FRANK n. SIMoNDs.

The decision in the matter of trad.
ing with Bolshevist Russia might
well be described as the opinion oi
the American court written by Judge
Hughes. 1t is one more interesting
and conclusive evidence of the
fact that the new Secretary OF
State is a decisive force in the
making of the foreign policy of the
new administration and not, as
Washington gossip has character
istically hinted. window DIRE ssing'
for a merely political cabinet.
Judging from the course OF
events up to the present moment
il is fair to assume first, that
Mr.. Hughes will be Secretary OF
State and second he may easily
prove one of the few great secre.
taries in our history. Clarity OF
vision and expression and decision
he has certainly shown in recent
instances. which are at the leas,
indicative of what is to come.
Russian Trade Termed Bunk.
Looking at the Russian case for
a moment. there is obviously jus,
this to be said. Everyone knows
that there is no trade to be had
in Russia. The whole discussion
of trading with Russia is, in pure
American. no more than obvious
bunk" What is real in the situa-
ton is the hunt for concessions
We are seeing the beginning of a
gigantic scramble for the loot OF
the Russian Empire. Lloyd George
has surrendered to two influences
the Labor group. which has used
Russia as a campaign issue. and
the financial groups which have
looked to Russia as the promised
land"
There was danger. there-is, per-
haps. still danger, that the United
States may be stampeded into a
in this scramble. but
Mr. Hughes, fully supported. one
may conjecture, by Hoover, has
momentarily prevented the stam-
peding of the American government

A Man Afoot Protests.
He Objects to Blaming Pedestrians
When Motor Cars Hit Them.

To THE NEW York HERALD: There
is truly remarkable unanimity among
the gentlemen who break into print on
the subject Of automobile accidents in
blaming pedestrians for those mishaps
to the tune of 80 per cent.
Do these gentlemen carry about them
some comptometer which keeps count
besides differentiating between accidents
so nicely?
The fact OF the matter is the law gov
erning the right OF way at street cross
ings Is no longer enforced. for the law
distinctly says that the pedestrian has
the right of way over all vehicles while
he is on the cross walk.
1t is also a fact that our busy streets
are being used as speedvsays. which they
were never intended for.
Considering the Importance which is
attached to automobilists by our public
officials 1t is safe to say that these
gentlemen will never be curbed unless
the majority OF the population. which
has been inarticulate on this serious
subject up to date. acts as one man
and enforces the basic law.

A Commerce Commission Need.

For half year member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission who
has been doing valuable and urgently
needed work has been doing it as an
nd interim appointee without con-
firTation by the Senate. He is HENRY
JONES FoRD, whose opinion on the
New York intrastate fares and rates
case. while winning him high profes-
sional commendaton for his knowl-
edge and treatment of the subject,
also attracted national attention.
1t seems TO us II would be IA timely
and fitting act for the Senate at this
start of the new year to confirm Mr.
Ford in the post he Is so admirably
filling. The country should be as
sured Of a continuance OF his able
services, particularly at a .iuncture
when the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is undermanned overworked
and facing more and heavier labors
than at any previous period of its
history.
