BY FRANK sIMONDS.

While the news from Russia
steadily tends to indicate that the
counter-revolution is failing and the
rule of Lenin and Trotzky will sur
vive the present attack, as il has
survived SO many others. the mere
possibility of a return of Russia to a
nationalistic rule has served to start
much specufat:on at the capital.
This speculation naturally turns
upon the relation of a restored"
Russia to the various nations, to
the allies. to the league of nations
and to the United States.
That any new Russia, like the
present Bolshevist Russia for that
matter. will be bitterly anti British
and even more bitterly antiFrench,
is accepted as inescapable. Britain
on the Baltic and France in Po-
land have consented to territorial
changes, which for the Russian pa
triot must seem mutilations of his
country, mutilations made without
regard to Russian interest and
solely in the interest of the COM
mercial or the political considera-
tions of the two countries, who were
once allies of Russia.
British Created States.
1t may be accepted that the new
Russian government is no national
istic state, such as must sooner or
later succeed the present Soviet
regime. will tolerate the separation
Of the three Baltic republics, Esthe-
mia. Latvia and Lithuania from the
Russian State. Conceivably there
will be a Willingness to permit some
form Of federation to cover the local
autonomy of these districts, but in
all essential circumstances Russians
agree that these fragments the
Baltic facade of Russia. must be re-
united to the great Slav country.
The creation of these states having
been a work of British diplomacy,
following the lead of British Indus
try, Russian resentment is bitter.
AS to Poland, Russians assert
Curzon Line, the so-called "Ethnic
and advocated an through the Boil
shevist war Of last summer. But
Poland has now in the armistice of
Riga established her claim to a
frontier far east of the Curzon line,
as well as northward to the Dvina,
wilma, where the dispute
with the Lithuanians still RACES and
this extension of Polish territory
arouses Russian protest and. since
France stands as the champion of
Poland, France is the target of
Russian wrath. Nor does Russian
purpose to restore old frontiers on
the eastern line, far to the south in
Eastern Galicia. In the region of

EXCLUDE LEAGUE,
IS u. S. aim seen
in PANAMA NOTE
Hughes Firm Tone Be-
tokens Confidence in
Settling Disputes.
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

Another move by the Harding ad-
ministration demonstrating its firm
determination to discharge in full
American obligations in the Western
hemisphere. leaving no room for in
terference by the league of nations
in American affairs. was disclosed
yesterday.
Secretary of State Hughes made
public the text of the note he dis
patched Wednesday to Panama. vir-
tually an ultimatum demanding i'm
mediate acquiesence by that republic
in Chief Justice Whites settlement
Of the boundary dispute with Costa
Rica.
1t is the first lengthy note pro-
duced by the new Secretary of State
and embodies a judicial analysis of
the dispute eliminating in the con-
clusion that Panama has not a leg
to stand on in declining to recognize
the White award.
Hughes Paid Tribute.
The document is interesting also
not only as a sample of the legal
arguments to be expected of Mr..
Hughes in international contro-
versies of great moment. but as
illumination of the frequently ex-
pressed opinion of lawyers that
when Mr.. Hughes has stated a case
there is nothing left to be said on
his side of the dispute.
After calling on Panama to pro-
ceed at once to arrange with Costa
Rica for the appointment of an en-
gineering commission to delimit
physically the boundary decreed by
Chief Justice White. Secretary
Hughes concludes his note:
TT is to be hoped that the gov
ernment of Panama will recognize
that motives of true and impartial
friendship for the governments Of
Panama and Costa Rica prompt the
making of these representations to
the government of Panama. The
government of the United States
would view with apprehension a
continuance of this dispute, which
has already given rise to hostilities
with attendant loss of life. IL such
a continuance were caused by the
refusal on the part of the govern
ment of Panama to carry out OBJ
legations which 1t has bound itself
solemnly to perform. This govern
ment, therefore. deems 1t its duty
to ask that the government Of
Panama definitely indicate It's in
tention to comply with the represen-
tations made to it by the govern
mentA of the United States"

LUXURY OUTLAY
BEATS SCHOOLS,
SAYS CLAYTON
More Spent for Pleasure
In Year than for Educa-
tion in History of US.

The people of the United States
spent $4,000. 900. 900 more for-luNu-
ries in 1920 than for education dur
ing the entire history Of the coun-
try.
This remarkable fact Is brought
out in a statemenL issued vest rday
by PhilSnder T. ClsNton. United
States Commissioner Of EduCat ion.
PointinS out that during 1890 lux
ury taxes were paid on --penditures
totaling s22 ZOO. 600. goo. as recently
announced by the Department Of In
ternal Revenue. Dr. ClaNton has as
sembled figures which show that
during the past nifty years only
SIi.552,7s6,0 900 was expended on all
institutions OF learning
Goes Over Past Decades.
For the years preceding 1870 he
estimates the total expenditures at
S2.O93. 900. 900. making a grand total
of sl6.645, 100000. The figures in
clude expenditures for buildings
and equipment. repairs, heating,
lighting and other incidentals, as
well as teachers salaries.
Going further into comparison,
DR.. Clsxton points out that in 1920
the sum of $3.50. O.OoO. .ooo paid for cos
metics, perfumes, etc, is practically
twice as much as the total amount
of salaries paid teachers in public
and secondary schools during the
year. The amount paid for jewelry
was nearly sloo.0oe.0eO more than
the salaries of teachers in elemen-
tary and high schools.
Went Up in smoke.
In 1890" DIR. CIaxton observes,
we blew away in smoke of cigars
and cigarettes more than the total
cost of all education in 1915. The
total cost of tobacco in all it's forms
was five times the total of teachers
salaries and almost exactly the same
as the total cost of elementary and
education for three years
These comparisons may be tedi-
Gus but they are instructive" Dr.
ClaXton continued. These and
other figures. which might be easily
determined, show very clearly that.
compared with other expenditures
public and private, expenditures for
education are negligible.
