OUR ATTITUDE ENDORSED

When Russia suggested to the United
States. some months ago. that the time
had come to open negotiations looking
to the recognition of Russia by the
United States, Secretary Hughes de-
clared that there was no need of opening
negotiations. When Russia had restored
the property of Americans which she had
confiscated and assumed responsibility
for the public debts she had repudiated,
it would be time to discuss recognition,
he said.
Naturally. Russia was somewhat an
eered at this rebuff and officially. she
had much to say to the effect that the
United States had more need of Russia
than Russia had of the United States,
and anyhow, it would be only short
time before all the nations of the world
would recognize Russia. A short time
after this, Great Britain put Premier
Macdonald in power and one of his first
acts was to extend unqualified recogni-
ton to Russia. Naturally, Russia was
elated and some of her officials had
more hard things to say regarding the
United States. Now. however, the atti-
tude of Secretary Hughes is receiving
endorsement from no less a place than
Great Britain which so quickly recog-
nized the Russian government after the
United States had declined to do so.
For the last fortnight, representatives
of Russia have been in Great Britain
discussing the questions of striking a
cash balance between the claims the two
countries hold against each other. 1t
was announced too, at the opening of
the conference that Russia. while her
were in England, would
seek loan from Great Britain.
1t is however, one thing to obtain for
NAL recognition from government and
quite another to obtain large loan
from the citizens of that government.
Premier Macdonald has recognized Rus
STA. but the British bankers say they
will not loan Russia one cent. 1t is
quite gratifying to note that they base
their refusal to lend money on the same
ground that the United States refused
to "see' Russia.
The British bankers say that there is
no idea in their minds of discriminating
agaiSst Russia. They are willing to
treat with her, they say, on the same
basis on which they deal with all other
borrowers. Where the standing and
credit of the borrower is good, they are
willing to make loan; where it is 9th
erwise. they will not make it. They
point cut that Russia has stolen money
from citizens of other nations and re-
pudiated all obligation to those nations
for morey she has borrowed from them.
No individual who had made such a
record the bankers say, would be able
to borrow money from any bank and
they are no more inclined to loan money
to dishonest nation than to a dishon-
est person. When Russia pays what she
ALREADY owes and gives some guarantee
that she will pay for what she buys
thereafter, Russia NAV be able to nego-
tate loan in Great Britain, but not be-
Ore.
This is specific endorsement of the
attitude taken by Secretary Hughes and
is decidedly comforting to America. Pos
sibly. in time. it will be borne in upon
the minds of the soviet officials that
they cannot rob people and then borrow
more money from those they have robbed

too egotistical to go about training the
young in the most valuable characteristic,
that is. the ability to govern themselves.
An older person argues that he knows
better than a young one, and perhaps
he does, or should, and so. having the
upper hand and the strength $50 to do"
he imposes his strength upon the young.
An older person too is prone to believe
that his ideas are right. If they are
questioned the result is "disrespect."
Parents, particularly, out of their love
for their children wish to protect" them
from the world. The child must not do
thus and so, but no adequate reasons
are given why he should not. Most of
the discipline of the world to date has
been conducted by Thou-Shall-Nots.
This is all very WE'LL Respect and
obedience are estimable virtues and must
not be relegated to the limbo of things
discarded, as is claimed to be the case
at the present day. The weak, in a
way, must be protected against the
strong. But protection and respect and
obedience never trained anyone actually
and intelligently to govern himself. 1t
may have moulded an individual accord
ing to a preconceived system and stuck
him there for the rest of his natural life
but it never gave him self reliance and
courage to swim in unaccustomed seas.
Taken away from the system or customs
that have supported them the majority
will crumple up and die.
On the other hand, an individual
trained from infancy in making personal
decisions and taking the personal re-
sponsbility for his acts has strength
and resiliency of character the merely
obedient lacks. And children may be
trained that way in all sorts of small and
unimportant things. For ex-
ample, young girl wants to wear her
best dress to play tennis with two boy
friends. One method would be to pro-
hibit her wearing it in order to save the
dress. The other would be to let her
make her own decision, but let it be
perfectly plain that if the dress was
ruined there would be no other. It'll
would be Cup to her." As life went
on, and as it had gone on from infancy.
it would be up to her. to make all the
decisions of her life.
OF course, she would be assisted in
these decisions by the most intelligent
explanation of all the clements involved
She would be made to see how the thing
she wanted to do was related to other
things, and what consequences she might
reasonably expect, though set results are
by no means practicable. She would
have sympathetic assistance in making
her decisions, but none of this bugaboo
stuff about sin and damnation. AS
result she would be trained in self-gov-
eminent rather than subservience, that
might become cowardly or hypocritical,
to some CODE
If we are afraid of life and afraid of
its consequences and wish to shut people
up in alright compartments. then there
is no need to talk about self government
in schools or the government or any
where else. Self-government takes
courage, intelligence. and the ability to
see oneself in relation to the world.

CHAPTER Nv.
Dayid's Letter.

September was dying and the artist
hand of October had begun TO PANT
the world with its wonderful tints Of
red and orange.
Already the trees were getting bare :;
one could see the road quite plainly
now from the windows of Dolly Breth-
erton's flat through the sbivering line
of lime trees that bordered the path
outside.
Dolly stood at the window and look
ed out at the gray, misty line of sky
above the houses; she always seemed
to be looking out of the window now.
She had curious feeling that she was
waiting for something-someth i'm
portant-somet> .1g that would come
along and change the whole OF her
life-something, she did not know
what.

CRITICIZING OTHERS

People are never pleased at being
written about unless the writing is in
complimentary vein. Sometimes, short
conlings may be held up in tolerant,
objective manner, as if they were as
sets rather than liabilities; but in the
case of flat-footed criticism of an in
dividual or nation there is no hest
fancy about the promptness with which
either subject registers complaint"
The Cubans are now making loud
protest. Writers who visited the island
during the winter have gone awav and
written about the Cuban's love of gam
bling. One of these writers has gone
so far as to say that the Cubans are
so addicted to betting and gambling in
all forms that they would bet con the
score of an opera if they could figure
out some way to do it."
To which criticism, the Cubans, and
with justice, ask what would happen in
the United States if the restrictions
against gambling and betting were re-
moved. "Do you think lottery tickets
would go begging in the states if
their sale were permitted" one Cuban
demanded. "As for the race tracks, is
there not Just as much betting on the
races in the United States today as there
IS in Cuba" These protesting Cubans
also call attention to the fact that much
of the betting at the races and games
is done by foreigners. as the Island is
great winter resort for all nations, and
travellers in foreign countries are no
toriously free from the restrictions that
bind them at home.
These examinations and recriminations
point to the obvious fact that gambling
is an ingrained human trait, and not
the PAL ticular weakness of any one race
or nation. The manner in which it finds
expression among any one set of peo-
pie reflects more truly the attitude to-
wards gambling than the natural apti-
tude individuals might have for it if
they were left unrestrained or their at
titude towards it were different. The
English speaking nations have generally
frowned upon games of chance for
money. whereas the Latins, generally
speaking, have made small bones about
it one way or another, and from their
viewpoint may have arrived at as salts
factory results as those who frowned
There have been times when the gam
ing instinct has proved invaluable. as
witness the story that came out of China
not long ago. Americans captured by
bandits claim to have saved their lives
by their ability to play Nah Jongg and
to gamble for high stakes. There are
places too. where gambling is consid-
cred nothing more than a form oil
amusement. In the cities of Switzer-
land, a tax is imposed upon all visitors
which goes to the upkeep of the elabo
rate and beautiful gambling places. the
Kursaals. Here one finds excellent
music and refreshment, games of al
kinds, night and day, with men anC
women coming and going to PLAY OF
watch the games as thew please. Coult
the Swiss be called nation of gambler.
because of this attitude towards gam
bling? Such a conclusion would b,
nianifestly unjust, but it might be made
without taking into consideration any
thing but the obvious fact that gambling
exists.
1t is therefore necessary in criticizing
