Poincare Avoids Break.

Premier Puincare and the French
cabinet apparently have avoided
break with Great Eritain by agreeing
ference at The Hague without in
siStence upon withdrawal OF the Rus
sian memorandum of May II. The
way was opened for France to modify
ish government announced that it
would send exper1n and not plenipo-
tcntiaries To The Hague. and such
modification was forecasted by the
statement in the French note that
the French suggestion that the
memorandum Of May II should be
withdrawn previous to the meeting of
the experts would have had the merit
Of avoiding all ambiguity, but if il is
declared that this document is an
nullcd by the minutes Of the plenary
session Of the Genoa conference. that
it will he ignored by The Hague ex-
perts. and that if the Russians in
woke it it will not he countenanced,
i is evident that in fact such a pro
cedurc is indirectly equivalent to
withdrawal OF the memorandum
The necessities of the French situa-
ton make it reasonable, perhaps, to
take this way Of getting around the
barrier raised by the Russian memo
randum. But the United States labors
under the disadvantage of no such
necessities, and SO long as the memo
randum Of May II remains the unre-
voked official declaration of Russian
policy just so long will this country
find it impossible to extend political
recognition to the soviet government
at Moscow or to advance large sums
OF money or in credits for the recon-
structiun of Russia.
There are many things in the Rus
sian memorandum which make it un-
acceptable to the American people and
government but the paragraph which
acts chiefly as barrier to political
recognition and financial assistance
reads as follows:
Thus from the point Of view of law
Russia is in no way bound to pay
debts of the past to make restitution
OF property OF to compensate its for
mer owners any more than she is
bound to pay compensation for other
losses suffered by foreign nations,
either as the result of legislation
which Russia has chosen in the exer-
else of her sovereign rights to give
herself OF as a result of the events
of the revolution.
To recognize the soviet government
while this declaration stands would
be to acquiesce in reputation of the
5000, 900, 900 war debt owed this gov
ernment by Russia. This the United
States certainly could not do so long
as it refuses to cancel the debts owed
by the allies who were faithful to the
end
And if Russia is not bound to COM
pensate for losses suffered as the re-
suit of legislation which she has
rights to give herself" there can be
no assurances that she would not
choose to give herself" some more
legislation which would result in the
loss of any fresh American capital
loaned to or invested in Russia.
Poincare may prefer the sending Of
experts to The Hague to a break with
England, but it is a safe bet that
France will neither recognize the So
Wet government nor do business with
it on the basis of avoidance of the
memorandum of May II. 1t will have
to be withdrawn before any agree
ment with Russia can be worth the
paper it is written upon.

Gen. Crowder in Cuba.

1t is fortunate for all concerned that
Gen. Crowder is in Cuba at this time.
He is familiar with conditions in the
island, and has before this been in
consultation with the Cuban authori,
ties about public policies. He had the
confidence of the Wilson administra-
ton as he now has of the Harding
administration. and is To be accepted
as the right man in the right place.
Affairs in Cuba have not of late
been running smoothly. The why and
wherefores are not we'll known in this
country. But interest is felt because
Of our relations TO the island and our
friendship for the people. America
wishes sincerely for Cuha'S prosperity
and the stability of her government.
In circumstances that are defined
we have the right of intervention, ana
have exercised il. But we do not wish
to intervene again. We have our
hands full at home. and. besides. con
ditions throughout the world are such
as to make it advisable to stay at
home.
Cuba is probably sharing in the
general unrest and dislocations that
have followed the war. We know
something about them ourselves, and
that they must be tackled with a reso-
lutte spirit.
An independent Cuba. progressive
prosperous and standing firmly on her
pins. is the American desire. We set
her M in business for herself. and
have felt only satisfaction in the per
formance: and as her sponsor we look
TO her to do her, best to maintain her
self at all times-even in these eX-
cecdingly trying times.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Music.

Tommy Dinkins used to play
Tunes to drive dull care away,
On an old mouth organ, which
Had a tone quite far from rich.
When he struck up Home, Swe
Home"
Everybody longed to roam.
Used to beg him to desist.
Tommy always played the list
OF selections he had learned,
Taking encores all unearned.
Often, now. in memory dreams.
Dear old Tommy Dinkins seems
To be playing, as of yore.
With bare foot he taps the floor,
Or goes marching down the street,
To himself a band complete.
When I hear the music grand
BY some jazzerino band,
With the syncopations queer
AS wild rhythms jar the ear,
Then I wish that time would turn
Backward, that I might discern
Tommy Dinkins, playing there.
Freckled, and with tousled hair,
Breathing tunes that linger still
With affections gentle thrill;
Wish that he were here today!
I would hand him a bouquet
Il he'd blow a tune or two,
Same as what he used to do.
