u. s. VIII Go SLOU
on Foreign Policy

Continued from Page One
those who fear bolshevism as n sign
that the dangers of revolution in Europe
have not yet passed. The pressure Of
the Allies on Germany for reparation
may cause trouble there.
The difficulty which the administra
tion faces in Russia is the same as that
which it faces everywhere in Europe.
The whole situation there is in state
of flux. The administration is moving
slowly with regard TO steps which may
make toward stabilizing Europe, and
there is every reason to believe that it
will move equally slowly with regard to
re establishing trade with Russia.
There Is no doubt that the sentiment
here generally is opposed to following
England's lead in regard to Russia.
Bolshevism is just as much hated and
feared as ever. The argument Is made
that trade agreement with Russia.
though not formally a recognition of the
Soviet Government. il step in tha,
direction; that it will strengthen the
hands of Lenine and perhaps enabl!
him to continue in power.
Two Theories on Russia
On the other hand it is urged ina,
with England. Germany. Italy and
Japan entering into trade with Russia
nothing is to be gained by this coun-
try's holding out. The question now
whether trading with Russia will aid
the BOlshevik regime or gradually lead
't) the Russians becoming less radical
is sure to be tested in any event with
various European powers trading with
Russia.
Europe. except France. has definitely
abandoned ifs tactics Of starving out
bolshevism. There have always been
twG views on this question, One was
that bolshevism could be suppressed by
treating Russia as beyond the pale
The other wa that this show of en-
nifty made the Russia peasant believe
that foreign powers would rcsrUi. czar-
ism and bring back the old aristocrats
and idlers and thus kept the peasants
true to Lcnine. Resumption of trade
with Russia. according to this view,
would lead the peasants 10 reject Le-
nine and communism. This admins
tration will probably wait and see
The first reaction to the news that
Russia has asked for trade agreement
and that Secretary Hughes was in
clined To see advantages in such an
agreement has plainly been seen.
No Big Demand for Russian Trade
Newspapers reaching here today give
no indication of any large demand
among the business interests for trade
with Russia. Certain manufacturers of
railroad supplies and of agricultural
machinery hope to see trade resumed,
seeing opportunities in supplying the
railroads and farms of Russia. But
bankers are not excited over the posi-
bilities Of development in the land of
Lenine and foreign trade people gener-
ally see larger possibilities elsewhere.
The general belief is that Secretary
Hughes inclines toward reopening trade,
but no one here, knows how strong the
opposition in influential quarters will
be. And the administration, being un,
der no pressure from business interests,
will not be in hurry to act. The world
situation is. however aside from de-
velopments like those in Hamburg max
ing for trade arrangements.

derness Found In East

Washington, March 24.--Tbe biblical
story of the feeding of the children Of
Israel upon mama from heaven during

form of dew during the months of Sep
tember. October and November, and
lodges upon the leaves of oak trees. 1t
Immediately hardens and assumes the
form of a grain. Early in the morning
before the heat Of the day it is gathered
BY spreading sheets beneath the trees.
The mama falls on other vegetation
including grass, but all ia lost except
that which is gathered from the oak
leaves.

Captain Ryder of the Machine Gun

The company has four machine guns
which will be fired singly and in bat

be made to faithfully reproduce war
time conditions. The machine guns will
be mounted in nests, effectualy camou-

under cover of a machine gun barrage
and regular ammunition will be used.
The machine gun company is being

Of putting every man in 4 first class
condition for the annual encampment

TO fall down this year.
The exhibition will be extremely in
