ALL EYES ARE
ON HOOSIERS'
SENATE RACE
Washington, From Harding
Down, Watching With
Interest.
ISSUE IS CLEAN CUT

WASHINGTON. April 21.-Politically.
Indiana will become the center OF the
United States within the next few days.
1t will be hat center until after Tues
day. May ,
On that day occurs the primary. at
which will be selected candidates on the
Republican and Democratic tickets for
the United States Senate Harding Ad-
ministratiOn officials from the President
down are watching Indiana and listening
for tidings with extraordinary interest.
This is because Harry S. New. who is
seeking denomination. is politically the liv-
ing personifcation of the Harding Ad
ministraGon. The two men are the closest
personal and political friends. New Is
therefore peculiarly a Harding Repub-
Iican" In this instance. and whatever
happens 10 MIN will be felt in Admins
tration circles to he a strong indication
Of the trend Of popular feeling about
the Harding Administration.
The issue is clean cut in Indiana, be
cause New is opposed by Albert ]. Bev-
eridge. a totally different type. political
ly and personally. Beveridge is a mod
crate progressive-that is. he is not what
would be called a radical Neither is he
in News conservative classification, for
New is one of the old guard in the Sen
ate.
The campaign has been lively. New
went home the other day with this fare
well:
Don't worry. When this primary is
over, you'll know nobody but New has
been running"
His confidence is not entirely shared
by all his friends. Taking the Newberry
case as his reason, Beveridge has been
making public weekly during the cam
paign an itemized expense account for the
week. He invited New to do the same
but the invitation was not accepted.
Harding apparently has taken no part
in the campaign.

Official Text of Reply
From SOviets to
Allies.
MONEY AND GOODS
Reforms Guaranteed
for All Foreign
Capital.

GENOA, Arpil 21.-Russia agrees to
recognize both prewar and war debts,
including those of the Czarist and Ke-
rensky gover nments, and to discuss prop
erty rights of foreigners within her bor-
ders.
In exchange for this she demands rec
cgnition and a loan. This is the official
reply Of the Soviet delegation presented
to the allies.
Russian delegates issued a long mem
orandum, explaining how the economic
conditions in that country are affecting
their actions.
The principle of exploitation Of Rus
sia by outsiders would mean the enslave-
ment OF the Russian laboring masses,
they stated. However, just may be the
claims Of individual foreigners, they are
secondary to European reconstruction and
the betterment Of the masses who toll.
The only means of rapid reconstruc-
tion are long term credits, money and
goods.
The social, economic, executive and
judicial reforms offer more than suffl-
cient guarantees to foreign capital"

GOODRICH
ADVOCATES
RECOGNITION
Lenin and TrOtski Are
in Saddle, He
Says.
VIEWS CHANGING
United States May
Come to Know
SOviets.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Recogni
of the Soviet government of Russia by
the United States, in one form or an
other, Is nearer today than 1t has ever
been.
This statement reflects the views, not
only o. those who have consistently ad
vocated such an American policy, but
also of those who have been most pro-
nounced in their opposition to the Mos
COW soviet and all its works.
While no responsible Administration
official would hazard publicly a predic
tion today of how soon such an event
would take place, 1t was, nevertheless,
admitted privately that the United States
has been brought to the very verge Of
ercognition by the swift moving chain
of events in the past few weeks.
TWO DEVELOPMENTS
CHANGE SITUATION.
Two developments have collaborated
to bring about this situation:
THE Genoa conference, which is
looked on IN Washington, as virtually
certain to bring forth some form of rec
ognition Of Russia by all the principal
powers Of the world.
2. The report brought back to Presi-
dent Harding by ex-Governor James 2.
Goodrich of Indiana, which gave the
Moscow crowd a cleaner bill of health
than anything that has come out of Rus
STA in months.
Mr.. Goodrich reported to President
Harding and to Secretary Of Commerce
Herbert Hoover that the Lenin Trotski
regime is in the saddle. in Moscow, to
stay. There exists little likelihood OF
their being ousted by any of the revolu-
tionary activities within, and their grip
on Russia will not be vitality affected by
anything that comes out of the Genoa
cooking pot.
RUSSIA WINS
IN EITHER CASE
In fact, Mr.. Goodrich is of the opin-
ion that the soviet position will be bet
tered whichever way the cat jumps at
Genoa. A blow up" would result In
equalization Of support behind them.
again the outside capiralistic powers"
while some form of recognition by the
same outside powers would be heralded in
Russia as a soviet vindication.
Mr. Goodrich reported also the soviet
leaders have learned their lessons" and
already have abandoned many of the pol
icies, that made it Impossible for outside
interests to do business with Russia, on
any kind of a stable basis.
In the event that the policy of the Ad-
ministration should be suddenly changed,
1t is probable that recognition would take
the form of extending to Moscow de
facto recognition" This would pave the
way for business relations, without per
manently committing the United States to
full recognition of the Moscow regime as
the regularly established Russian govern
ment
The Goodrich report will be mulled over
in several Cabinet meetings before any
definite action is taken. By that time
the situation at Genoa may have settled
sufficiently to permit officials here to
gauge, with more or less accuracy, the
embryonic policies Of the other world
powers

GERMANY OUT
OF DISCUSSIONS

GENOA. April 21.-Germany, in her re-
ply today to the allied note censuring
her for making a pact with the Russians
accepted expulsion from future Russian
discussions, only on those points already
settled in the treaty Of Rapa,lo.
Premier Lloyd George had declared
that the Germans must either abrogate
the treaty or accept complete expulsion
from all discussions pertaining to an
agreement with the Russians.
The German delegation thinks it is
right that they should take part in de
Hberations on questions corresponding TO
those already settled by Germany and
Russia only In case their collaboration
should be especially asked" Walter
Rathenau declared today.

RALSTON SAYS
G.. @. p. FAILS
ON PROBLEMS
Claims Too Much Time Is
Spent on Getting
Vengeance.
BLIND ANTAGONIST

Special TO The Times.
FIT. WAYNE, Ind, April 21-Ctter and
absolute failure to meet problems con-
fronting the country, either of an inter
ne ional or purely domestic character. has
been the outstanding characteristic Of the
Republican national administration ever
since President Harding went into office
more than year ago, Former Governor
Samuel NJ. Ralston, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for United States
Senator. said in speech before the jeff
erson Club here last night.
SO intent has been the Administration
In wreaking its vengeance and personal
animosity or Woodrow Wilson 1t has ne
elected the affairs Of the country In its
bitter hatred of the great war President,
the speaker said.
The fact stands out plainly" he said.
that in every problem the republican
leaders have undertaken to solve, in every
measure that has been debated in Con-
cress. the one controlling and dominating
Republican idea has been to oppose any
thing the former President favored s1d
favor anything that he opposed"
Despite this attitude of blind antagon-
ism he said President Harding had been
forced in many instances to adopt the
very policies he and his party condemned
and opposed while he was a member Of
the Republican senatorial party during
the Wilson Administration. The adop-
tion Of the Wilson policies in regard to
the payment of the Columb bian aim for
the Panama Canal. the refusal to recog
nize the defacto government of Mexico and
the Bolsheyik government in Russia. the
refusal to withdraw United States
marines from Haiti and San Domingo,
and the continuing in force of our com
mercial treaties. all are examples of the
inability of the present Administration to
depart from the very policies it so bitter
ly denounced only a few years ago, Mr..
RalstOn said
FOUR-POWER TREATY
TO AVOID LEAGUE.
Turning TO foreign affairs the speaker
said the four power pact was conceived
to avoid the entrance of the United States
into the League of Nations.
The proposed tariff legislation is old
time reactionism of the worst type, he
said, and the bill recently introduced in
the Senate lone of the worst ever pro-
posed"
In speaking of the soldier bonus" bill
he said, Our right thinking people want
TO do the square thing by these brave
patriots. Whatever is done for them by
way of bonus should be done in a
manner that will not compel them to sac
rihce any part of what the Government
provides for them They should not
have to expose themselves to money
sharks in order to realize on what the
