The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1922-04-27

Congress has been unresponsive re-
garding all post mortems concern
ing the war.
The legislative bodies have taken
the position that the executive branch
es Of the Government, particularly
the Department Of Justice, should
handle the cases, and make wholesale
arrests, if there are as many "war
crooks" as one hears about in Wash
ington.
Congress is a particularly busy or
ganization. and the attention of
both Houses is riveted on stupendous
Governmental problems. 1t is only
when business is dull that Congress
takes kindly to holding "investiga-
tions."
Doubtless the old saw that "there
can be no great smoke arise, but there
must be some fire." can be applied to
the activities of Congressman john
son and Woodruff. Even so, Con-
gress is likely to "duck" the re-
sponsibility that these well-meaning
Congressman are trying to impose
on it.
THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR
Russia has one of the finest En-
bassies in the National Capital. AL
though Russian diplomacy is about
as popular as hair shirt withs the
American Administration, its AM
bassador lives in the heart of the
town and in the "spot of the light"
Senator Borah started something"
when he issued summons for AM
bassador Bakhmeteff to testify re-
garding his knowledge of General
Semenoff, the Russian Cossack, whose
entrance into this country has stirred
up a storm Of protest. Bekhmeteff
claimed immunity, and the State De-
partment supported him in his re-
fusal. This particular Russian Am
bassador arrived in Washington un-
der the regime of Kerensky. He is
handsome, some say cleve-and he
cut big dash in the part he played
in Saving Russia" following the
fight of the Gear. Although the
Kerensky government ceased five
years ago, Bakhmeteff has held on.
When his title was challenged Secre-
tary of State Hughes protected him.
Bakmeteff isn't much of an Ambas-
sador, but Mr.. Hughes says he re-
presents Russia-and according to
all precedents that should settle it.
The present soviet government of
RussiS disclaims Ba4meteff, and
might hang him if he went home. But
Mr.. Hughes recognizes Bakhmeteff
and ordinarily that would protect
the sacred Ambassadorial halo. Sen
ator Borah excerpts to Secretary
Hughes position. Gwen if Mr..
Bakhmeteff was once an Ambassa-
DOR" says Mr.. Borah, when he be-
gins to counsel and harbor a MUIR
derer it is time to terminate what
ever status he may have had or may
have"
