A GOOD WORKING PLAN.

The report Of the majority OF the congressional
committee which has been investigating the desir-
ability Of the acceptance of Henry Ford's offer to
take over the Muscles Shoals nitrate plant and ut-
ze it for the manufacture Of fertilizer seems to con-
tain great deal of sound common sense. Itrecog-
nzes that government ownership, with its attendant
evils Of political management is not the proper
method for handling the project, and that the main
object to be attained is the continued operation Of
the plant such basis that it may be OF real bene-
TT to the farmers and other users Of commercial
fertilizers.
"The alternative course to government owner

conditions prescribed by congress lease the power

defense and at the same time giving an opportunity
Tor relief if such there can be- to only the south
land but our entire country in the way Of CONNER
cial fertilizer at reasonable prices.
This would seem to be sensible plan Under
It the evils usually attendant on public ownership
are avoided. but on the other hand the government
would continue to retain sufficient control over the
operation Of the gigantic plant to ensure the safe
guarding of the public interest.

THE CURIOUS CASE or BAKHMRTRFF.

1t appears that there is III some quarters a ten.
deney to interpret the action 81 Boris Bakhnetef
United States government, as q preliminary step
leading to official American recognition Of the
Soviet administration at Moscow !.
This is not the case, however The only effect
that the resignation is likely to have upon American
dealings with the present Russian government IS
that there will be less embarrassment present in the
approach to solution of an exceedingly delicate
|Ffoblem.
M. Bakhmet4ff has been in an anomalous posi-
ton ever since the overthrow Of Che kerensky gov
ernment which was established Immediately upon
the collapse Of the Rofnanoffs in March, 1917 apd
came to an end seven months later. Nj. BakhmeteH
was appointed ambassador of the kerensky admin
istfation and has since been in the position of rep
restnting officially government that has been dead
for almost FIVE years. and countfy~whieh is not
now officially recognized by the United States.
His position has been not only anomalous, but
also somewhat difficult, since 1t has brought upon
him rather direct charges made upon the floor Of
the United States that he had been instrumental in
n,isappropriating large part Of the loan granted
by he American government to the Russia of kercn-
sky's day, about $1$7,000O00. Furthermore, his
name was unpleasantly linked up with the some
what becloudcd affairs Of General Senenof, and at
that time he referred to the Diplomatic immunity to
which he claimed to be entitled in view Of his rank
and position.
Pains have been taken by both NJ Bakhineteff
and the American department Of state to make it
clear that the resignation of the ambassador is
brought about voluntarily, in fact, correspond
ence, illuminating the matter shows that the Rus
sian tactfully expressed desire to relieve the gov
ernment to which he claimed he was accredited,
from any further embarrassments, and in this view
Secretary Hughes gladly, it is to be assumed ac-
quiesced.
NJ. Bakhmeteff does not leave his post in dis
grace as did DR.. Dumba and Count Won Bernstorff.
I'D he nod ;c Alaka
energetic inquiry would have been started for the
purpose OF ascertai'ing how it came about that a
government which has ceased to govern, could still
maintain an embassy or how nation, at present
without official status in the eyes Of the greater
part OF the world could demand such status by rca
son of the fact that man claiming, and upheld
in his claim, to be the recognized representative Of
that nation -.
1t is hardly too much to assume that both NJ
Bakhmeteff and the American department Of state
are breathing sigh of relief at the peaceful ending
of episode that was exceedingly difficult to ex-
plain satisfactorily.
