BETTER THAT THEY
STAY AT HOME

The Moscow soviet failed and
neglected to issue an official invi-
tation to the congressional party to
make tour Of Russia so a trip
projected by Senator Ladd of
North Dakota for q company of
senators and representatives has
been abandoned. This viii cause
no public mourning. Rather, there
viii be general satisfaction. The
plan that failed was ill-advised.
Had it been carried through it
could have done no good and might
have been harmful. Tourists win be
strictly limited, as they should be,
until Russia has a government that
ours can recognize. Congression-
al tourists, though they fare forth
as private citizens, cannot divest
themselves of their legislative
character and in Russia miscon-
eeptions with respect to them could
not be avoided.
It has been demonstrated to
the public satisfaction that moth
ing Of value is to be learned from
inspections" in RuRssia. Con-
gressnnen touring under the tute-
lage Of the soviet government
would be shown what the oommun-
lists wished them to see, and no
more. They would have no liberty
to investigate where it was not de-
sired that they should investigate.
They would be deceived and their
trust betrayed. They would re-
turn home with misconceptions
that probably would lead them to
make proposals wholly at variance
with American interests.
The truth about Russia will not
be told by the men who brought
about Russia's ruin, and members
