Sizing Them Up

them TO drinks that cost S cents a
throw. | look on them as worthy
hikers along the road where mortals
range; they have to prove that they
are pikers before my estimate will
change. Sometimes this attitude en-
snares ME, fall for takers full of
guile; but still. though migrate talon
tears me, l greet the stranger with a
smile. My inborn faith in human
beings still thrives apace, its bloom
ing yet, and. after sundry hully-
cheeings, unpleasant matters | for

ter he views all people with disdain.
and sees in every human critter
some dcep-laid plots and projects
vain. I'm sorry for the man who's
feeling contempt for all the human
race. because some takers, glibly
spicling. once got his roll with skill
and grace. I'm sorry for the man
who's hating all females in our
growing town, because when once
he thought of mating a star-eyed
damsel turned him down. size up
every pilgrim stranger as being
worth his weight in gold, until he
puts my wad i'll danger. and then no

LEADING 6. @. P.'S
SEEK RECOGNITION
OF THE SOVIET

WASHINGTON, May Is. = An
influential group of leading Repub-
licans. including some senators, will
seek plank in the Republican party
platform at Cleveland, looking to-
wards American recognition of Rus
sia if. is is expected here, France ac-
cords recognition of the Soviet
regime.
Senator Borah, long an advocate
of a broader Russian policy, prob
ably will lead the movement. Borah
is slated for membership on the
resolutions committee which will re-
port the platform. The fight he put
IN III Chicago four years ago was
largely responsible for modification
of the foreign relations plank.
Foreign relations generally. and
Russian recognition in particular are
to be emphasized in the campaign
bv Borah and other speakers, who
held that the United States cannot
lcgislate prosperity for its farmers
or business men but must seek 1t by
establishing, relations abroad that
will reopen to the fullest degree all
world markets.
The uncompromising stand of
Secretary of State Hughes against
Russian recognition has had its eff
feet on American public opinion and
III addition there is Il disposition
not to regard this as an important
question, so far as the bulk of the
people are concerned.
But to Borah and others who have
studied ii in the light of America S
world economic position, the ques-
ton is paramount. They intend TO
convey TO the people this summer
reasons why it is important.
