RUSSIAN ABILITY PROVES
AMAZING TO THE ALLIES

man and French universities, OBJ
tanning a bachelor of laws degree
from the University Of Paris.
He has been a Socialist since he
was Is years old, and has been ex-
PEELED from Bulgaria, Germany and
Russia for Socialist activity.
ell was one of the leaders Of the
Russian revolution in 1906 and was
Jailed in Rumania for Bolshevism IN
1917.
He was rescued by 35 Russian SOL
diers, who took him to Russia,
where he became one of the Soviet
leaders.
Now Rakonsky is president of the
Ulrainian Soviet Republic. He is
short and stocky, with smooth face,
and keen sense of humor. He Is
in charge of Soviet propaganda at
Genoa--and he's a past master at the
job.
Lityinoff, college professor,
taught many years in the Berlitz
school of Languages in London. lie
is one of the most remarkable lin
gusts in Europe, speaking PRACTICAL
ly all languages. He is of average
physique and has neither mustache
or beard.
Joffee is lawyer of high standing,
having a doctor of laws degree from
the University Of Munich. his whis-
kers are white and luxuriant. Lit
vinoff and Joffee are Jews, but the
other three are not, though there
are several among the subordinates
of the delegation.
Their ability to speak languages
gives the Russians a great advantage
at the Genoa conference. Another
great advantage is the fact taht, ex-
cepting the British, they come better
prepared with documents and figures
than the other delegations. They U:-
sist on taking time to answer pro-
posals and questions, but when they
answer they back the answer up with
such facts and figures that allied
delegates are dazed. Some of the
facts and figures won't stand anal
ysis, but the allies are kept busy
finding the weak spots.
Hardest Workers.
The Russians, from Tchitcherin
down, the hardest workers at the
conference. They are at it night and
day, holding conferences among
themselves, with the allies and with
the Germans, and the rest of the
time searching records and prepar-
ing documents.
The amount and character of the
propaganda they turn out is amaz-
ing. There is always something for
the journalists at Russian head
quarters, and always somebody there
who can speak any language. The
other day one of Rakonsky's assist
ants gave a statement to English,
Spanish, French, German and Ital-
ian correspondents in succession, and
each correspondent said his language
was spoken perfectly.
One of the most interesting reac-
tions to the Russians personality is
the almost universal belief among
other delegates and journalists that
however, mistaken they may be in
their social and political ideas, they
are sincere men, earnestly ia rniytgo
are sincere men, earnestly trying tc
accomplish the regeneration of Rus
sia, along more advanced lines than
ever before.
If Russia succeeds in getting the
full recognition she demands, it viii
be due in great measure to the
character and ability of the mer
sent here from Moscow.

Especial Gable to NEA Service,
Copyright 1922, NEA Service, Inc.)
GENOA, May 3.-1he biggest
shock of Genoa has not been alone
the spectacular things the Russians
have done-but what they look like.
Werld diplomats here expected to
see wild-eyed men with long hair
and matted whiskers, with knives in
their teeth and pants in their boots.
And they were shocked to find the
Russians were not freaks at all.
When the Russian delegates first
arrived in Geona there were many
jokes at their expense and DISPOSE
ton in some quarters not to take
them seriously. Nov, needless to
say, the attitude toward them has
changed entirely. From the moment
they announced their treaty with
Germany they have shown diplomatic
cleverness and have proved their
right to be treated at least as equals
in one of the greatest diplomatic
games ever played in Europe.
They have occupied the center of
the stage and the spotlight has never
left them.
Fashionable Raiment.
Far from being disheveled fanatics,
the Russians in appearance rank well
up toward the top of all delegations.
Almost without exception they are
we'll dressed, and on all formal occa-
sions their attire is strictly proper
to the last detail. The propaganda
effect of this has been very great,
for adherence to convention means
much in European official circles.
In total quantity, whiskers among
the Russians are much less than in
many other delegations.
The five leaders OF the Soviet dele
gation-Tchitcheri Krassin, Litvin-
off, Joffee and Rakonsky-are al
men of the highest education. Their
linguistic abilities are amazing. All
speak Russian, German, French,
Italian and English, and some sew
eral other languages. They not only
speak these languages, but speak
them correctly.
Tchiteherin a Bachelor.
Tchitehern's English is Ilawless.
/ At the opening session he read ms
accomplish the regeneration of Rus
sia speech in Russian, and translated
into French, then into English and
finally into Italian.
The five chief delegates are all
about SO, and of distinguished ap-
pearance. Tchitcherin, nObleman
in the old regime, was in the czar' s
diplomatic service. ell was educated
in Russia and in Berlin and Paris
and has doctor of laws degree. He
is one of the most powerful members
of the Soviet government. Alone OF
the five delegates, 1chiteherin is not
married. He is above average height,
slightly stopped, wears closely
cropped mustache and imperial, and
looks like a college professor.
Krassin for 25 years has been one
of the leading electrical engineers IN
Europe. He was born in Siberia.
While prisoner there for political
activity he helped build the Trans
Siberian railway. Ee was one of the
original founders of the BOlsheyist
party in 1903 and has beeE active in
it ever since.
A tall man with a close cut iron
gray beard, Krassin looks as little
like Red as Secretary Hughes.

Without an Issue

"I had hoped that some new issue about
which the party could rally successfully and
make good fight about would be brought
forward"
"Hoped" is good And the word success
fully" gives the thought away entirely. The
quotation given is from an interview OF
Democratic State Chairman Isaacs in Fri
days Every Evening. Hope, forlorned hope!
Is it so bad as that? Think of it that the
State Chairman of the Democratic Party,
Henry Isaacs, student, Oxford man, lawyer,
orator, Publicist is at loss for an issue for
the coming campaign. One would have sup
posed that the old principle of government
as propounded by jefferson would have been
his theme and battle cry. Or that he would
have taken up some phase of our county and
State government for the call to arms.
Seriously, we are amazed that one OF his
dignity and position would so boldly and
BADLY admit that issues that would appeal to
the common sense of the electorate are not
Forthcoming. And still more amazed, that he
cries for new isSue-nOt one necessarily OF
principle for State welfare but any thing "to
make good fight about" and to make rally
successful. Anything to win. new issue
anything ''to make good fight about and
get into office
Such might be the brazen talk of a ward
heeler but is sad reading coming from the
head of one of the leading political parties.
There is far too much seeking in both parties
for "catch issue" to appeal to the prejudices
of the crowd. Government whether State or
National is founded on certain principles and
our future depends upon party leaders to
keep them constantly before us. Mr.. Isaacs
has always posed as one out of the ordinary
political leaders. His interview would lead
us to believe, however, that Hope has so for
saken him, that for the moment he laid bare
his thought and said more than he probably
intended. It's sad day in political affairs
when issues are lacking. Something just to
fight about and win irrespective of even men,
tion Of a priciple is not our conception of
student, Publicist or Statesman. 1t must have
been just the lawyer speaking-anythin
to win.

Congratulations

To say that the first concert of the New
ark Choral Club was a success, is putting 1t
mildly. It does not tell the story at all. The
performance was genuine surprise and de-
light to every one who heard it.
The inclemency of the weather kept many
away, but those who did go were amply re-
paid The comments heard on every side are
more than mere compliments usually handed
out to local talent.
We are expressing feebly the sentiment of
Newark when we offer our congratulations
and good wishes. 1t is hoped that this is only
the beginning of series of concerts by the
Club. Not only did we feel sense of pride
in the successful accomplishment of the or
ganization but the quality of the program
was so exceptional that it compared well with
visiting professionals who are so eagerly
welcomed.
The Newark Choral Club is and can be
one of the communitys institutions.
Our congratulations to the officers, to the
director and to every member of the chorus
and Club. You can do much for the pleasure
and joy of living in Newark.
