One Battleship.

IF AMERICANS are still Americans if this is
i still the United States if this generation is
to the history of country, President Hard
ing could do nothing more popular than recommend
in his forthcoming message appropriation to save
the starving of Russia. Waiter L. Brown head of
the American Relief Corporation estimates that
S5oooo.ooo will save all those who can be reached.
This is the cost of bateship and its feed
the hungry will be far better and effective
prevention of war than feet of battleships
No other nation will wantonly attack country
that its wealth in this way and the people of
other countries will not make those who care
for the starving rather than build navies. This is
not sentiment; it is human nature which is not so
bad statesmen often paint it and which would
be heap better, if not so often misled by that
same brand of craftsmanship. Mr.. Browns organ
ization is feeding 100000 Russian children and
this number will be increased to 100000. The A..
R. c. has completely the Russian local and
Soviet government, quite great an accomplish
ment as that of feeding the children. The same
organization could at expand to include the
adults.
He also suggests that this $50 100000 could be
advanced loan to the famine stricken provinces
in proportion the need, the total be indorsed
by the central government, These provinces
among the richest in natural resources Of all Rus
sia They wonderfully productive normally, of
all foods and have other natural wealth when they
are not hampered by debts: Such a loan would be
a comparatively small obligation for them to meet
as provinces and it would be of character no
people would default
Neither would its Endorsement by the Soviet
government be recognition of the Soviet as
government. The loan would be to the provinces
and the Endorsement would be matter rather be-
tween them and Moscow, than between Moscow
and Washington. But be that as it may or whether
the loan was repaid, this is not time for
qubble when millions upon millions starve and
this is the only country from which there is pos
sible hope OF succor. At least it would not form
a surrender of any part of sovereignty nor set
up a ergovernment, to monkey with our beloved
Constitution
Avoiding these two chief horrors of the Senate
chamber of international horrors, it would be but
the humane>use of money easily afford to
venture on such an errand of mercy. Let it come
at the Christmas Let it be visit of the
Chris-child to the patiently hopeless of Russia Let
it be great flaming gude-light for the conference
to limit armament and promote peace. Let it be
the distlnctively American act of Americans to
preserve >the peace of the world not by wrecking
batteships, but by wrecking that heart attitude
which produces batteships. Ts
