Cleaning Up After the War

Demagogues and partisans quick to

countered by the Republican administration at Wash

quarters make the people think that the Republican
president the Republican is making failure
lof its undertakings, and that the nation made great
mistake in keeping the Democratic party IN power
Such effort will not find favor with reasonable

1t is also fair and truthful statement say that
in the few weeks that the Harding administration has
been in power it has accomplished important
steps toward getting the back to the normal
basis of peace.
1t is to be expected tiat the demagogues and

The Demand Upon Russia

1t is hard to tell what soviet means, says al
eminent authority, because ''soviet means something
different every few days This is more than ever rue
at the present when events in Russia are moving
RAPIDLY toward the collapse of the communist regime ana
its replacement by civilized form OIL govern
ment.
The plea for aid the starving Russian people ana
the counter demand for the release of Americans heo
prisoner in that country may well be significant ne
dents marking the turn from radical revolution 10 a
restoration not of the old Russian ogarchy that VIII
never come back but to a government that Will be
recognized by the great nations of the world and that
will give to the Russian people the and order that
has so long been denied to them.
1t is to be presumed that Secretary Hughes would
NOT have made this demand for the release of the
American prisoners unless he had known the con-
SEQUENCES Either he must have a definite assurance
that there will be favorable response. else he must
have definite plan for enforcing his demand in of
refusal The former theory is much probable and
the prospect opened thereby is hopeful:
For if the soviet authorities have reached the point
where they willing to yield to an American demand
for the release of American prisoners, in order that
they may obtain American relief for starving Russians
beginning has been made of negotiations that may
tend to resumption of the full measure of diplomatic
relations between tn government Of Russia and the gov
ernments of the other nations.
BY this time the people of Russia. in spite of their
colossal ignorance should have learned and their rulers
should be compelled to admit. that it impossible for
any nation to continue exist in defiance of the pub
lie opinion of all civilized nations establish itself
upon foundation that violates the principles of rea
son. Justice and humanity.

Washington. ID. c, July 25.-A new
exhibit in the National museum dis
plays samples of the lightest wood
known-balsa-
A beam OF balsa yard long. three
by four inches thick is lying on the
table. You bend to pick 1t up, pre-
pared for its ligh,ness Yet the sen
sation OF finding beam OF wood no
heavier than a fairly heavy book takes
you by surprise. II recalls the fake
weights which comedians lift with
so much elaborate effort in the vaude-
VILE skits. A tag says that the beam
weights i.S pounds.
In tho tropics where balsa grows.
men carry long thick trunks OF balsa
trees without the effort necessary in
hauling other logs. Balls, is only about
half as heavy as cork. which we re-
gard as a symbol OF lightness.
Near the beam in the exhibit is a
box about a foot long and a little less
in height and width. This box, too,
Is surprisingly light. But that Is not
it's most interesting feature. II Is an
ice cream container The label eN-
plains that one quart OF ice cream Will
remain Arm in this box for Ave hours
with an outside atmospheric tcmpsra-
ture OF rs degrees. In other words. a
box OF this wood Is sort Of iceless

insulating properties.
