Shall We Recognize" Russia?

if such is actually the case has moth
ing to do with the question one way
or the other.
The statement made in many
quarters that recognition by the
, United States would result in the es 70
adjustment of consulates and other
public offices from which Russian
propaganda would spread throughout
the United States is an assertion or
prediction, rather than a statement Of
fact 1t might well be that the exist
ance of such consuates and the obi
cations attaching thereto, coupled
with desire to retain nominal recog-
milton by this country would restrain
efforts at propaganda which are now
said by such organizations as the
United Mine Workers to be frequent
and more or less successful in the
propagation of communism within
our limits This whole phase of the
situation is one that calls for care
full adjudication and analysis in the
light of facts and not of theories or
forecasts.
Simmered down to the ultimate ele-
ments, recognition of Russia has moth
ing to do with the theories of govern
ment or the lack of economic princi-
pie shown by the rulers of that coun-
try. 1t is a question whether the
Soviet authorities are ready to respect
our rights and those of our citizens

another under international law and

Most of the pessimism that has been
current in America for the last
eighteen months has been unwarrant-
ed. Much of il has been simply
mental dyspepsia. Much of it has
originated with politicians and stock
brokers and writers who have derived
q profit out of a public state of mind
that would be laughable if it did not
have its tragic consequences.
There never has been a time when
the average American citizen had
more opportunities for lettering his
lot. Wages are high and employment
is at its peak There is every pros
pect that wages will continue high.
There is no sign that we shall have
to endure a period of unemployment
short of the usual long swing of pros
perity into industrial depression, per-
haps years ahead. There is food and
shelter for every one.
The fact that the American people
are taking more recreation than has
ever been taken by any nation is evil

WHY WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL
Kansas CITY Star.


What a spectacle the world pre-
sents! Russia in ruins. Germany on
the verge of disaster. France striving
to safeguard her devastated area.
England staggering under burden of
unemployment. Greece, Jugo- Slavia

civil war. Japan laid waste by the
double catastrophe of earthquake and

conditions, how minor how trivial are
the evils that confront us in the Uuited
Statesl We are the possessors of a
continent of vast resources, with
population small enough to be sup
ported in comfort We are protected
by thousands OF miles of ocean from

VOTE THE BONDS FOR A NEW
FIRE STATION.

\ few months ago the people of
Wallace by small margin rejected
the proposition to bond the city for
the purpose of building a new fire
station. 1t was felt at the time that
this result did not really represent the
desires of a majority of the taxpayers
and that it was due in a great measure
to misunderstanding of the plans of
the administration both as the loca-
ton of the proposed new building and
to the imperative necessity for a mod
ern station as a means of adequate
fire protection. We have just devoted
a week-to educating the people on fire
prevention. but with all our efforts in
the line of prevention, the fire hazard
still exists and provision must be made
and continuously maintained for fire
protection. The better the facilities for
fighting fire and for fire prevention.
the lower viii be insurance rates. 1t
was pointed out at the time the ques-
ton of bonding was submitted to the
people few months ago that the re-
duction in insurance and the saving in I
rent for the city clerk and police (
magistrates Office would go long
way toward paying the interest on the
bonds In fact the interest charge on
the proposed issue together with the
sinking fund to provide for payment
at maturity can be met and the tax
payers win hardly realize that it is
being paid
The city has a large sum invested
in expensive fire fighting equipment of
the most modern type and this is kept
in building which is itself fire
menace. Its Accommodations for the
fireman are out of date. it's sanitary
condition is far from modern, and the
building as a whole. if a new station

With the close of the summer many
national legislators are returning
from Europe. There had been some
weeks ago a considerable exodus of
influential men, chiefly of the pro
gressive" persuasion, who have turned
their attention largely to Russian con-
ditions. Some have apparently been
DESTROYS of making Independent in
designations, while others have seem
ingly been carried on Personally con-
Quoted" tours chaperoned by Soviet
cicerOnes intent to prevent them from
seeing anything that would bring a
blush to the face of a young person"
What will be the conclusion of the
whole matter when they return to
Washington and new session of Con-
gress opens?
Unquestionably a demand for the
recognition of the Soviet Government.
That is a prospect that is already
recognized by thoughtful men and is
receiving careful attention with a
view to reaching some preliminary
conclusion. 1t is a two sided question.
In behalf of recognition is the fact
that American business men want to
be able to trade with and to establish
enterprises in Russia. Some of them
have been making contracts for con-
cessions in Russia which contain
clauses that call for cancellation if |
recognition does not come, or if it, |
InnN ia Oh.
The British commercial interests are
anxious to develop trade with Russia |
and the Germans have already taken
the lead in doing so.
AS against these considerations are
several specific items of argument
rhe first and perhaps the most gen.
rally accepted is that the present
Government of Russia is out of SYM
)athy with our national ideals and
stands for something quite different
rom anything that is considered to
'e representative of the United States.
his, of course, is mere nonsense. The
Id Czarist Government was about as
ar from our ideals as is that of the !
oviets, yet that did not prevent us
rom recognizing it any more than it
reverted us from recognizing and
ealing with the Manchu Government J
China. A second and more logical
is that the Soviets are I'M 7

AMERICAN LEGION GETS SOME
SOUND ADVICE.

That was straight forward. sound
and patriotic advice handed to the
American Legion by Charles Kendriclx
at San Francisco on the eve of the
annual encampment in that city, but
il will probably not carry much weight
with the dominant element in the or
ganization. which has gained and held
control almost on the bonus issue alone.
Mr. Kendrick believes that the ex-ser-
vice men are entitled to the bonus, or
adjusted compensation as they pre-
fer to call it, but says:
1T was a monumental error on
the part of the legion to get behind
the bonus measure" He says that
the legion should now declare with
dignity that it believes a great
injustice has been done the ex-
service man by not providing and
adjustment of his compensation
upon his return to civil life; that
this obligation, which existed at
the time. will continue to exist
until it is paid; that the legion.
however, was not organized to OBJ
tain bonus and that it is anxious
to start the work for which it was
conceived and that it therefore
leaves in the hands of congress
the matter of adjusting compensa-
ton, and stands ready to abide by
the decision of the people of Amer
ica"
Mr.. Kendrick added that the only
single thing in which the legion should
be interested for itself alone has to do /
with the care of disabled veterans. 1t
would seem that the most ardent ad-
vocates of the bonus should agree that |
rs Il matter OF propriety and loyalty /
to unfortunate comrades, the position /
Of Mr.. Kendrick is correct. But there
is too much politics in the legion, too
much of a desire among some of the
leaders, to capitalize their service for
political advantages, too much of
endeney to use the soldier vote to
congress into passing the
'onus bill AS a matter of fact, the
ponsors for the bonus in the legion
now that it can never be forced
through congress except by political
ressure. and for them to adopt Mr.
hendricks plan would kill the bonus
ill beyond the hope of resurrection.
o adopt that course would greatly
lcrease the prestige of the American ,
.egion as patriotic organization, and I

Whether or not the inspector is called
