when we recognized Kolchak.
Logically II is impossible for US 10

him to spend for general expenses

Logic on Vacation.
Logic perhaps had little hurdle
during the period when Nj. Bakhm.>.
tev recognized Kolchak as his chief,
but why bother about such intrica-
cies when you know perfectly we'll
that II is all bunk. and that all these
principles are merely war-cries TO
down Communist movement?
In Russian policy we are little
more than a tail to the Paris kite.
In Paris Russia is represented by
the Big Five-Sazonov. Lvov. Makla-
kew, and Chaikovski.
From Paris radiates the extensive
effort to use the farmer to control
the political development of Russia.
Back In June the Soviet officials an
nounced interference as due from
France and America. The French
interference Is now frankly avowed.
In July the Polish Parliament sane
| toned a treaty with Rumania con-
| tanning this clause:
| Poland and Rumania undertake
to give each other support IL either
OF them is attacked, without provo
cation, on It's eastern frontier. II
| either OF the two powers is the VIC
tim of such an unprovoked attack
the other shall declare itself at war
and give armed support to the party
attacked"
French Dominate.
Both Poland and Rumania are in
the sphere of French influence, and IL
will never be difficult to find an I'M
provoked assault, or mysterious plans
for an unprovoked assault, when such
| phenomena fit in with the general
French-American plans.
| The insistence of he French on
| larger forces in Silesia is aimed in
part at Germany, but also without
doubt in part at Russia.
And the two things run together In
the French governmental mind. Their
press is full of charges about Anglo
German plans for business i'm Russia.
The French find something malign in
| the informal cooperation of GERMANY
and England to furnish Russia what
she needs.
II seems to be a crime for Germany
to establish a shipping line to Petro-
| grad, just as Ii is crime for Great
| Britain to trust to normal business
evolution away from the extremes of
| communism, instead of plotting and
plotting, like France, for an overthrow,
or waiting and waiting, like the United
| States, for the same overthrow.

Burke Began Things.
When Burke induced England to
take the lead in putting down the
French revolution, he brought about
twenty years of war, forty years of re-
dictionary politics in Great Britain, and
a military system that brought about
the war Of 1870 and the war of 1914.
and the situation we are now enjoy
ing.
Had the allied armies succeeded in
1898 in getting to Paris they would
have had no alternative, as Trevelysn
puts it, but to allow the emigres TO
establish the ancient regime.
And when, under the guise of
helping against famine, France and
America got to Moscow there is every
indication that a great, imperaliistic
Russia, made safe for the pre-war
definition .of property, will be ushered
In by us and our noble allies.
1t will be done under the guise of
morality, of saving civilization, par
ticulsrly, of saving Russia. The
Pharisees are not all dead. For peo-
pie to differ from us Is wrong. Every
