President Harding.
Around the Capitol there is talk OF the moment
when those circles came to appreciate the sena-
tor from Ohio as a Presidential candidate.
The consensus OF opinion is that he got his
first closeup as a star late in December. 1919.
Harry Daugherty came down from Ohio with
delegation of st8lwarts to urge Mr.. Harding to
become q candidate.
The Senate was in session and LaFollette of
Wisconsin making one OF his meaty speeches.
The visitors were shown into that historic Mar

is but a hallway and swinging doors separating

When Lord Baltimore settled Maryland he ap-

his seven sons instead.
These sons settled around what is now Wash
ington and many of them and of their immediate
descendants were buried in Rock Creek Cemetery
which is now in the midst OF Washington. Then
the family scattered out over the great expanse
OF a growing nation.
When the first troops, bound for France.

Sane Policy Is to Deal With
Russia in Friendly Manner

equipment, failed to do, this derided
Soviet government has done.
Without an army to begin with,
without navy, without proper ar
tillery or aircraft, without railway
equipment, without food enough for
its soldiers and people, without sea-
ports or communications with the
rest of the world, the Soviet govern
ment has beaten every army sent
against Russia by the Allies, and
has finally compelled England and
France to lift the blockade with
which they have been trying to
starve the Russian people into sub
mission for more than three years.
Now, to say that "a government
which has accomplished such pro
digious military and political results
as, these is not competent to recon-
struct the economic wreck of Russia
is to assume altogether too much
prophetic infallibiIty.
Mr.. Hoover does not know
whether the economicJsystem of the
Soviet government will work sue
cessfully or will fail altogether.
Neither do we know. Neither does
anyone else know. T.
Time is the tribunal which will
decide that question. No other vel
dict is worth the breath spent in
nttering it.
If the economic system of the So,
Wet Republic is unsound, it will fail,
without attack from the outside.
If the system is economically
sound, it will prevail, and no hos
tility from the outside will hinder
it's permanence and power in Russia
The people of Russia have en-
dured four hundred years of abon.-
Unable tyranny. Nothing the Soviet
system can do to them can possibl!
be as bad as the political and eco
nomic oppression of the czars.
They are peculiarly situated to
make trial of the theory of collectiv
ism because, if it fails, they are no
worse off than they have always
been, and if it succeeds, they will BE-
the pioneers of new age.
The sensible thing to do is to le:
the Russian people alone to work
out their own salvation, to treat
them in friendly way, to exchange
goods with them freely, and to prove
to them that our own economic and
political systems are better than
theirs by the simple and sane proc
ess of showing better results under
our system than they are able to
show under their system.
There is so much room and so
much necessity for good sense, rea-
sonableness and friendliness in our
relations with the new Russia thai
it is surprising and painful to hear
public men still advocating susp;-
cion, denunciation, hatefulness and
non-intercourse as the proper Amer
lean demonstrations toward a people
who, whether wisely or unwisely.
are bravely struggling to find the
political and economic system best
fitted to promote their happiness
and liberties.
We are very sorry to see Mr..
Hoover taking the same mistaken,
attitude that Mr.. Wilson assumed
and maintained.
But it is perhaps what was to be
expected from Wilson man in a
Republican Cabinet.

KR. HOOVER argues that
L" trade with Russia should not

- >
be resumed because Russia
has only small stock of gold and
not much in the way of surplus
products to exchange for American
goods or money.
Mr.. Hoover points to the fact that
production of goods has fallen off
greatly in Russia under Soviet rule,
and assumes from this fact that pro-
duction can never increase under
Soviet rule.
1t is rather surprising that Mr..
Hoover does not see that his argu-
ment against trading with Russia
applies equally to other nations.
Mr.. Hoover knows, of course, the
financial and economic conditions in
Poland. He knows that they are
even worse than the conditions in
Russia. Poland is bankrupt, Poland
is hungry, Poland has neither gold
nor any great amount of goods.
Production of goods in Poland has
enormously fallen off during it's
period of independence under it's
republican form of government.
If Mr.. Hoover's reasons for Op-
posing trade with Russia are sound,
then we ought not to permit trade
with Poland.
If the fact that production has
decreased in Russia under the Soviet
government proves that production
cannot flourish under the Soviet
form of government, then, logically,
the decrease of production under the
present government Of Poland proves
that production cannot flourish un-
der a republican form Of govern
ment.
The truth is that in Russia, as in
Poland, in Austria and, to lesser
extent, in Germany, the wreck of
production is the inevitable result
of war, blockade and defeat.
No other country has had to en-
dure anything like the prolonged
misery which Russia has so remark
ably stood up against.
The Car and his generals
slaughtered the Russian soldiery
literally, by millions. For three years
Russia outdid any other of the al
lied nations in sacrifice. Then the
tormented and desperate people
forced their leaders to make peace
at any cost. And ever since, the
allies, in whose cause seven million
Russians died, have made one mill
tary attack after another upon Rus
sia, have fomented one factiOnal
revolution after another, and
have imposed upon Russia the
hunger blockade which broke the re-
sistance of Germany, but which has
not broken the stubborn endurance
of the Russian people.
No form of government ever
known could have kept up the pro
duction of Russia or maintained
anything resembling normal condl-
tons. in Russia under the wars and
the blockades which have been car
ried on against that distressed and
harried country for now nearly
seven years.

all their courage, skill and warlike
