AS WE SCI
BY T. }. o'FLAHERTr.

ONE of the stereotyped arguments
- used by the late secretary of
state, Charles Evans Hughes, when
opposing recognition of Soviet Rus
STA, was, that until that country con-
Quoted its affairs lin accordance with
the principles and practices of civil
lied nations" the highly moral United
States government, the government of
Teapot Dome and of the Jess Smith
whiskey ring, could not shake the
hands of the government of the Rus
sian workers and peasants. We have
not heard that the U. S. has yet brok-
en- with the assassin governments Of
Bulgaria., Italy, Roumania, Hungary
and Poland. There is reason.
THE Coolidge administration is get
= ting embarrassed over the grow
ing rumors that recognition is not far
of. Senator Borahs arguments ap-
peared to have made strong impress
sion on foreign governments. The
ldahoan is chairman of the senate
committee on foreign relations and
that position carries much prestige
here and abroad. Secretary of State
Kellogg therefore found it expedient
to notify all the U. S. ambassadors
that there was no change in the atti-
tude Of the Morgan-Wall Street gov
eminent towards the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republic.
WHATEVER form the outward re-
" lations between the capitalist
countries and the Soviet government
may take, there will be no change of
attitude nothing but bitter hatred,
between the power that stands for
the government of the future and the
power that stands for the system that
has outlived its historical usefulness
and now holds on with the aid of
force. 1t will be war to the death
between the two systems and the CAPT
talist system must go. OF the event
ual result of the fight there is not
the slightest doubt.
pOBERT TOPPING, head of the de-
apartment of employment in the
British labor ministry, regretted the
heavy unemployment in Britain, in
an interview to reporters on his ar
rival in New York. Those European
representatives of the bourgeoisie
are very vocal and never fail to do a
little propaganda for capitalism dur
ing their visits here. This does not
come under the heading of "propa,
ganda," however, and there is no
danger of deportation for them. That
punishment is reserved for working
class leaders who voice the needs of
their class.
TINE exsminister agrees with Rear
4 Admiral Fiske that war is a good
evil for the nation. It bridged the
gulf between the ''clawses" in Eng
land. The aristocrats and the labor
ers are now one, he said. Some of
the aristocrats are broke it is true,
but SO far, they have not showed up
strong at the unemployment Ofiices.
They have sailed to the United States
to hunt up ambitious American heir
esses. To-day there is great fellow
ship in England and the son of an
earl working for his living is regard
ed fraternally by those who have al
ways worked for living" declared
Mr., Topping, That's that. One of
the most interesting cartoons have
ever looked at was that of Russian
duke, picking banana skin out of
the gutter in a Berlin street. He was
starving. That's the kind of living
| would like to see an English earl
making.
