their own country, is another indl-.

is handled to make public opinion and.
action the sport Of outside interests

Our Pocketbook Again.

From the comment Of the American
newspapers on the prospect OF reopen
ino trade with Russia it would appear
that America is likely to be dragged
into the arrangement by her pocket
book rather than by natural lncilna-
ton. England has taken the step Of
renewing trade relations and making
investments in Russia. This reduces
the question from the American busi
ness point CT view to one OF dong as
England has done or letting English
business have the bulk OF the possible
trade with Russia.
England, likewise, has probably ac;-
ed as she has from practical compu!-
sion rather than any friendly feeling
which her, business men or statesmen
may have toward the Russian govern
maht. Her colonial possessions in In
dia, Persia and the Near East are seri-
ously threatened by the success which
tie. Russian agents have had in lining
up the dissatisfied peoples with the
Soviet government. M
- Some military men have declared
that there is no reason why Russia
and her Turkish allies could not take
Constantinople in the near future il
they were to make an effort to do so
The Greek election was another Loss
to- English strength in the Near East
Hence the any practical thing left fol
the English government, unless il
wishes to conduct a major war, is tt
attempt to persuade the Soviet govern
ment to quiet down and leave the East
alone. The effect We means of Persua
sion is the renewal Of trade relations
