THE RUSSIAN SOVIET.

Conservative order-loving people in | this country refused to take any stock, at first, in the reports of various in- dividuals returning from Russia that | they had seen some good in the things being attempted there. Such people and they were in the majority and probably are in the majority still preferred to believe the statement of men such as the avowed Socialist thinker who, with his wife, went to that country to learn more and to
 bring his information back to the
 United States. He was loud in his
 denunciation of conditions under the
 Soviet regime.
 Now, hestatingly perhaps, men and women are coming to see that there
 is the germ of something better at work in Russia. As stated yesterday the peasants have their land, the Workingmen are in control of the factories and are not "at outs" with private ownership to such degree that there remains no possibility of harmony, and the soldiers are happier and their attitude more that of hu- man being than in former years.
 Today comes the information that the American government, noting the changes in the Russian policy, have admitted to the United States Rus sian agent to buy grain for Russian relief activity. Possibilities are seen by Washington, it is asserted.
 Admitting that the Russian people are being treated quite like children; that they have little more than the shadow of power in determining pol icies and in electing their representa- tives, it seems possible that the writ CTS who have pointed out the good wrong. If the desires of the leaders are, as some declare them to be, 'ioiiiSiS eo SiNt tilt ptoplt power 6S they learn how to use that power, and if the ''children" do not rise up and insist upon using their strength before they are quite wise enough to use it for the benefit of all and not without thought of their duty to the rest of the world, there may come after all, satisfaction to lovers of lib- erty and peace and there may come full recognition of Russia. This and other countries may see, when it is proven true, that the Soviet govern ment does represent the people for which this country has waited before granting the desired recognition.

erned by the attitude of tho Chamber of Deputies, strongly nationalist and supporters of Poincare. Were 1t not for the popular feeling against the latter for the office of Premier he would in ull probability be in the pc stion Of nriand today }riand real izes that his agreement to the plan would be worthcssi by it he would almost automatically lose his office and the agreement would amount to nothing unsupported hy the Chamber Of Deputies.
 Into the discussion, difficult as it has been and is, comes now thought adding to tho complications and clouding the consideration of the pcrpIeAng matters already awaiting decision, It Is minated that France would not be averse to allowing the submarine strength to remain as 1t Is providing Great Britain, Italy and Germany agree with her to treaty, similar 10 the four power pact, which would guard the peace of European waters, Such treaty, the French ru- nor has it, would not bar the United States and Japan if they desired to become cipants-something quite out of the question now as far as we are concerned.
 The situation today has taken q bit of the wind from the sails of the 'in- corrigible optimist" It would seem that there is no way out unless 1t be through another conference, not sev- cn years hence as heretofore suggest ed, but to be held as soon as time has been given to permit of domestic con sideration in each of the countries in- yoIVed. This is the situation today But as the "incorrigible optimist" will not down 1t may be predicted that the developments of the next few days will put different complexion on af- fairs and hope may come again.

THE, NEXT JOB

Christmas over, the next practical matter to attend to is the state of mind people are in. Belief in the op- tinistic predictions is necessary, or at
 east minds open to conviction that such predictions are justified.
 It has been evident that many peo- ple were inclined to take stock in the expressions of hope heard from au- thoritative sources. A good Christmas business and exceeding generosity and thought for others less fortunate were the results, Optimism and confidence are necessary to develop to the great est advantage the signs of encourage ment now to be noted.
 The estimate is made based upon reports to the Census Bureau, that fifty billion dollars worth of goods and manufactured products can be turned out by the mills and factories of this country in 1922. From the same sources come the assertions that
 
 railroad shipments are increasing; that bank clearings are rising in many large cities; that retailers are ordering in larger quantities; department stores report increased sales. Official reports to the Geological survey show the coal output is increasing; manufacture ing concerns are meeting their Federal tax requirements more promptly; there is a greater demand in the money market.-money is being put to work.
 Reports to the Labor department show that unemployment is decreas- ing. Mills and factories are hiring more men and more nearly approach ing full time operation. The average worker, including in the figures unskilled labor is earning more than $1,000 a year as against $500 few weeks ago. The Commerce De- partment record show a steady in- crease in export trade tonnage. Off, Cials of that department state that | sale abroad of 10 per cent of the | nations 1922 output would do away with unemployment completely.
 If crederce is placed in the above | estimates and facts there cannot fall | to come that optimism and confidence which is the oil which will lubricate he country's machinery as It's wheels urn again in manufacturing that de- sired product good times"

NEM HOME-NEM YEAR.

Those connected with the daily preparation and publication of The Herald with the exception of the bus mess office, which remains in it's pres ent quarters until January i, move into the old building, practically made new with a feeling of pride not un- affected by a renewed sense of grave responsibility. They face the coming year as an appropriate time for the birth of a fuller realization of their duty to the paper and their duty to the people whom it informs of the important, interesting or enliGhten- ing events of the city and vicinity, and of the world. The same feeling IS held by members of the business staff, as they watch for the comple- ton of their new quarters,
 To present reports in q manner best calculated to sell a paper, regard less of the accuracy of such detailed facts, is comparatively easy task. To voice opinions that will please all F per's readers at all times would not be difficult Suppression of facts on the one hand and congregation on the other Is the resort of the conscience less. the partial, the one prompted only by ulterior motive. To refrain from criticism, to laud continually are attributes of the sycophant A com bination of these characteristics may bring popularity, temporary and worthless, but upon such unstable foundation there may rest no publi- cation which aims to accomplish and, In the last analysis does bring about betterment of the field which it GOV CTS and spread information and truth l to the individuals within that field.
 To present reports in accordance | with the facts as accurate as it is hu- l manly possible to obtain them; to | publish all the facts without partial | ity, unshaded by the contradictory l rumors which drift into the offices of a newspaper, and to voice opinions l honestly believed to be judicial, is q far more difficult labor.
 It is the latter choice that The Herald made long ago; it is this path | it has tried to follow ever since, and | it is in this straight and sometimes | narrow road it will remain, con- scious of human frailty, but strong in determination.
 In the glance backward and in the vision of the days to come there abide that pride in the past and realization of responsibility for the future.

ENTER FRENCH POLITICS.

It would be disaster indeed if, in
 stead of bringing about a general ces-
 sation of formerly proposed naval
 construction, the conference at Wash
 ington should result in a great race
 among the nations for superiority in
 any branch of building of craft for war purposes. Such, according to the
 latest reports, is not an impossibility.
 Frances refusal to agree to the lim- itation of submarine tonnage of S1,- 900, as proposed, and her further fail ure to set any limitation at all or to indicate her willingness to agree to any limit shows plainly her desire to conference adjourns.
 Granted that the arrangement for the scrapping of capital ships would be great achievement; granted that the four power treaty would work for the benefit of all countries concerned granted these things,the end desired would come far from being achieved were the submarine matters to re- suit in the expenditure of vast sums for the perfecting of this branch of the service.
 The degree to which the develop ment of the submarine might be car ried, regardless of the number built and the total tonnage. may not be es- timated. Germany, for instance, is prohibited from building aircraft pro- pelled by an engine. Immediately she | shows her resource by inyenting and | perfectng to q point where the plane | has flown twenty-four miles, an air flyer which travels with no engine as- | Thus the possibilities of the i submarine are practically unlimited | and those possibilities would be de peloped if this remained the only | branch of naval building unrestricted. and if any nation was inspired by desire to outdo all others in the pow sr Of this outlaw of the seas.
 The political situation in France had much to do with the present com olicated situation. Premier Rriand, t is believed, would not personally present such seemingly insurmount- lble obstacle to some agreement on 1 he submarine question. His actions, however, must of necessity be gov
