On Recognition Of Old

Despite the recent recognition Of
the Russian Soviet government by
Great Britain and other world
powers, the policy Of the United
States toward Russia has under
gone no change and there is no
present indications Of negotiations
looking to the resumption Of diplo.
matte relations between Washing

at the State Department today.
At the same time, however, It
was stated that President Coolidge
Is deSirous Of establishing closer
political bonds with Russia and is
hopeful that the time Is near at
hand when negotiations may be
possible.
Tho Stumbling Block.
The chief stumbling block to any
negotiations or political intercourse
at this time rests in the refusal
Of the Soviet government to &C.
complish, according to the Presi.

as basis for recognition.
The United States, 1t was de-
clared officially, does not propose
to deal through diplomatic chan
nels with Russia until the Soviet
recognizes her international obliga-
tons, including the 1888 200, 900
debt Of the Russian republic formed
after the fall Of the Czarist gov
eminent.
The position Of this Government
continues to be, also, that there can
be no political relations between
Russia and the United States so
long as the Soviet maintains its
''active spirit Of enmity to our in.
situations"
Follow Hughes Policy.
This is the Russian policy formu-
lated by Secretary of State Hughes
during the Harding Administration
and now continued by President
Coolidge.
The state Department has kept
close watch on all the conferences
In Europe between representatives

by Russia with respect to the debts

were far and few between, but
the situation has been altered.
We are in the midst of complex
age of intensity.
These unfortunate boys per-
haps have made mistakes be-
cause of the influence of i'm
proper environment, particular
ly in the home. There are some
Jewish parents who are to blame
for the downfall of their chill
dren because of the laxity with
which they handle the young
during the dangerous age"
They are given too much free
dom and unwisely choose COM
panions who willingly assist in
degradation.
1t is up to each of us to as
suage the temptations of youth
and undermine their sweeping
passions. Judaism is the true
cleanser of ignorance. And what
are mistakes but acts ignorance.
Ritual and ceremony are vain
mockery if moral and spiritual
powers become corrupt.
Home ties must be made more
binding. Love must pervade the
family hearth. Greater atten-
tion must be given the welfare
of boys by their parents, even
at the cost of the material, of
time or money. How petty is
a gigantic gain in wealth COM
pared to the soaring of a soul
from a lower strata to an ex-
hilerating height. The boy must
be taught from infancy to do
right from a sense of justice. To
threaten a child with punish
ment is often disasterous and
harsh methods are futile.
Then too, community centers
should be established wherever
there may be a group of young
people in order to care for the
welfare of our Jewish youth and
keep them from mingling with
undesirables.
There is a great need for
trained Jewish men and women
who are competent to conduct
intensive welfare work. These
workers must be imbibed with
the Jewish spirit, who think and
live as true Jews and Jewesses.
They must be able to respond to
the soul of our Jewish young
men and young women. They
must be both young and Jew
ish with them.
Let the work begin in the
home. The synagogs may well
give aid but there is too much
religion shown only on the sur
face, in the letter, without the
spirit. 1t is needless to say that
true Jews and Jewesses will not
go astray.

sonal experience along these
lines some years ago. A man
had failed in an endeavor which
no one else would undertake.
The writer overheard the fol-
lowing advice given the failure
by what purported to be a friend
and well-wisher.
"Well, you are thru at last.
l hope you will leave the city
and that you will give us rest. "
Did this discourage the fail
ure? Not much. He started
again from the bottom and to-
day he is on the road to success
in his endeavor which was look
ed upon as impossible. If SO
much good can be accomplished
in spite of all the discourage
ment of our leaders, what great
things we could do with an op-
timistic and encouraging atti-
tude from all our people!
The genius succeeds only for
the reason that he has reached
his goal before the knocker has
discovered which way he is head
ing and not because he receives
any encouragement or acknowl-
edgement of his'superior ability.
What the world needs is less
charity and more cooperation
a helpfulness that is based on a
selfshness which understands
the relation of one man to an
other, no matter how diversified
and far apart their interests may
be. Nothing is more harmful to
real progress than exclusive
ness. The greatest men and the
greatest thinkers are and always
have been the most democratic
whether they were born on the
throne or in a hovel. No strata
of society has monopoly on
greatness and a Napoleon may
rise where he is Vast expected.
Our present standards of
measuring success are all wrong.
The other day l was in an office
which was>finished in the empire
style of Napoleon I. It's creator
had risen from obscurity to the
power and influence of a multi
millionaire. He made his money
selling articles for five and ten
cents.
A great man? No-only a
man who was smart enough to
see the advantages of existing
conditions and to cash in on
them. He persistently followed
up these advantages which were
so small they were despised by
greater minds. He was little
enough to see and appreciate the
little things. The only remark
able thing about Woolworth is
that he stuck to his conviction
in spite of disbursement and
derision and his courage alone
not genius made him a true Ma
poleon in commerce. Mighty
cakes of little acorns grow.

ONE cities are getting q
. Lot of free advertising Of

4 JUNE CiIleS arc SSeIihS
- Lot of free advertising of
~ q nature. that. may not be
altogether desirable but which
would cost millions of dollars if
it had to be paid for. The muir
ders and the scandals which
form the sensations of the day
do not only get front page posi-
tions but they stimulate every
paper thruout the country to dig
into its own archives for addi-
tional information and for pic
lures which may be used to en-
bellish racy stories.
Denver, being a metropolitan
city of some size, naturally gets
its share of this not wanted pub
licity. There is an erroneous be-
lief that all the newspapers are
only looking for morbid things
in life and that the bad has
greater interest than the good.
In reality, it is only the unusual
which attracts attention and the
papers are more ready to appeal
to the ideals of man than to his
baser nature.
There is just as great a pos
sibility for getting millions of
dollars worth of good advertising
as for getting all this cheap. un-
desirable notoristy. To prevent
the occurrence of crime is not
within our control, no matter
how many policemen we may
hire. But it is possible for US
to do enought really startling
good deeds which will attract
worldwide attention, especially
as the competition in this field is
never very keen.
All that we need to attract
this attention is to be original.
But you don't have to be Grim
inal to be original. Crime is
never original.
We need to be original in our
thoughts and to give this orig
inality the right-of-way over the
commonplace. We need to dis
card our present method of sus-
picion of anything that is new
and untried. Such an attitude
would require considerable ex-
perimental work but what are
our many civic organizations for
if they cannot be used as expert
mental stations, where things
may be tried out which are be-
yond the scope of the ordinary
conservative business man?
These organizations today not
only are not fulfilling their mis-
sions but they are even setting
themselves up as critics of the
daring few progressive and ag-
gressive individuals and con-
Germs who have courage enough
to ignore public opinion, who are
forever trying the untried and
who are willing to bear the onus
of many failures and forever try
again.
The writer had a peculiar per-
