in Russia Some time ago l pointed
out the essential conditions for re-
turn to productivity in Russia. That
was not formula: that was not an
artificial conception; that was simply
statement OF fact. Russia needs
credit. but it is idle to expect credit
unless there is basis for credit. That
basis for credit cannot be supplied
from the outside. That basis for cred
it has got to be supplied inside of
Russia.
political recognition follows the
establishment Of a sound basis for
intercourse. Political recognition is
dependent upon the existence of a
government that is competent to dis
charge and shows disposition to
discharge its international obliga-
tions. This whole matter is in the
control Of those who dominate the af-
fairs of Russia. We are most desir-
Gus to do what we can to aid in Rus
sia's recuperation. but they must es-
tablish the basis for such recupera-
tion."

HUGHES DECLARES
Truss MUST QUALIFY
I
First Statement Regarding
Recognition Made by Sec
rotary of State.

, The American government stands
unshaken in it's determination that
Russia must put her own house in
| order before she can expect politi-
| cal recognition by the United States.
Making his first statement of policy
regarding Russian affairs since the
subject came to the fore at Genoa,
Secretary Hughes yesterday told
delegation of women at the State
Department that before any outside
power could resume full relations
| with I.ussia she must herself adopt
a policy of sound internal recon-
struction. He added that the Amer
ican people were anxious to do all
they could, but would not attempt to
extend credit where there was no
sound basis for credit
No particular form of government
was cited as desirable or undesirable
/ by the Secretary, nor did he mention
any of the developments which have
Influenced the fortunes of the soviet
| since the Genoa conference began.
He did suggest, however, that the
principle of self-government in Rus
sia was somewhat complicated" by
the affairs OF some soviet officials to
interfere in the domestic affairs OF
other nations. es~ RI
Peace and Freedom League.
The delegation to which the Sec:
retary addressed his pronouncement
represented the International! League
for Peace and Freedom, and had
brought to the State Department a
petition for full political recogni-
ton of the soviet regime. Secretary
Hughes reply follows:
1T is a great pleasure TO meet you
and to hear you. and I appreciate
deeply the interest that you manifest
in this important problem. 1t is
hardly necessary to refer to the con-
cern that we all feel with respect to
the welfare Of the people of Russia.
Our interest in the people Of Russia
has been manifested in the most un-
nistakable manner, and I do not
think that 1t requires any statement
at this time to indicate how anxious
the economic power Of the Russian
people. and for their well being in
every way.

CITY CHURCHES.

Churches are doing more than formerly In the

the work might be expanded.
If every church would have committee of
pleasing young and women to visit the
boarding houses in the vicinity Of the church
and invite the persons thus personally reached
to social affairs Of the church, It could add much
to it's good work.
Most young young folk from small cities and
villages miss oompanionship.
Most of them welcome an opportunity TO meet
the right kind of youth.
Back home most of those who have become
city-dwellers, either belonged to a church or
were Interested in church. N
In the bigger city, because they strangers
they do not know anyone in a church. SO they
fail to attend church services, and in this way
miss announcements which would acquaint them

" course they marry for love,

what really is in the back of their
minds when they pick the man

The religionist will say it is all
part of Gods plan, and girls
marry as part of divine pag-
eantry in which they play lovely

marry because they are animals

reproduce their kind.
In Paris ninety-five girls were
asked why they wanted to marry.
The surprising thing is that all
did actually wish to marry. In
America half of them would have
said they had no intention of do
Ing such thing. But these Pa
risian girls failed, every one of
them, to say a word about hus-
bands. To each one, apparently,
husbands were merely means to

privileges married women have of

YEARS ADDED TO THE LIFE SPAN,

Since 1909 according TO the findings Of the
American emergency councils committee on
elimination OF waste in industry, the duration
of life has heightened by five years and the
nation has benefited to millions OF dollars by
lessened disability and sickness. There is stiil
a standing sick list OF 2,400 5000 persona but
this is a marked reduction from the 900 600 OF
1909 The Improvement is due. not to any physi
cal advance of the race, but to "a mitigation of
the struggle for existence and a protection of
the community from communicable disease" A
survey of five basic industries shows that the
average individual now loses only seven days
annually from sickness as compared with thir.
teen days In 1909.

Great Need
of America

says DR.. Robert Simpson
Woodward, who recently resigned
as president of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition.
He sees the essential virtues
practiced by our forefathers in
building up this great country
industry, thrift, loyalty-as being
almost destroyed. He finds the
quality of the work given by
labor has greatly declined. The
one bright spot that he sees in
the present sky is the great inn
petus to science, for which he pre-
diets most brilliant future in
new worlds of progress.
There is no pessimism in stat
ing that we are living in an epoch
of lowered ideals, weakened mo-
rale, license supplanting true free
dom, lessened respect for law
an abnormal period. 1t would be
grim, black pessimism, hopeless
and helpless, if we accepted pres
ent conditions as right and nor
NAL.
With all due respect for science,
its marvels, its brilliant discov-
cries and the good it has done to
the world, it is a poor compensa-
tion for the lowered morale of
people. If all science went on
strike and did not do a stroke of
work for fifty years, we could still
live fine, healthy, happy lives for
ourselves and the world, just as
truly as though science we're
working overtime.
What we hear on all sides is:
l"Conditions are bad, of course,
but they are always so after a
war. They will adjust them
selves, they will work themselves
OUT
Things that are wrong do not
adjust themselves; we have to ad-
just them; they do not work them
selves right, we have to work
them right.

cerned. They do not calmly sub

not say, "Oh, don't worry, it will
run its course"
Every individual realizes it as
a personal menace, he uses every
precaution against it and if, de-
spite this, he becomes a victim, he
seeks every means, at the earliest
moment, to lessen its hold upon
him. He does this for himself
and for all who are near and dear
to him.
