NOTE PROBE

SENSATION
Inquiry Into Russian Affair
Likely to Cause Some
Cabinet RESERVATIONS,
Times Washington Bureau,
1900 Nau YORK. Ave

1922 New York Ave.
|7 ASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-One Of
.IWI the most sensational probes
ever undertaken by the United
States Senate is promised when the
State Departments charge that soviet
Russia Is attempting to overthrow
the American Government and plant
the red flag on the White House is
investigated early in the new year.
Before it is finished one or more
designations from President Coolidge S
Cabinet may be in order. Another re-
suit must be the early recognition Of
Russia by this country or the definite
postponement of that event to another
time in the dim and distant future.
The temper widespread in the Sen
ate is distinctly that the United
States Government has either over
stepped the bounds in its handling
of the so-called Red" menace, or
has not gone nearly far enough. If
the charges are true, many hold, the
guilty should be put to death with
out benefit Of clergy" as Senator
Borah put it. If not true, officials
should cease their periodical dragging
out Of the bugaboo.
Flat Charge of Forgery
c. E. Ruthenberg, secretary of the
now famous "W. P. A"-Workers
Party Of America-has denied to Off
Gals the letter Of instructions al.
legged TO have been sent by Zinoviev,
in Russia, 90 his party in America
was ever received or was ever even
written. He makes the fat charge
that it is a forgery and a 'frame-up"
by high Washington officials Ito mis-
lead the people Of America.
That Ruthenberg will be a star
witness when the probe begins is
certain.
The four factors uppermost in the
case as the Senate recesses over the
holidays are:
l. President Coolidge is regarded by
foreign diplomats as well as American
officials as having invited Russia TO
present herself at our door TO discuss
improved relations.
2. Secretary of State Hughes is Just
as generally regarded as having
slammed the door unceremoniousIy on
Russia's nose the moment she set
foot on our doormat.
8. Secretary Hughes gave as his
reason for so doing, a Soviet attempt
to overthrow the United States Gov
eminent and cited a document which
came into his hands through Depart
ment of Justice secret agents.
4. The fiat denial of the authenticity
of this document. the blunt charge OF
a 'frameup" in high places. and
open ridicule on the part Of certain
Senators of the seriousness of the
entire episode.
Investigation Promised
Senator Lodge. chairman Of the
Foreign Relations Committee in the
Senate. was driven by criticism into
promising a public investigation. If
the charges against the Soviet gov
eminent are disproved. Secretary
Hughes will be IN an uncomfortable
position. II proved Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty will doubtlessly be
called upon to explain why, with an
attempt to overthrow the American
Government in full swing, nobody
has been caught and punished for
the treason.
Meantime France. England, Italy
and Japan are flirting with Russian
recognition.
