CFrom the New York Tribune.).

A special virtue in the redefinition
OF Americas Russian policy which
has come from Messrs. Hughes and
Hoover, is that It is put forward un-
| der circumstances that forbid sup
preston of its circulation.
Our government has long been
saying what it now says. We stand
in the presence Of no novelty. The
simple doctrine, abundantly sup
ported, that the source of Russia g
troubles is within her own borders
and that they flow inevitably from
the sort of government Russia has
and the economic system imposed on
her is a commonplace. Equally COM
monplace is the deduction that It is
futile to talk OF extending credit or
building up trade while this system
dominates.
Russias 13OOOO,OOO are tyranni-
cally ruled by a gang Of about 2OO,-

natics. The regime they have estab-
lished by force has throttled produc-

Every one is acquainted with them.

declaratory, testified TO by every
species OF observer and substantially
admitted by Lenine himself.
But It has suited some. apparent
ly TO serve political ends or to keep
from acknowledging the collapse of
preconceived ideas, to ignore the
facts. Lloyd George. whose courage
and skilful resourcefulness have
won the worlds admiration, found
himself assailed by combination Of

nave the spirit OF the Roman aristo-
Gratis who delighted in stroking the
muscles of the gladiators of the
Caesars. So Mr.. George brushed
the facts aside. He didn't want to
talk about them.
Now Mr.. Hughes has used a meg
aphone for his facts, and the OBJ
vious conclusion TO be drawn from
them can no longer be ignored. Eu-

Bolshevism must go before there
is any comback in Russia. The
only question to be settled is whether
Bolshevists are good instruments TO
effect the expulsion. Some say they
are-that Russia is to be cured by
doses OF the hair OF the dog that bit
her. Perhaps the Bolshevists are ca
pable of reversing themselves in this
manner, but to many It seems con-
trary 20 common sense.
As to what element in Russia Of
fers the best hope Of restoring her
Mr.. Hughes expresses no opinion.
But It takes some power OF imagin-
alton TO see him vigorously cham
pioning the idea that the Bolshevist
group can now be relied on to sting
their system to death. But this issue
he is not called on to decide. The
first thing is to have universal
agreement as to the nature of Rus
sia's disease. Diagnosis precedes
writing a remedial prescription.

reduction is due solely 10 the re-
markable efforts and success at
tending the efforts Of our Nolun-

do not ask for n cent in salary.
They do not ask for special privi-
leges, honor, or material recogni-

that we give them recognized equip
