ngton as Russian Ambassador was, without Ques-
ton, a source of considerable embarrassment to
the administration Doubtless his recognition after
the government he represented ceased to function
was correct, convenient and justified by diplomatic
precedent But it was open to all sorts OF suspi-
cions which could not be put down by the delicate
explanations of the State Department.
The American people sympathized with the
Kerensky government. They still believe that the
ideals it represented will be reborn and will prove
the eventual salvation of Russia But the fact that
it does exist in theory, present is appar-
ent to everyone. Russia is controlled by a govern
ment which the United States cannot recognize until
it shows good faith in making certain fundamental
changes in its economic theories. But it is gov
ernment which functions. Any negotiations with
the Russian state must be made through its repre-
sentatives or they amount only to so much wasted
ink and paper.
In fact, nobody has presumed that NJ. Bakh-
meteff could speak for the government OF Russia.
He has been retained in Washington simply as the
trustee of certain property owned by the former
government. To this extent he has served a useful
purpose. But his position has been clear.
He has been open to all of attacks which were
not easily answerable.
His life in Washington has not been envable.

vate funds to maintain the embassy.
Approval of his action will not be unmixed with
regret for the loss of the himself He probably
has represented in America the true Russian people,
now in such an unfortunate position that they can
not speak for themselves. He has given the best OF
his genius to the service of his country without
regard to the who now hold power in Moscow.
Some day, it is the fervent hope of most Ameri-
cans, true and lasting democracy will be born in
Russia When such a government is established
nobody would regret seeing NJ Bakhmetef back in
Washington as its representative. He has proved
his caber to the satisfaction of this country during
the past four years and deserves the opportunity to
render .nore service to his people in the field with
which he is best acquainted.

Why Knock Congress?

cry imaginable misdeed under the
sun. Yet. about everybody who gets

inGss This Is not consistent. Stop
asking favors, or else stop knock
ing. Also remember that a Con-
gressman has only twenty hours h
day like other mortals. yet they are
expected to do everything all a,
once. Some more Inconsistency.
And. in the effort to satisfy their
demands while more fortunate
mortals are riding about evenings
in automobiles, our legislators are
sweltering these hot nights under
that great white dome trying to
readjust an unbalanced world. make
laws, fx tariff rates to satisfy op-
posing interests. gratifying a lot OF
grouchy constituents and a lot or
people who are not constituents,
and some more.
And one party. who refers to her
self as among the ''uninitiated," has
a fling for the immense salaries they
are paid. She certainly is not in
itiated, IL she thinks that the sal
airy received repays them for leav-
ing their homes and neglecting pri-
vate business to grind here in
Washington practically all the year
round. A man, to get elected TO
Congress. especially the Senate, has
business interests in his home city;
he is a lawyer. banker. or some
thing of the sort, and OF consider
able standing.
The American people do not elect
tramps and vagrants to Congress
candidates are not elected from the
poor house. So, the average Con-
gressman, even of the lower House
generally loses money-aiso COM

An unusually large percentage of George Wash

have looked forward eagerly, to the day when they
could resign their jobs and be done forever with
the deadening routine which is often the lot Of
government clerks. Many of thtrl have taken for
granted that a new life would start for them as
