a CONSISTENT ADMINISTRATIONS

wv HEN the Genoa conference was called it
wv became apparent that the Russian ques-
ton would be the paramount subject of discussion;
in other words that the conference would be polit-
ical rather than economic. The United states de-
clined participate in those Deliberations Tor
that reason The soundness of that position was
strikingly EN- Emphasized when it was disclosed at
the conference that secret treaty had been made
between Germany and Russia tending to set at
naught any efforts the Allies might make Tor a
general understanding in Europe. The Willingness
of this country to contribute to the economic wei
fare of Europe has been demonstrated on occa-
sions too numerous to mention, but it is no true
American who would wish to see his country IN
volyed political chickering's such as featured the
Genoa meeting.

the revelations of the Genoa conference before
them President Harding and Secretary Hughes dld
not hesitate in framing their reply to the allied
invitation to The Hague meeting was an IN
equivocal No, coupled with reiteration of the
American attitude regarding Russia. 1t is true
that the United States indicated willingness to
join the allied governments in arranging TOT an
inquiry by experts into the economic SITUATION IN
Russia and the necessary remedies But of course
participation such inquiry is totally differ
ent from representation in The Hague parleys The
one would be merely to assemble facts while the
other will be an attempt to act upon such nforma-

Consistency is one of the prime virtues OF the
present National Administration Every voter in
the country knows just where President Harding
stands today upon any subject upon winch ne mas

Berton Braley's Poem,

Il hate to leave a party
When the fun is gay and hearty.
Though it's time for me to blow
For / love TO get full measure
of enjovment&and of pleasure
And I cannot bear to go;
And might find out, thereafter.
That I'd missed lot of daughter
AS the later moments passed,
So never take such chances
With the dinners or the dances
But I stay until the last!
When a party seems to fiivver
And it's bleakness makes me
shiver,
Still somehow hate to quit;
Though in deepest gloom I'm
cropping,
None the less I keep on hoping
That things may chirk up a Bit:
Though the party is a glum thing,
Someone might perhaps start
something
Which would make the evening,
Id be mighty sore, dog-gone t
If hadn't been in on it III
So of course I always stay
