From Other Viewpoints
hussia's Economic Importance.
ny WILLIAM &. REDFII:I.D.

There are several points of view from wa:.,
l'usaia and America are Neutrality-suspicious. in such
way indeed AZ TO concern every on. a. ~.
in his personal life.
We may first consider it a general matter
one acre out OF six on this round eiooc is a
RUSSIAN acre. one man or woman out of ei.;h.
human souls in this world is an nhabitant of
Russia. ThGrc Is. therefore. too much of i;Is-
STA and there are too many Russians 10 make
II sensible 10 ignore ii or them. That people
form TOO large factor in human life to make
indifference either sane or safe. Their iniiu-
ence for i'll or good is too great make il
possible to regard them as something apar.
with which we have little to do.
The Russian people are the largest un.; OF
white mankind No two other white lions
occupy together so large or so rich domestic
area. Our own great area, including Alaska
would be but an island in the Russian terri
tory and the population of Great Britain and
France added TO our own would exceed but
little the number of those who are ruled
by l.cnin and Trotzky. Russia therefore must
interest America because she forms so large a
part OF this world In which we both must
needs live together.
Again we may consider Russia as a n irnmc-
date problem with specific relations to our
own domestic and business concerns. And here
the subject touches each OF us closely. 1t en-
tcrs into our homes and affects all person
ally and directly. Whether we remember II or
not the Russian problem was with US at our
breakfast table and Will be close at hand when
we sit down TO dine in the evening. II was
so yesterday and Will he tomorrow Nay
most OF us in our own proper persons liv-
ing cXamplars that the Russian problem is
