selfishness unworthy of America, and unreasonable
besides They surmise that governments which
have given de facto recognition to the Russian
soviet will not be inclined to share any spos with
a country that avoids responsibility and risk, and
that the Russians will resent any attempt to dictate
the kind of government they shall choose and with
whom they shall do business This is unwarranted,
This government" says Secretary Hughes "anx-
ious to do all In its to promote the welfare
of the Russian people, percelves that economic
restoration cannot be secured until adequate ac-
ton Is taken on the part of those chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for Russias economic disorders. 1t is also the
view of this government that nothing should be done
looking to the obtaining of economic advantages
in Russia which would impair the Just opportuni-
ties Of others but that the resources of the Rus
sian people should be free from such exploitation
and that fair and equal opportunity in their inter-
est, as we'll as in the interest of all the powers
should be preserved"
Mr.. Hughes is not concerned about securing OPP
portunty for Americans to exploit the Russians on
any terms He Is concerned lest ambitious govern
ments and peoples tie Russia to themselves that
the Russians will not have equal opportunity In the
world markets and will be hampered In re-estab
fishing themselves economically. Americans might
be at a serious disadvantage were some other
try group Of countries to secure exclusive prvi
leges in Russia, but the greater injury would be
done the Russians who would be deprived of the
right of buying and selling where the greater ad-
vantage would accrue to themselves.
Mr. Hughes Just contention is in the interest Of
the Russians. The principle he advances is that of
the open door" and he favors its adoption with
respect to Russia from the same motives that have
impelled Americans to favor the open door" in
China. II the principle Of special interests In Rus
STA is admitted there will grow up the same condi-
ton menacng world peace that was created in
China. Mr. Hughes attitude with respect to Rus
STA is consistent with American policy with respect
to China.

AUTO INDUSTRIES FUTURE.

After careful investigation. Automotive Indus
tries announces there in in the world u $780,
949 motor and trucks, of which 10 sos, $50
are in the United States Somebody then inquiries
il the saturation point has not been about reached
in America, implying that the great industry which
grew almost magcally may have attained the posi-
Bile peak" Leaders of the business do not hesi-
tate to declare that are far from the saturator
point, and popular opinion in the groove.
An average of motor vehicle to each ten persons
is far below what this country will have in a very
short time. unless all indications prove unreliable.
But If the total number were not largely increased
the building industry would not be seriously at
fected. The demand for requirements would keep
it going to present capacity An then consider the
foreign field
Canada has 46344S motor vehicles. or approx
mately one to 20 inhabitants. The general cond-
tons In the dominion being comparable TO those in
this country, we may expect the Canadians to equip
themselves with pleasure and business vehicles
the same scale supplied. good deal
of this business will naturally to the United
States. European countries are decidedly backward
in utilizing automobiles. Great Britain has but
497, $50, according to the tabulation made one
to about 30 inhabitants, and France las about half
as many the British Isles. Belgium reports
$4,000 and Holland 1880, small numbers for their
populations. Other countries of Europe, Africa and
the South American lands have yet manifested
relatively little interest in motor vehicles. They
will come into the market at later period but de-
mand, from the densely populated areas should pick
up rapidly with improvement of economic cond,.
lions generally. The motor meets every require.
ment Of short-haul business.
The United States should have big share OF the
foreign business because we make better cars at
lower unit costs than any other people can. While
our automobile industry cannot be described as In
